Thanks, so basically the Reserve list exists because of a mistake they made over 20 years ago. But technically they could do away with the Reserved List and reprint most of the cards on the Reserved List without having much effect on the price, I think. I'm not talking about the Power Nine or those cards, but cards like Masticore or Morphling or Weatherseed Treefolk are cool cards that are overshadowed by today's power creeped tournament cards but would still be popular in casual play today and unfortunately, the supply of those cards are rather low given that they will currently never be reprinted. I do think Wizards should consider this and modify their list :/

I'm not new to Magic, but after the new Masters 25 came out, was kind of disappointed but then someone brought up that a lot of the cards we are missing are on the Reserved List. Then I took a look at the reserved list. Some cards, like the Power Nine and Mox Sapphire etc made sense to me, but other cards like Natural Selection or Weatherseed Treefolk really don't. What's the criteria for the reserved list? A lot of cards on there the power level just isn't as high as modern cards. Also why wasn't Mana Drain or Force of Will on the reserved list? The Reserved List only has cards from Urza's Destiny and before. There are have been numerous cards printed since that time that are WAY more powerful than those old cards. And some of those old cards would honestly be amazing if reprinted. But Wizards apparently cannot modify or change the Reserved List at all. I don't get the point of it existing is it to protect the older collectors? but then why wouldn't you protect newer cards? Are those cards too powerful? but then why have cards like Crovax the Cursed on there which are absolutely crap if released today? I don't get it.
