![]() In many ways I simply took these knee-jerk reactions as a sort of truth. ![]() Now I'll admit that it had probably been a year, perhaps even two, since the last time I took a really good look at the landscape of the eternal paper card market. What struck me as a consistent through line in these type of comments was that there were certain cards that were bound to be a bottleneck for Magic Online, and to some factions this would make playing online unpalatable on price alone.

It seems WoTC got themselves a New Year's resolution for 2010 late last year which, simply stated, said they are going to be bringing Legacy to MTGO.
