I will not attempt, in this post, to argue about specific commander bans or nerfs that I disagree with. I simply want due compensation for the resources used to craft. In the recent wave of changes which saw Yuriko banned as commander, and Nashi lose flash, I have lost 2 of my primary decks for climbing ladder in competitive brawl. I regularly spend money to acquire either battle passes or preorder sets to gain the wildcards needed to craft these decks. Even spending a significant amount of time earning the free gold from daily quests to craft these decks, which are not cheap in terms of wildcards. The problem is, whether I agree with the reason for the bans/nerfs or not, the cards become effectively unplayable in Comp Brawl. However, I don’t receive any wildcard refund for these changes because of a loophole that Yuriko is still playable in the 99 and Nashi is also still technically playable without flash. This misses the point of Comp Brawl which only seeks to place the highest value cards in a deck. Yuriko in particular only gains her value from her commander tax bypass, and is basically worthless as a non recurring threat in the 99. Nashi, likewise only has his value in the Flash keyword allowing you to hold mana up for the opponents turn as either a surprise blocker, or returning a spell at instant speed to your hand. He is not strong enough to be played in comp brawl without flash. So while both are technically playable, neither will ever see play again in the strongest decks. I have played MTG in various forms for 24 years and I realize tabletop can be just as unforgiving if you’ve purchased an in demand card at a premium only to have the card added to a ban list and its value tanked. However MTGA, presents a non tradable economy with the unique opportunity to recompense players for their time and money invested when cards are effectively removed from play.
