We're pretending only Jeremy hates this game's astronomical cost? Really now? The single most complained about thing since the game was invented is now all this one Z-list youtube guy?
Is there a reasonable explanation on why scalding tarn cost $70 fucking dollars? Why the fuck do I need 4 of them?
Scalding Tarn is never going to be useless. It is, however, obscenely overpriced and its price is entirely due to artificially limited supply.
The whole Magic business model is like if chess pieces were exclusive to the World Chess Company, and instead of getting a full set of chess pieces when you buy a chessboard you had to buy blind bags that have a random piece in them, and queens had something like a 1 in ten million chance of being in the bag. No one would tolerate shit like that. Yet when it's cardboard people are so easily fooled.
That's literally the definition of worth.
No wonder you think supply and demand is a meme. You're too stupid to grasp a simple concept, as demonstrated by the fact that you cite production cost, as if it's relevant.
