My roommates and I were discussing the game and we found we hate how you have to pay for cards online and in real life. And then we came up with this idea of the way we wouldn't mind MtG:Online.

We think that there should be some way for the online game to be able to scan in the cards packs you buy. Maybe charge a few dollars more for the reallife cards but they all have a unique barcode that you can scan into the game server once and getting a matching/slightly randomized card pack.

If Nintendo/WoTC can have that E-reader Pokemon cards thingy, why cant MtG/WoTC have something similar?

What do you guys think? Would something like this make you play more since you didn't have to buy cards twice?

When the future doesn't appear to be the way you like it, re-invent it!

I'd play more if drafts had trivial/no cost to play. Right now I don't want to play magic because my favourite part of it is so damn expensive.

No question they would have more players with lower cost or alternative costs.  Hell, the suggestions on pricing schemes alone had their own board back in beta.  Then they dropped the full price bomb.

It has long been requested that WotC offer some sort of monthly fee for drafting & sealed where you dont keep the cards.

They arent interested..so drafting is mucho expensive unless you can consistently win/top3.

Which is why I basically only play leagues and fun games.  Makes me sadf.
