I am going to vote against because I believe that this proposal has a really short term and not a long term view. The CL card base may be large, and a burn would be interesting, but I'm concerned that this is a tool that focuses more on artificially pricing things rather than sustaining the value of the game, value that is built thinking about gameplay and the opportunity for more people to play. The interesting thing would be that the RW edition has cards that introduce mechanics that are juicy, that are not detrimental to the synergies with CL and wait to grow in a proper way.

It's fine with me if you vote against it. But you should think about the fact that according to your account, you started playing in November 2021. That was right at the peak of card prices. That's not a coincidence. Almost everyone started playing around that time. Why? Because that's when cards were scarce and values were going up. That attracted your attention and everyone else's.
Where's all the new player growth since they flooded the game with CL? Non existent. And it will likely remain non existent as long as assets remain so numerous that no one cares about them. Flooding the game with 15 million CL packs was short term thinking with long term consequences. This undoes some of that. Growing in a proper way likely doesn't happen until assets are more balanced.
I start playing because I consider that the dinamic mana and ruleset where somenthing fresh in a TCG. I'm still playing because I like the game and also because I used to play other TGCs, so I'm not moved only for the need to make more money from my assets (that i dont see it like something negative at all). Thats why, no matter what, I'll continue playing till the game (hope not) bores me or dissapear.
I didn't say you were in it for the money. I said card values going up attracted your attention. The reason MOST of the player base that's here today started playing during the same 4-month window you did is because people were talking about it. Why? Because there was money to be made. Regardless to why you play it, you most likely would never have heard of the game to come play it if there weren't green candles. And if you would have, you're a rare exception.
