Commons and Cost..

Seems to be a recurring issue in the realm of PDC: Cost of certain commons.

While we always have had cost issues with OOP (out of print) IPA commons such as Terminate - we've seen some cost escalations with the "Snow Land" commons of the Cold Snap set.

SpikeBoyM was clear to point out that the tech is very narrow as most snowlanded decks in PDC involve Skred and can easily be substituted out.

However this leaves the continued problem of certain very powerful IPA and to a lesser extent OTJ commons that are hard to replace.

As new sets have come out over the last few years and more continue to add to the "base of commons that PDC draws from" - hopefully the powerful cards can be substituted for a lower cost.

Some have the budget to buy whatever commons they want for whatever decks. Others may have limited budgets.

PDC was created to make gaming in MTGO more accessible and so far with all the events we have it seems to be working.
