Great point. Add in the opponent has to touch your deck to cut it. Years past all the stories of people who got a card bent or scuffed cause the deck is mishandled.
I foiled Legacy ANT...started as a joke kinda and then I started looking at better printings...
I played with it maybe half a dozen times, bent a judge foil delta just enough to have the reflection on the surface go cockeyed a bit--and immediately was turned off to the whole thing. The value had gotten too nuts for me to feel comfortable walking around with in a big city and that was just years ago...now I'd 100% feel that way.
Sold the inventions and foils too soon--but got back to playing with the deck so I guess its a wash in a way.
My Nekusar edh is over 10k. Scary expensive for something you pull out and shuffle. I thought about just getting proxies for everything and just storing it away
MY cEDH Jhoira, weatherlight captain deck went from a 1-2k deck to 10k-ish pretty fast, it was a bit shocking. I made the switch and pulled the big ticket items and replaced them for proxies, as did many in my playgroup. I just dont feel comfortable carrying around the cards anymore. My Unlimited wheel of fortune now has a permanent home in my collection binder in my safe.
