There are beneficial bacteriophages for humans and other animals and plants.

They claim to be a public benefit corporation, so while they obviously need to get income to run servers and fund development, their objective as a company isn’t just to maximize shareholder value.

I don’t know where/how to find their actual foundation documents to see what those actually say for their balance of profit vs mission.

I am also wondering who is going to actually handle ranking the tens of thousands of existing cards(gatherer says 28712 legal in commander at this moment), plus hundreds more from each set as they release. Might need to be crowdsourced to be done in a reasonable time. Every deckbuilding website is also going to want to implement that info in their database.

Would be some nice karma if wotc taking over caused prices of some of the most expensive stuff to drop due to the uncertainty of the future of the format.

I get the idea, but I don’t see how that works effectively in practice. There are a lot of cards that are not good on their own, and only good in the context of a combo. Does having one of those cards in your deck make it better? No, it probably makes it worse. You need the entire combo for one of those cards to matter.

It works for those 1 off value piece cards like Dockside, Tomb, Sol Ring, etc. But multi card combos is where I think it will fail(or at least over score a deck that doesn’t include a full combo).

In every place I have been to that use this, they will still take order by person. Maybe I’m just lucky, though.

My current wizard character didn’t take counterspell until the dm sent a wizard at us with it first. He had no one to blame but himself.
