Values of Beta compared to Alpha

[edit]

The information of Beta being more desirable to players and thus more expensive is outdated. Since Alpha and other card sets can now easily be mixed with opaque sleeves, Alpha is just as playable as Beta, and since there is less Alpha in circulation, the prices are higher. You can check http://www.magictraders.com/pricelists/current-magic for prices and see that most of the time, Alpha cards gather more calue than Beta ones. I'll change the paragraph somewhat.

Library of Alexandria mention removed from P9

[edit]

I'll remove the 'honorable mention' of Library of Alexandria in the Power Nine paragraph. Multiple reasons. First of all, this is highly outdated. For at least five years now, it hasn't been anywhere near the most powerful land. Currently most players in the know would list at least Bazaar of Baghdad, Mishra's Workshop, Strip Mine and Tolarian Academy above it. Secondly, it is not in the Limited printing at all! The definition of Power Nine has become universally accepted, but this 'honorable mention' of Library definitely hasn't. Matti Nuortio, Oulu, Finland (talk) 13:13, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
