100 % agreed . Getting into modern is a huge investment . If you even want to be fnm competitive you are going to be looking at a 3 digit price figure at the vast majority of stores . Anyone playing modern that is knowledgable enough to know what format they are playing and invested enough to try getting into it is more than capable of figuring out what cards a legal in the format . Add to that the other ' card border ' clarity issues that already exist and the whole argument just seems like a load of bullshit . <| sep |> People always hate on Wal Mart for a lot of reasons and one big reason is that they killed off the little guys business . I have always had Wal Mart in my life in my early 30 s and assumed that the pre Wal Mart world was one of more , smaller stores of variety and novelties abound . A variety of stores that I could support with my money worthy of higher prices and that I liked the most based on their principles and business practices . I ' ve heard older folks reminisce about this pre Walmart world . Now in the last decade or so I ' ve lived in a multiple 1 st and 3 rd wolrd countries including the one I currently live in . Countries with and without Walmart . I admit I miss Walmart a whole lot now that I live in a country with 0 Walmarts . Maybe the US was a rosier place before Walmart but now I doubt it . Without Walmart the stuff I buy is expensive mostly just because . The varieties aren ' t there compared to the shelves of Walmart . Stuff seems artificially overpriced or is it realistically priced , and I was spoiled to Walmart prices ? . The little mom and pop shops doesn ' t exist anymore than they currently do in the US as it is with Walmart and they usually suck . At best there are a handful of quasi and sometimes totally fake box stores that can get away with crap customer service because they are all that there is and they don ' t have to be as accountable as a huge entity . Obviously there is more to how the world works and this is just a sort of rant based on my feelings but I thought maybe someone might be interested in the opinion of someone who has gone from having the benefits of Walmart to not .
