The fact is that the more weplay and the time goes, the less aviable power you will get, and after power, you'll have more and more problems to acces to Bilands, than Force of Wills, etc.....
Proxies are the future of vintage in my point of view... Simply because 17 years after, the power print run is too low.
Yeah, because 18,000 printed copies of Black Lotus is not nearly enough to support a couple of hundred Vintage players.
Oh wait...
Yeah, because only Vintage players want to have Black Lotus.
Oh wait...
How many Black Lotus do you think are in the hands of collectors/casual players/destroyed/lost/sitting in a shoe box. If they were so easy to get, they would not be so expensive. It is obvious that more then just Vintage players are buying the card.
