Self-harm

Buy your cards in the secondary markets and proxy the shit out of your decks.

That's exactly what eteral formats do. But they have been making "modern/legacy" power level booster packs too.

The best thing we could do for the game is run the company into the ground.

I barely care anymore. The last time I read cards was when the spanish versions of the space set were uploaded to scryfall and I could spend some time practicing spanish. I learnt the word "doquier"

Every fucking card is either bullshit removal, or "When you resolve this spell turn a land into a 0/0 creature and put a +1/+1 counter on each land that turned into a creature this turn and draw a card if your land creatures have five enchantments".

Android Netrunner in its hayday was knockout designs all over the place, every set had some weird bullshit cards that saw play all the time. there were very few super busted cards, and most of them had hate in the same set, if not, the next set to keep innovation high, and no random boosters meant that anyone had access to any card, except that ONE TIME when they couldn't print enough of the set with Jackson Howard, but they did whatever they could to ameliorate it.

Rip ANR 2012-2016, you will be missed. Even before you died, you fell off, but the core set and all expansions up to and including mumbad were the greatest game design ever.
