Good to hear that MTGO, its economy and player base is in much better shape than supposed.
Few questions for you:

1- Big changes just happened (or will) on MTGO (Redemption, Treasure Chest,…) I assume like previous times the end of the world won’t happen despite everything said and done. Is such a situation actually profitable for bot chains with big pockets? Do big bot chains adjust their strategy to stock more cards than usual, or do they just adapt to new prices?

2- So the redemption system is going to be radically different. How bad is that for players/bots in your opinion? Do you think that if prices are bound to free fall to the ground when redemption stops the supplies for these cards will also stop abruptly (since EV would be so low for those sets) and will in turn kind of stabilize prices not as low as one can anticipate (since still needed for Standard after all)?

3- Would you use bot chains to “speculate” (in addition to traditional bot business) in the sense that you would buy sometimes more cards than needed just to accumulate them? Or is that a practice you think is too different from regular online botting (where you would just keep your stock full independently of potential future price variations)?

Thanks!
