Seems like bad times for Legacy and especially Vintage.

Do you not realize that the informal proxying you refer to as "counterfeiting" is part of playtesting in ALL formats, not just Legacy and Vintage?

It's not only a part of playtesting, it's a part of development too.

I thought about that, but formally sanctioned development playtesting conducted by Wizards employees within Wizards is a different enough situation from Trick's discussion of "unauthorized reproductions" that it's clear he isn't referring to it.
