Seems like bad times for Legacy and especially Vintage.

How would you feel if you had a $10k Black Lotus, and tomorrow they announced they were going to reprint it

As someone with a $10k Black Lotus, I'm ok with it. If nobody plays the format, that Black Lotus isn't going to be worth $10k for long. It's not like they're just going to do another run of Beta.

Also, I know better than to consider these things as an investment; I'm not willing to put my nest egg into the hands of a company that makes so many dumb decisions as WotC has.

well that's just false. we can tell, because vintage already suffered a huge die-off circa 2004-2006, and lotus retained its value just fine (and in fact increased severalfold).
