> multiple resellers are already offering millions to buy it. I had a heated debate about this sort of artificial scarcity with a guy who uses a precision scale to weigh boosters he buys, because the foils are ever so slightly heavier due to an additional layer. Would be really funny if he was the one to find this card.
Ah MTG, the original pay to win game.

How do you pay to win in a sealed draft?
Trying to be competitive in Modern or Standard or even EDH requires spending at least $500+ per deck unfortunately (Vintage & Legacy even more I'm guessing). Though if you have a group of friends who play casually, it can be fun.

It's not a sealed draft at all. You can purchase as many decks as you like, and you can also purchase from secondhand markets.
Competitive Magic is a tiny tiny fraction of the overall market. It's also totally possible and reasonable to build competitive decks on Arena with a pure F2P account, if you're into that.

The foils aren't worth as much now as they sell collectors booster packs which contain almost all foils.

The most popular formats of Magic by far are "kitchen table" (totally casual, play with whatever cards you own), and Commander, a casual multiplayer format where super-powerful decks are generally frowned upon. Competitive Magic is a tiny tiny fraction of the overall market. It's also totally possible and reasonable to build competitive decks on Arena with a pure F2P account, if you're into that.

It would be pay-to-win if you could do stuff like, pay a fee to take a second card at once during a draft, or tutor a card from your collection during a game, etc...
This card needs to be placed in a storage container somewhere randomly in the world and opened only 20 years from now at which point a group of individuals will attempt to take it to Tongariro which was the filming location for mount doom in the movies. They will each be offered 1 million $$ to sell the card at that point but if they accept it they will get the million in half off yogurt coupons. If they actually agree to cast it into the volcano of their own volition then a team will do that safely and film it well while the "fellowship" receives the actual million they were not promised if they agreed to do this.
