I don't think it would directly hurt them financially that much. The vast majority of the online product that gets opened is in sealed events, and presumably you couldn't use coded packs for that because that just wouldn't work. It would completely crash the online card market though, which would likely mean indirect losses through people being less willing to draft because they would be getting no value out of what was opened.

The easy solution to that is not a marked code, but a code for "a pack".
jdodge1019: hasjghsalghsakljghs is from vermont
jdodge1019: vermont is made of liberal freaks and cows
jdodge1019: he's not a liberal
jdodge1019: thus he is a cow
Or just to print individual codes on the cards themselves.
One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly. The charlies were forced to not only surrender the skirmish, but also their world-famous chili recipe, which Sudo sold to Texas for a hefty profit. Sudo is a master of diplomacy.
Or they could do it like the Pokemon TCG and it's online counterpart, where they just give you and code and the code gives you a pack that is randomized online.

That's what I just said.

Hey, while yo guys are arguing about the logistics, you could read the link I just posted to the actual already established logistics of the recently established program that spawned these rumors.

Or not. Arguing is fun, I guess.
No, you shut up!

I'm just mad that I can't get my promo Pilgrim because I don't live in the US.

The packs in boxes are already mapped out... its called "Box mapping" and its a real thing.
@Shea: Those are special cards and stuff, I was talking more along the lines of "all the paper cards you open now go onto MTGO as well"
Fate is absurdly beautiful. 運命に弄ばれる

I think
MaRo words things very carefully. If he didn't explicitly say that it wouldn't get reprinted, then its still on the table.
They brought back Lightning Bolt. Just waiting on Ancestral Recall.

Built & played my first Standard deck this morning. Fate took 1st place in the tournament, I took 5th. Definitely going to fill out this deck and play it at more events: http://www.mtgdeckbuilder.net/Decks/ViewDeck/537529
So high, so low, so many things to know.
