{Show and Tell} will never be banned in legacy so anybody saying it will happen it wont and here is why, if you look at legacy a majority of players are playing the card show and tell either main deck or sideboard people have to spend over 200 dollars to buy a playset of {Show and Tell} which means if it got banned the players who purchased or traded away their kids for the playset would loose way to much money on the deck they constructed costing over 1000 dollars. You cant just replace {Show and Tell} with something else( {Sneak Attack} isnt going to do that so dont say it will) the people who have the 1000 dollar deck will have to scrap it and build a new one so the 70 dollar {Show and Tell} will be worth 20 to 25 dollars thus making people loose to much money to even care about making another legacy deck and the format would loose to many players and wizards will not let that happen
They will never not ban something because you, the consumer, would lose too much money. That is not and will not be a deciding factor. If it ever was banned, I would feel bad about all the people who spent the money on the playset, then stop feeling bad because you were maindecking 4 {show and tell}...lol.
The reason why it won't be banned is because its just as beneficial for your opponent(s). Sure you got to play {enter the infinite}, but so could your opponent.
But believe me, the amount of money you have spent on cards in a particular format will never be a deciding factor on whether or not a card is banned...
Also not to mention that Wizards makes $0 in the secondary market.
As Scotch said, money is not the deciding factor on bans. I just wish that so many people didnt just copy deck ideas and try some things on their own.
Yeah..or else they'd ban dual lands, {Lion's Eye Diamond} and {Jace, the Mind Sculptor}.
They shouldn't ban {Show and Tell}, {Force of Will} exists, and {Karakas} and a billion other answers for shenanigans.
For most people who play legacy, $100 is peanuts.

Sure, but indirectly they make a lot. If you somehow disappeared secondary market, sales of boosters would plummet and the game would slowly die, unless they would significantly reduce the price of booster.
