The secondary market should be a place where anyone who engages with Hive or wants to take a position in this game should feel welcome to jump in and add trading volume.

Yeah, I think I'm on the right track too. I don't want to force any purchases or sales, but I also have to be cognizant of liquidity. If you have a card that is not Chaos Legion, Riftwatchers or a newer version of the tradeable Rewards cards... you're stuck with it (they're the other Soulbound cards!). That's bad. It's not even a power creep issue, it's a demand issue brought on by the stupid idea of Collection Power. Time to get rid of Modern/Wild splits as well so that the older cards can carry greater use and actually be sellable.
