There is no such thing as "rights on the game", all what is really legally defendable is art assets.
As I remember from some earlier discussion - there are some cards (parity shift?) wich can't be reprinted by WW because of problems with rights(on picture?), so I've made a conclution, that rights on all other cards and game materials (rulebook) are fine.
Obviously, if we are feeling paranoid, we can remake all art assets (pictures, layout, icons, rulebook).
Probably we should do it anyway - it's all very outdated (full bleed ftw) and confusing (we need to color code and layout code different types of cards and disciplines), as well as it'll be the reason for old players to buy reprints.
Yea, and getting rid of events and imbueds already will be fine too.

I´ve tried to say this, but I guess it depends on where you are. In the US you seem to be able to get into legal trouble even though you are rightThere is no such thing as "rights on the game", all what is really legally defendable is art assets.

Best case: they sell V:TES cards and M:TG cards.
I'm sure they are probably aware that they must find alternative revenues, in case the players move away to other games they don't publish.

Worse case: they sell V:TES cards instead of M:TG card. Considering the amount of work to print V:TES cards (almost none), it's a balanced bargain.
My only concern is that WotC does not want to let the game be printed because they think that VTES players will eventually turn to Magic if VTES dies, or that reopening VTES will lure some players away/back from Magic, i.e. reprinting will make Wizards lose MtG revenue.
