half the price for half the reward count. Im curious to see packet list. I wasnt drafting too heavilly recently so perhaps I might be able to fill some void?
Oh, awesome. Yeah unless the packs completely fucking suck I'll probably play some of that too since I wasn't that crazy about draft for this set either. Be warned that the ICR is uncommon with only a 5% chance to get bumped to rare or mythic, but if it's 1k gold for 2 rares/mythics in the packets you're still ahead of the curve compared to cracking packs anyway. Except... I guess not really since cracking packs can open wildcards and move you along the wildcard track. Eh. Depending on what's in the packs I still may play it a bit.
missed it... still it might be good enough and you wont have to play, just concede immediately
Pretty sure Jason Liang's the main (Only?) one who still plays paper. Suspiciously white, though.
I'm in a similar boat, but since you're offered 3 packs and then 3 packs I'm thinking it might be worth playing a bit since even with Kaldheim and AFR cards in there you can navigate around stuff you've got playsets of (Or genuinely don't want). First go I got sungold sentinel and champion of the perished, then next go I got smoldering egg and Tovolar. Which means thus far at least my hits in Innistrad rares I could use is pretty good. Unfortunately I did see the mythics are quite a lot rarer, gone are the early Jumpstart days of "See a planeswalker pack, take a planeswalker pack" and instead you get shit like Modenkainen as a 10% chance in a single pack. Also not getting me the rare land cycle from Innistrad so there are certainly some drawbacks to this, but at basically half price it's probably still worth it.
burned quickly 15k(since you have nearly 0 incentive to actually play your deck now) and it went quite well.
You'd have to consider unwanted rares fizzles, since a lot of these could keep you going for ages otherwise. Unwanted rares being fizzling was what finally chased me out of JHH, was still consistently pulling in cards but the amount of stuff I even wanted for jank was so low I eventually threw in the towel.
yes, thats what I meant. Basically something like: I have 7 packs that are sort of ok/amazing (out of 39). Fizzle is spending 1k and not getting any of them.
i think wait time is 2 weeks to have someone even look at your ticket. At least it used to be the case recently
They might've finally settled that after the clusterfuck earlier since I didn't get any warnings of long waits for my ticket now unlike previously. Fingers crossed at least.
I don't know what to say. It is strictly a casual deck, and not close to being competitive in Modern (which is the legal format for it) - White weenie is not a competitive decktype in Modern. If you want to play white weenie, it is doing quite ok in the current Standard, and in the MTG Arena only Historic format, Angels, lifegain, white Auras, and "death and taxes" type white weenie decks are playable.
Weird, dunno what the deal is then. I'm probably around 15k and things are getting sketchy, I'll probably duck out around the same as you. My gold reserves took another big hit after barely crawling back after JHH and minimal drafts but this event seems to be spitting out enough good shit to be worth it. Might also be the cheapest gold-to-vault thing out there since it feels like you get around 5% per 1k. Even at this "Favorable" rate it's still not worth much consideration but it's nice anyway. Next set I probably should exclusively draft with gems just to give my gold a chance to stock back up since it's always good to have a nice pile in case something odd happens like this.
Sure hope the next set's a long one, feels like we've been moving through shit to spend funny money on too rapidly since they smacked us with JHH. Been having fun playing but too many cards.
Still haven't gotten a reply on my ticket, hopefully they'll comp me a couple hundred packs to soothe the emotional trauma of not being able to play MTG properly.
