I got 20 duplicates out of 52 rares/mythics from my packs. That seems like a lot?

I'm not complaining, I got a lot of duplicates of cards I wanted. It just seemed strange to open so few packs but keep seeing the same rares/mythics.

Is draft open yet for Eldraine, either traditional or ranked? Want to spend my gold/gems on drafts because I haven't played competitive limited in forever.

Normally Bo3 draft (gems only) is available at launch and Bo1 ranked (gems or gold) becomes available 2 weeks after release.

Only Sealed is available at launch, Bo3 draft comes in 4 days. It's the usual impatient Limited player tax to drain 'em of gems.

Ah, I'd never bothered with 1500 drafts when 2000 sealed was available and just assumed they both were up at launch.

They upped the size of the zoomed in cards on the collection screen noticeably. Low key improvement.

Trad Draft has a much better breakeven point if you have a 65%+ winrate I think.

Speaking from the high 30s I just make peace with throwing gems away

Re: the earlier Settle discussion, I was playing 1 Time Wipe 1 Settle in scapeshift. People forgot that it existed in the format and swung into it a lot.

Didn't see much Gruul hexproof at that point, and the Teferi matchups weren't the ones you wanted sweepers for anyway.

1 game in and it feels like I got a super strong sealed pool:


BG food+adventure package seems kind of obscene, especially against faster decks. I made about 10 food tokens just from ETB + the Skewer that game. Also, I feel like the Skewer has been somewhat underestimated in previews, simply because its real drawback is it's expensive for a +2/+1 which sets you behind on tempo, but black has the removal to survive tempo-loss and definitely the food to survive aggro even so. And it's great for value and enabling attacks in slower games.

Oh I opened an Oko, a Fae of Wishes, and a Great Henge with my Renewal Rewards. Off to a good start

Edit: wow I didn't know that the 12-0 event gave you access to all the cards. I wonder what the meta for this is gonna be in a week

Mastery tree goes to 110 now, but the unique cosmetic reward is still at 100 and it's basically just ICRs beyond that. I guess that's nice in that you don't feel like you have to push that far, but people who do don't feel like it's wasting their time to keep playing.

Imagine enjoying playing Magic for no reward.

Here are the patch notes I like the new sac interface they're using for food, saccing treasures was always clunky.

One thing I wish they'd add is a small random gold reward or chance of a card or whatever when losing a game . Not conceding, but just a little thing to encourage people to go ahead and take the final attack or let the simple combo play out.

If you logged in before today ever, when you log in today you get 10 random rares / mythics. Also I believe the mastery pass gets a bunch of random extra packs and whatnot in the first 30 levels on the free track.

I got 6 from Eldraine, including the Magic Mirror and like an experimental frenzy

I also got 6 from Eldraine, including the Magic Mirror, and was wondering if that was deliberate.

This was one of my biggest concerns. The food mechanic seemed like it was going to require a ton of remembering to order triggers correctly, remember your end step, etc. Anything to make that a bit simpler is welcome.

Either they disabled the mastery pass screen entirely while they're trying to fix the quest stuff or redeeming PlayEldraine broke it for me.

I played some play anything games with mono green stompy it seems really hard to not have an absurd attack on like turn 4. But with pretty limited card advantage, I'm not super high on it. I did cruise my through 3 games against knights x2 and a calvalcade deck though.

Looks like the renewal ICRs aren't actually triggering right now, either. The visual is the green egg cracking and then nothing happening but a 'more' button.

No, they need to steal tipping from gwent (I think it was) so you can give your opponent 5 gold for any game that goes to completion or a concede after enough turns. It has to allow conceding though because gently caress watching someone play their whole deck.

I'm assuming you mean 15k gold and BO1 draft event? Technically the best way to get as many rares as possible is to draft like 30-35 times and then start opening all of your gathered packs, but if you don't care about that and just want to try out draft then buy packs now and save up the 5k gold during next week.

^ thanks, I'm not super concerned with minmaxing my rares, i still have ~20 rare/mythic rare WCs, its a digital card game, recognizing the impermanence of all things, etc.

9/10 of my rares were red, including 2 of the "spawn one of 3 weenies" enchantment and embercleave :stare:

It's supposed to be 10 ICRs and the NPE decks introduced earlier this year if you don't already have those. It worked for me, but apparently someone broke it.

Check your deck list to see if you have 10 new decks from the NPE. It's possible they assigned the rewards but the screen itself got skipped. Alternatively, wait 24-48 hours and it will probably be fixed, it's not like you won't get the rewards at all.

I hope Wishclaw Talisman is playable because I pulled three in a row and then a fourth a few packs later. Other than that I feel like I got lucky with my packs, lots of castles but no fabled passages which seems like a must-have for everyone.
