Wait you only get stuff from the egg if you’ve already bought the Eldraine mastery pass?

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.

I can't imagine a world where Fabled Passage isn't a 4 of in any deck running 2+ colours. It's about as safe of a craft as there is.

Someone in here asked about Simic Flash and I think this is the decklist I'm gonna try out when I get time to build it:

No, you just need to have the M20 mastery pass, my egg auto-opened before I even had access to the client to buy the Eldraine one

Coming into play tapped is a big drawback.

e: though it untaps if you control what... 4 lands? It probably depends on the deck tbh.

You get more stuff if you own the mastery pass but the rare ICRs and NPE decks are for everyone.

The gold and gems alone still add up to 3500 gems of value if you're a limited only player who doesn't care about cosmetics btw.

Many 2 colour decks don't do much on turn 1 and unless you draw Fabled Passage on exactly turn 2 or 3 as a required land drop, the downside is extremely manageable.

Half the colour pairs only have one set of dual lands (Ravnica shocklands), and trying to play a two colour deck with only 4/24 duals is beyond miserable. Passage is the only other available dual that (can) enter untapped so expect to see a lot of it.

I'm having a hard time imagining a 2 colour deck that won't want it in this current environment.

Correcting myself: it doesn't look like you even need to have done the M20 mastery pass, as long as you had an account and played on it before today you get the Green Egg Cards

I don't believe this is accurate. The renewal gift (the egg) applies regardless of any mastery pass, however it does require that you created an account and logged in any time during the open beta (i.e. yesterday or earlier). It includes 10 ICRs, the latest NPE decks if you didn't already have them, and 12 Eldraine packs in the first 25 levels of this season regardless of the Eldraine pass. If you buy the Eldraine pass, it gives additional packs, mastery orbs, and ICRs - but again, you must have logged in during the open beta.

My egg auto opened and I got rewards for it. I assumed that I had it unlocked and spent 4k gems on drafting and now I can't unlock the mastery pass. Yay.

Ah that makes sense thanks, or maybe not? 🤔

will try a decklist i found and see how it goes.

E: importing a deck then starting the event worked. might just be something to be careful about if you see crafting requirements pop up without importing

Time to let the dead be dead.
Sealed still blows, but my second game was a half hour slog that my opponent conceded with me at 3 life, 1 card left in my deck, and my midnight clock about to strike 12, so that was a thing.

Right now the auto-tapper treats multiple geese as mana sources even if you only have one food on the board, making spells look castable when they're not

Edit: trip report on Henge -- game 1 I went against Feather and got demolished. game 2 was white weenies and I got run over. Game 3 was mono-B and I managed to land both Kiora and Henge and it owned bones
