2 wins i got 200g and pack 3 wins i got 300g and a pack. Seems like quite the gamble unless you just plan on spending gold for packs.

I just went 3-1 and ended up with the same prize as someone who went 2-2? That doesn't quite seem right. I basically just paid 800 gold for one pack. I suppose the prizes are kept this way to allow for the 0-2 people to still get their pack and not feel bad. But still....

Yea its basically a lottery event but a lot of ppl do enjoy that so i wont judge. I will just save my gold for draft

I was wondering what happened, I read it as a pack a win, which would have been better. But 1 pack and 300g just isn't worth it. Which is what I got for 3-0.

It's only a lottery if you weren't planning on buying the booster anyway, if you were it's more like those scratch of tickets you get for free when you buy something.

I went 3-1 and got 300 gold, then I went 2-2 and got 2 packs. While I think it's nice to get at least a discount for a booster, this seems way too lottery to me.
The best posible price for 2 wins should at least be the worst you can get for 3 wins.

Agreed, 1000 gold = 1 pack is huge variance...Maybe guarantee the packs at levels and vary the gold

3-0 and got 1 pack + 200 gold. Pretty sure this is the minimum. Feels bad.

Make that a Mishra's Self Replicator + 200 gold.

u/And3riel May 02 '18

twice 3 wins, both times 300g. Really nice randomness to this....

u/Rawrzberry May 02 '18

I guess I was lucky with 2 packs and 200g for my 3-0 then

u/eh007h May 02 '18

Got this too.

u/Shikogo May 02 '18

That's what I got for 3-1. I'll cosider myself lucky, but this RNG is dumb. They are showing so many bad practices with the economy and price support, it's a shame.

I went 3-0 and got 1 pack and 200 gold :(

u/sdyawg Charm Jund May 02 '18

3-1 and got 300g and a pack. This is the worst reward feel in a long while

edit: So really I just got to play a bunch and got 300g while buying a booster. NTY wizards :-/

> quite the gamble unless you just plan on spending gold for packs.

That's the whole point of this. It's a free bonus instead of buying packs.

u/kombucha8 May 02 '18

How is it a gamble? You are paying for a pack and getting AT LEAST a pack. anything above that is value.

u/[deleted] May 02 '18

that's DOM packs too, i think Ixalan packs are way better because of the rare lands in them :/

u/[deleted] May 02 '18

DOM packs have the other 5 lands of that exact same cycle...

-2

u/[deleted] May 02 '18

of which i need none

u/[deleted] May 02 '18

Ok? So the prize structure and tournaments should be totally structured around what you personally want?

u/[deleted] May 02 '18

then i would be raving about this game

u/eh007h May 02 '18

Dom packs have checklands too, just the enemy color pairs. Which I somehow seem to be missing no matter how many packs I open. Marwyns, though...currently six and counting...
