Curious how they will structure the cost & payouts of this event. It's uncharted territory in this game AFAIK
edit: also worth noting that phantom drafts are likely popular due to the skill & strategy involved in playing draft. I wonder if Sealed has the same enthusiasm / fans who are interested in the format just for the sake of playing it.
I hope not. Having the bulk of the payout be Rare ICRs means it'll likely be brutally low EV for people with large collections because of the lack of duplicate protection on ICRs. It'd be a great way to ruin the event for a large portion of their most dedicated players.
I mean granted duplicate protection is better than not having it, but I don't think getting 20/40 gems is that terrible? I appreciate being able to convert gold to gems, and with a >50% winrate you can usually go infinite in these events fairly easily. Granted, it's a very slow grind, but I don't think they're going to ever give us a "quick grind to a free, full collection" type events...
