Do you really give me alchemy packs as a reward?

[Velamont]

If I understand correctly I get no rewards what so ever (except gold) for the next few months because wizards released that ♥♥♥♥♥♥ alchemy set and I don't play alchemy so I have no use for reward packs what so ever except maybe wildcard farming. Are you ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ me rn?

I'm glad I bought enough packs of normal sets before that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ rotated in but damn, that's not cool towards new players at all

[Berserkr]

Yep LOTR packs for everyone, in Oprahs voice, you get a lotr pack, you get a lotr pack and you get a lotr pack
But on a more serious note yeah it sucks

[magnumaniac]

yeah, it sucks - all rewards... LotR alchemy trash.
All drafts... LotR alchemy trash.
With them stretching out Standard rotation to 3 years, I fear that we are just going to see more and more of this alchemy garbage and end up with only getting 2 standard legal sets per year.

Don't forget the 70+ Standard "Jump In" varieties they replaced with nothing but LotR packs and how about a nice hand full of sh!t for all your hard Standard Ranked grinding. Glad I managed to grind a couple decks together two weeks prior to the LotR sh!t storm.

Well, at least they give you wildcards.

thats no good honestly how otherwise new players would build their collection? even if they use lotr cards the most decks in alchemy i played against use all expansions cards.

Didn't they cut off the last mastery season early to start a new one for the lotr set as well?

[Nubbles]

Alchemy packs? I thought they were brawl packs...

Alchemy cards can be used in Brawl and Historic, unless specifically banned.

[Shazbot]

yeah the "rewards" this season are actual trolling. Nobody cares about alchemy WOTC

Yes and Aftermath is a spin-off of March of Machines so the commons are the same. Every pack you open has a 100% chance that a mythic, a rare, or an uncommon will get (ock blocked by a historical card that has no profile set. When you buy an Aftermath pack it only has two aftermath cards five March of Machines commons and one Historical (ock blocker. They're determined to kill standard, or make players pay more for it. Keep in mind, the packs have already been neutered down to eight cards from fifteen cards in a pack. Just don't spend actual money on it, that would be dumb.

if the card in alchemy gets nerfed, players get refund? if in hearthstone card get nerfed you can get full refund if you remove it so i just wonder...

[Minmataro]

Dont support the set then. Dont buy the mastery pass. Just play standard. At the very least the new packs go toward wildcards. Its whatever. Use the gold you gain to buy standard packs as well.

WoC rarely nerfs anything. Also you can use the Lotr cards in historic as well.

I know you can do that but still... I'm de facto losing extra packs until the next set's release and it just sucks.

It does suck if u only play standard. Im saving all my currency for Wilds of Eldraine. If anything the lotr cards will be used if i ever get into Historic.
