Phantom events shouldnt be paid for...

[CourtJesterCowboy]

I dont understand why WoTc has to be so stingy in every single thing they do. I am not kicking gold or gems to phantom draft anything. If you aren't allowing us to add cards to our collection, especially considering the difficultly to acquire older cards, then it should be a midweek magic event that everyone gets to play because its a game meant to be fun, not a min maxed commodity where we have to pay for a little giggle experience.

HFS dude its getting old.

They gotta make money, and i bet not alot of people pay for virtual cards.

But hopefully it's not turning more Pay to win.

They have busted all profit goals over and over and over its actually gross once you look into it.

You get anything as a prize? Ranked progression, cosmetics, chance for play points?

Do you really not understand it? That's capitalism, baby. They don't need a reason other than eternal growth. Give you just enough in the hopes you spends real money.

Look into alternative platforms for magic if you don't want to break the bank. There's plenty to be found.

My policy is never pay for phantom events. Hence no cube, etc for me.

Yeah, you get something, I cant remember what, but that's besides the point. Not everyone is going to excel and reap those rewards, so the cards should be added to collection instead of people getting double screwed. Phantom should be midweek

Huh? Mtgo is absolute dookie and paper magic is my main these days. Its just a shame that the digital version of the game, that could be easily set up in an awesome way, is just a money machine first and foremost. Thats all. Im fully aware that the government does not control corps or even themselves.

I am right there with ya... Its basically chiming in for a few matches to get daily rewards most days, then every once in awhile, a quick draft. Anything else is usually not worth it. A few times a year I might pay for a sealed if its a sweet new set or something, because sealed at the game store is like $45 frickin dollars these days its absolutely insane.

Limited where you get to keep the cards seems an OK deal. Not amazing ofc but at least you get something. Also price vs prizes is an issue.
