Not really in love with this, as it kinda reads like a second Mastery Pass that costs less but with fewer (worse?) rewards. Still just kind of comes off like another complicated and confusing system to extract more money up front from the players.
Yeah it reads as another Mastery Pass but with no free track. I do like that it lets you choose which rewards you want, so you can grab the packs and only cosmetics you like. But it doesn’t seem to have nearly as much as a regular pass but it’s almost as expensive
As someone who rarely plays older formats, the only reward I value in here is the draft token. Drafts normally cost 1,500 gems. Unlocking the Horizon Hideaway costs 2,300 gems. Are a bunch of cosmetics, mostly for cards I won’t play often, worth 800 gems to me? When I put it that way, it doesn’t sound like they should be. I guess we’ll see what they look like?
The Ashling avatar looks pretty cool, although I prefer my avatar not to be a named character (currently using the Dreadhorde one).
I think they should have dropped the 2,300 gem cost to unlock it, and just allowed everyone to accumulate tickets accordingly. I don’t mind a new currency in the game, but this is really just another bundle sold to us for gems/money. And you have to do work to accumulate the rewards after you pay.
