Arena is even worse value in my opinion. At least with in-person drafts you get some money back in the cards you get (sell anything of value). I can't justify paying the high cost they charge for *digital *drafts.
It's a real shame too, I love drafting, but there's no way I'm going to pay AU$20 for a single digital draft. I can't believe anyone else does tbh.
I was ambivalent to the play boosters change because it was just the culmination of what we had seen coming for years... increasing the cost of the game for us players.
'Project booster fun' was always about asking the question "how fast and far can we push the price-point up for boosters?" They threw a bunch of options out, tested the water, and ultimately decided enough players would pay the higher price-point for the same cost to print. Pure, unfettered greed.
Magic was already expensive enough as it is. I won't be forking out for in-person drafts at the new price. Bootleg cards serve my playgroups needs at a fraction of the costs. Greedy WotC execs don't respect players? We shouldn't respect them.
Was a really fun event, great at building our community, thank you to all involved! Looking forward to the next one
Took a lot of patience, team work, and negotiation. Biggest thanks goes to you eatham for driving the whole thing!
Unfortunately, his right foot might need a star
Canvas has just doubled. We trying to get stars and border down.
Do it. I don't understand why more people don't join credit unions / mutual banking. There's literally no downsides, they have all the same services, protections, minus the fees. It's a no brainer.
Given the size of the canvas, perhaps we should just adjust the template of the whole flag down to the size of the existing union jack?
WotC exec is schizophrenic. They will never give up trying to give players less while charging them more. The never-ending cancer of "line must got up every year".
You can just create a sustainable business model guys... one where costs are recovered and a modest return is made. You don't need to give in to the squeeze from Hasbro to milk your product into the ground... and become like every other empty shell of a product they own.
/all does seem to be devolving into just a shitty news feed of US bullshit. I try and block as much as possible, but it's not perfect. Lemmy needs a way to categorise and filter out stuff like blatant news links. I want memes and discussion, not ads and news.
Could be good if they move beyond young-adult/teen themes
