Would be nice if we did get one though. I'd really like a Bomat Courier, or Insidious Will.
Regardless, in light of the new format of the Fateful Showdown event, I'd like to say:
THANK YOU
The fact that we can get full progression rewards (55 points) without literally having to win AND complete every single objective (okay, except 1 pt) is a BIG plus, thanks to the fact that the current event format have total 63 points available to try shooting for the 55 point progression.
This may not mean that much in easy PvP events where completing full 63 points can be quite easy for medium to good decks, but when things like Tezzeret comes along, nobody wants to be forced to win every single objective for full progression (looking at you, Kozilek and Tyrant of Valakut)
So again, thanks.
For anyone preparing to fight the last node, here's the info I gathered in a few attempts - your creatures will probably be killed outright a few times through the fight:

I managed to defeat all the bosses this go around and accumulated 56/55 points.
The last award is a booster pack.
Is there any consolation for getting the rest of the points in the event?
This is a bit late, but the event will be recurring so I thought I'd respond. No, there is no tangible reward for going past 55 points.
