In order that I purchased them:
Guaranteed mythic (200 jewels): Part the Waterveil
Rare/mythics, with "higher" chance for mythic 150 crystals each: Oran-Reef Hydra, Thopter Spy Network, and Hixus, Prison Warden.
This is just sort of a PSA that I had very good luck with these packs. All of these cards are brand new for me, even the hydra, and I'm really glad I purchased them. I know since there will be skeptics who don't believe in the higher chance thing or whatever. There will also be people who will unluckily open up dupes or get all rares. It happens. I wish everybody purchasing these packs luck. But these are my results, and I'm pretty happy about them! Thanks devs for these offers!

    Thanks for posting this. I wasn't sure, myself, about the "Better chance" but also I'm worried about "better chance for duplicate", too.
    Sadly, when I got the pack I got a duplicate Brood Butcher (rare), so at least you had better luck than I did (and I also had spent crystals, before this, so...).

    I guess you can still have **** RNG even with a "better chance" of a Mythic. :P

    3x150 crystals:

    Imprisoned in the Moon (dupe), Oath of Gideon (dupe), Bristling Hydra (dupe).

    These are my results, and I'm pretty sad about them. Curse you devs for these offers.

    Mythic packs: free jam regent  (dupe), mind wrack demon (new), demon of dark schemes (new)

    Masterpiece pack: Demon of dark schemes (NOW a dupe!) .... back to back even. Smh. So disappointed and depressed... unobtanium is ridiculously hard to come by and only to have it become wasted on the first masterpiece purchase ever.

    I bought 3 packs.  Got 1 mythic and 2 rares.  They were all duplicates, but I like the product and I think it was fairly costed.

    3 x150

    Gisa & Geralf  (premium tier 1 card, but a dupe)

    Oath of Jace (garbage, dupe)

    Dynavolt Tower (needed this one big time)


    3 x 200

    World Breaker (garbage, dupe)

    Dragonmaster Outcast (meh, dupe)

    Olivia (premium tier 1 card, but a dupe)


    Despite getting "great" results, it cost me 450 crystals and 600 jewels for Dynavolt Tower.  I suppose I'm used to this kind of tax.

    I think the paying customers that fund the game with pre-purchases are getting the shaft here, as I pulled two cards that I bought from them directly.

    Architect of the Untamed (new mythic)
    Angel of Invention (new mythic)

    1x150:

    I'm very pleased with the results. Definitely worth it.

    200 purple got me 1 new mythic, Startled Awake. ( https://mtgpq.info/cards/StartledAwake )

    450 gold crystals (3x150) got me nothing but dupes even though I have less than half the mythics and rares (<50% ^3 = less than 12.5% chance if you believe D3).

    I've been burned and everyone I know has been burned.

    It's hard to believe the D3 odds are honest.

    I wouldn't pay any crystals for cards until you have all PWs.

    Crystal packs: Angelic Captain, Outland Colossus and Crush of Tentacles
    Jewel packs: Smothering Abomination, World Breaker and Infinite Obliteration

    Only Infinite Obliteration was new but that's more a function of how many cards I already have more than anything else imo.

     2 new rares and 1 dupe mythics. I really would like to understand the probability in this game.... 
    I have more than 50% of the rares and got 2 new ones. I barely have 15% of the mythics and got a dupe one...

    Overall I liked the new offer since it feels our chance of getting mythics are real...

    I got 2 mythics for 150 crystals and 200 dupes (I've only bought one of each so far) and they were both new. I only have 16 mythics, so that was to be expected. Torrential Gearhulk for jewels, meh, whatever. Jewels are worthless to me anyway. Literally just bought me a bunch of mastery points lol. Sram for crystals, very happy with that. Gonna grind up another 150 crystals tomorrow, wish me luck.
