    Just spent:
    3x 150 (yellows) -> Dupe rare, Dupe mythic, Dupe rare.
    1x 200 (pinkies) -> Dupe mythic

    what a great offer to wipe our funds giving NOTHING in return...

    How about finally implementing the system to turn dupes into some actual value? It should be #1 priority right now. Not getting any new cards for MONTHS is absolutely awful...

    It was a ripoff pure and simple.
    Rare or better
    Thalia's lieutenant dupe
    Thalia's lieutenant dupe
    Thalia's lieutenant dupe.

    Yep that right three of the same cards back to back out of a draw of over 100 possible cards.

    D3 are nothing but a bunch of thieves yet again

    It seems a way to make us spend our horded crystals before we realize how hard to obtain, thus much more valuable, they have become.

    I said to myself,  "Self, you've saved 500 crystals, and 405 jewels, just try the new deals."

    I now have 3 fresh new copies of Suppression Bonds and two spanking new copies of Days Undoing. 

    What a TINY KITTY punch in the face. My urge to quit grows daily.

    Ouch! I totally feel for you.  I thought mine was bad. I got a demon of dark schemes from the mythics pack (new) and then turned around and opened a masterpiece pack and got another demon of dark schemes (now a dupe).  200 unobtanium down the drain. I mean come on,  I have only mythics numbering less than 25 and received two exactly the same back to back in separate packs.  I can accept a dupe in yellow crystals,  but unobtanium? No... I can't.

    Indeed. Always be wary of sales that appear ahead of a big release... in this case, Amonket.

    Wait, TWO DIFFERENT players got 3 identical rares out of the Deluxe packs?

    The chances of that must be pretty damn low.

    And 2 posters in a row had back-to-back dupe mythics from their mythic packs too (and one of those posters was one who got the triple dupe rares). Not as unlikely as the triple dupes, but still...

    Mine was back to back mythic pack and then a masterpiece pack. Same mythic from both.

    150 crystal packs all dupe rares. What a scam.

    That's a good point and I didn't even realize this till you brought it up.

    While I've seen a lot of people complain about this being a scam, I myself have gotten great pulls from this sale that's going. 2 pink and 2 yellow. 4 mythics. 3 new ones - and all good mythics at that! (Reach Bandit, Architect of Untamed and Angel of Invention). So even if they timed it right before a major release and I now spent all my hoarded crystals, I am still very happy as I got some new cards that I didn't have and I really wanted all these.

    Sorry to hear many others got cards they didn't want or dupes. A lot of people in my coalition got great pulls from this offer, with only one complaint (out of around 10 people). So possibly the complaints are coming from those who got poor pulls or clearly horrific dupes (3 in a row is unthinkable).

    Basically, you can look at it both ways - a special to get people to empty their crytal stash before a release, or a chance to get potentially get good cards. It reminds me of fashion sales before a new season begins.

    Frankly I am just happy I get a shot at older mythics, which would otherwise be out of my reach, as the masterpiece packs only give current set mythics, so things like Olivia are only possible through opening normal boosters, or stuff like this. So for someone with fewer old mythics, I am ok with taking the risk. Better than getting a duplicate kaladesh mythic for 400 ;)

    Mythic packs: Whale and Boomship, both new
    Rare packs: all rares, one new (Oath of Liliana)

    This game desperately needs card crafting.

    My cards: (150 gems)

    Sigarda
    Sigarda !!
    rebooted game
    Molten Vortex

    Not sure what the odds are of getting two of the same mythic in a row, but from the sounds of it, a few people had issues pulling the exact same thing in a row. Some kind of glitch?

    Since this was an attempt to move mid-tier players into higher tiers, I wonder if the pull algorithm was entirely random.

    3 × 150 crystals:
    Sword of the Animist (new)
    Kothophed #2 (dupe)
    Smugglers Copter #6 (dupe)

    I don't know why I bothered...

    2x rare packs. Graveblade Marauder, Electrostatic Pummeler 

    1x mythic pack. Dynavolt

    All new cards. I own 40-50% of rares and maybe 15-20% of mythics. I am THRILLED about the Dynavolt.

    Really cool offer D3. Hope you guys do more of these.
