I've *just* acquired enough mana jewels to get me to 1.2k!! That's a cool *3* mythics I can afford buying Elite packs, and any one of those cards has around a 5% chance of being a Masterpiece! When you do the maths, that makes THREE MYTHICS! In ten weeks!

I was wondering how many the rest of you have gathered? I've played most of the events that gave mana jewels in that time, except TOTP which I quickly grew tired of when it was introduced but started playing again in earnest about a week or two ago. Haven't bought any bundles which included jewels, tho, because, yknow, Not. Another. Dime.

I have received 0 new mythics since February, and the game is pretty boring aside from the Rishkar event. Hopefully Amonkhet is good to me.

I'm close to 500 jewels, so it'll be just one mythic once the new masterpieces arrive. I don't remember when I had my last mythic card from anything.

Here's the problem. Game doesn't feel rewarding anymore. I haven't gotten a new KLD card in over a month now.

Yeah, but you're sitting on KLD packs, and jewels, right? How many jewels have you collected in the past 10 weeks?

I'm missing 7 mythics from KLD, and of course a few from AER because of the exclusives. I have 35 packs and 983 jewels. I've only hoarded packs since sometime in April, because I got tired of getting nothing new (i.e. chasing Dynavolt) and figured I should wait for the exclusives.

I have managed to farm up nearly 1600 mana jewels

Currently have 255 jewels. Bought one mythic pack, got a load of trash. Spent 200 more on a guaranteed mythic pack 2 weeks ago, got my upteenth Whale ffs. Still missing a bunch of mythics from both sets

I don't collect unopened stuff.
150 unobtainium right now, 400 used for a mythic = 550 total.
Mythics collected.. I got one new from the 150 guaranteed rare offer, and somehow managed to get two new ones last Wednesday from two kld boosters. Three in two weeks does look good, but the last one before was.. Two weeks before tez became available.
But I did collect a ton of mostly dupe rares, since every event offers only kld rares that wasn't unexpected.

I'm about 80% of the way to my first super-duper pack. I might have enough for one by the end of the month.

237 current total  jewels but I did redeem 400 for a sword of body and mind

I've worked incredibly hard to get a grand total of 23 Mana Jewels.

I'm a platinum who stopped spending money a long time ago. I wish I could go back to Silver because I just can't compete against Mythic-filled Koth/Kiora decks featuring the same boring pattern of Olivia, Decimator, Hixus, Baral, Ulrich etc etc etc...

At least Training Grounds has helped me take in Crystals consistently. I recently saved up to buy a 300 Crystal booster pack (of duplicates). 

Struggling to maintain a 50% Win/Loss ratio is really frustrating. Yeah maybe I'm just not a great strategic player but the only solution now appears to be to continuously pump money into the game. 

       Why do I even play this game anymore?

I've obtained 509 purple things lifetime, including the 100 they gave us for free.

I opened one 400-purple thing pack and got a Sword of Body and Mind, which is really good and has the unexpected benefit of making Garruk playable (his wolf tokens stack with the wolf tokens it creates).  The sword only has 2 shield, though, so it's kind of fragile.

I put it in my Kiora deck to augment other fair and balanced cards like Thopter Spy Network, From Beyond, Drowner of Hope, Dubious Challenge and Imprisioned in the Moon.  In a pinch, I can Imprison my own Eldrazi scion token to generate 27 mana, and sometimes wind up with an 8/9 Moon Prison token which generates 9 mana per upkeep, 3 mana per attack, and a 2/2 wolf token each turn.  I imagine the designers felt that without the wolf token, the card would be too weak to see play.
