Ripped a Mox Opal from a pack of Kaladesh this morning! Excited for this as standard had outed my fav mana generator, Corrupted Grafstone. Granted, it’s not the most powerful Masterpiece, but its very playable in most any deck. Also I’m just glad to finally get one! Just goes to show with a lot of patience and a little luck you can still get pretty good cards.

    Feel bad for you! Hope you have some of the better rares/uncommons to replace that masterpiece.

    I also managed to land chain lightning (meh) and wrath of god (heck yeah!), so I can not complain.

    Chain lightning also isn't one of my favorites - but still a great card!
    However you did it : I got exclusively mythics from premium packs.
    On the other side.. One of these mythics were better than all masterpieces (RishkarsEx..) and some equally powerful. So I can't complain neither.

    Mox Opal by the way is one of my personal favorites. Versatile, cheap, no disadvantages.

    Chain lightning and wrath both came from the elite pack when I got all excited about the gods and burned 2000 jewels.  Then the gods got nerfed into obscurity but at least I have a couple of masterpeices.  Wrath is simply amazing assuming you remember to turn it off and not wipe your board the turn you planned on swinging for lethal.

    Unlike descend and fumigate it doesn't give you the option.

    I got Mind's Eye for mine. It's pretty stupid in Ob with Lost Legacy.

    I remember pulling a Platinum Angel from a random pack in my first month of play, and I thought 'Hey, the drop rate aint so bad. Maybe I can collect all masterpieces by year end.'  That was in April.  Now, I'd be happy enough not getting a dupe rare....  Make me appreciate my luck more and more since I can safely put Platinum Angel in any deck.

    Yay! Just got a masterpiece, Chain Lightning.

    Can't really participate in Trial of Strenght, because I don't have that specific Liliana, nor I intend to buy it (even having more than enough crystals). So I went to 50 ribbons to get an Amonkhet booster, got it, opened it, and it's there! 3 common dupes, a non-dupe uncommon (Ruthless Sniper), and my first masterpiece. :)

    Have seen people saying that they have most rares and mythics, and no MP, and now I have one, while I have 33 rares, 3 mythics.

    Ok, not that powerful, but surely enough to make it in my red deck and work as creature removal.

    You can play the other two nodes.

    Got my first Masterpiece out of the Chromatic Pack for 45 Crystals. Right after HOU when it was the white packs I decided to buy one just for the heck of it and pulled Armageddon. 

    Not the greatest card but very nice.

    I got Lord of Extinction right after HOU was released and it is a rather mediocre card unless you really build a deck for him. But even then it's just fattie and I rather play Metalwork Colossus.

    Yeah, but I will have no chance of getting jewels. I decided to play the other nodes up to 50 ribbons, just to get that booster, and it was worthy.

    I just pulled the absolute WORST Masterpiece in existence. A card that wouldn't be good even if it were an uncommon. Anyone care to guess which one that is?

    Lightning Greaves? Boil?  Wait I am just listing my worthless masterpeices. 

    And before anyone questions Boil's usefulness, I can confirm that you can not cast it if there is no opponents blue support on the board.

    Talking about weak master pieces, dunno exactly why, but the game gave me a booster worthy 400 jewels. I looked at the possible cards and wasn't happy about them. Some questions:

    - Should I wait to get new cards or it shouldn't really get better?
    - How much time will the booster last in my vault?
    - Is it sure it will be HOU cards after next rotation?
    - Any way to know which cards are coming?
