Second Chance Purchases

I've mentioned this in threads before, but we've never done an actual thread for it. 

I would love to see second chance exclusive purchases. Almost every newer player I meet covets Olivia -- regardless of the fact that they can only play her in legacy. 

I covet RE and Ulrich and would play for them -- I really want them that bad. 

What card would you pay for if it came up for sale again?

    Had I not pulled the usual suspects out of packs already (Olivia, Emrakul) I might still buy them

    Depending on if kld rotates out of standard, i could be convinced to buy Heart of Kiran.

    Bacon and Deploy were never for sale... But i can see why someone would want to buy any of those

    Olivia, that card drives me berserk, every time some one plays it against me I start literally frothing at the mouth in disgust.

    Oooo. I would but Emrakul 

    I might even buy Baral for my alt if the price was right and it’s completely F2P

    This thread is the flip side of this thread.

    I would like to see second chance purchases...even with the latest exclusives some of which I wanted.

    Although it's not an exclusive, I'm still chasing Imprisoned in the Moon.  Would gladly drop a pocket-full of purple crystals on it if given the chance.

    I think it's best to have low expectations and hopefully be proved wrong.

    Even if they did announce in the forums that we'd all be able to craft exactly the cards we wanted, they could find some way to weasel word it if they so desired.

    Or bury changes to it under a wall of text in an unassuming section like other changes.

    Even with booster crafting, the chance of getting a card you want is only improved by an increased number of boosters.

    If booster crafting only makes fresh boosters it will only be marginally usefull especially with the poor drop rates and curiously high occurrences of duplicates. Add in that it will probably cost a lot in cards and you will not see much.

    i decided not to spend anymore cash on this game. especially after the return of today's "Something Went Wrong" errors, causing me and several players to not get credited for ribbons in games won.

    Until this recurring game-killing error is fixed, it's NOT.ANOTHER.DIME from me.

    I got credit for all of my SWW’s — it was just later.

    I wish I did, I lost around 100 points to SWW, so all in all not as bad as it was.

    I've never understood why they only offer purchases on certain cards for a limited time only. Why not have a "Store" page where all the cards (and planeswalkers too, actually) previously offered for sale are still available, albeit for bit less money once they're released into the general pool, and a bit less again once they rotate out of Standard?

    The same reason "limited time only offer" is a popular sales technique. 

    It works.
