    The implementation of booster crafting has no bearing on whether or not I play MtG:PQ in the future.
    Even if they don't implement booster crafting, I'll continue to play the game. This game is fun enough to keep my interest without it here, so I'm sure it will be just as fun with it, good or bad. Of course I'm hoping for it to be good, but as long as I can convert cards to runes if it sucks I'm good.

    Well, we have been told no duplicates. This means we aren't going to simply be crafting the normal boosters.

    When exactly were we told no duplicates?  I never saw anything remotely resembling that in official statements.
    nevermind.  I just saw it. Wow.

    'No Duplicates' says not much honestly...

    If it means we are not getting any more duplicates anymore... then booster crafting doesnt make much sense, cause if you don't get duplicates to convert then... no crafting. But it could also mean that after using the duplicates you get for booster crafting you would end up eventually with no duplicates in your collection... Which is the aiming of having a system like this i guess...

    It's a very generic statement, so i suposse we will have to wait and see what they deliver in the next weeks.

    The "No Duplicates" comment meant that players won't receive duplicates when using the Booster Crafting feature.
    Ahh that's lovely @Brigby! Thanks for the further explanation..! I really can't wait to see how it will work, and get rid of my hoarded mountain of dupes :D

    I was thinking, being able to target specific cards in
    booster crafting might still work if they removed
    origins and the current block from the list of cards
    that you can target. eg implement it so that currently
    ori, akh and hou cards cannot be crafted. this will
    allow players to play many sought after cards in
    legacy but current competitive events will not be
    stale because not everyone will have the required
    cards while the events are being run to play the
    optimal deck.

    It's possible Octagon has changed this entirely, but I believe before it was mentioned that duplicates of cards only legal in legacy as well as duplicates from Origins would be used to craft legacy boosters and that duplicates from the current sets would be used to craft standard boosters.

    Hopefully this is still the case.

    if standard legal duplicates/crafting tokens are used to
    craft standard boosters, won't that eventually result in
    optimal decks that rely on rare origins cards/mythics?
    will origins rotate out of standard?

    I honestly don't know, and it's entirely possible that this system has been abandoned. Though it's also possible that Origins cards are made from legacy tokens as opposed to standard tokens. I do remember that Origins wasn't originally slated to convert into tokens used for standard boosters. Also, I'll admit that it's been quite a while now since I read this in the first place so the details of what I'm remembering might be a little off.

    Everything by definition rotates into legacy eventually. Making Origins from legacy tokens would make the aforementioned scenario more likely.

    The system as I remembered it was set to have duplicates automatically convert into crafting tokens when you open them, so you'd have to be opening legacy packs after the initial conversion to get legacy tokens. Meaning I can't just sit on my Kaladesh duplicates until it rotates into legacy to get more Origins cards. And considering the free boosters are 100% cards in standard, again if this system is still the one they're building off of, it would make legacy cards harder to get than standard cards.

    True true. It's been so long I'd forgotten that titbit.
