    Very good! One tiny quibble: why Tezzeret the Seeker again?  He’s been in the vault 4 out of the last 5 weeks.  Is there anybody left who wants him but doesn’t have him?
    Now the other Tezz would probably be fairly popular!

    Great news all around. I'm particularly thrilled to see greater planeswalker accessibility. Having more in the Vault can only help players still building their collections.

    That's the official colloquial name for the MP packs.

    The Masterpiece Collection packs purchased for 100/120 Mana Jewels for a Rare to Masterpiece chance, or 400 Mana Jewels for a Mythic to Masterpiece chance.

    I thought it was.  But never heard it called that and on site just appears as mythic+ pack. So was checking

    It's actually not that strange of a question. They haven't been referred to as Elite Packs in-game for a long time.

    That feeling when you have to wait longer for Booster Crafting than you do for the new Star Wars.

    Technically their official names, the ones we use in-game, are Masterpiece Booster Packs. I think a lot of players have just grown used to the term Elite Pack. It's kind of like how Mana Jewels are colloquially referred to as "unobtanium"

    But at one point they were called Elite Packs. It's not like we pulled that name out of thin air.

    Huh. Currently, you're both right. Where the heck did we pick that up? Earliest example I could find was "Elite Pack 1 Survey" but it must have come from somewhere.

    They were referred to as Elite Packs when information was given about them during KLD. Back when Big Boxes and Fat Packs still existed but we were given the news that they were gonna be replaced with Premium and Super Packs.

    @Brigby actually you are the one who introduced the term.
