    At some point, it wouldn't surprise me if Wizards dictates they drop Origins from "standard".

    It should drop. Having certain powerful cards remain in the environment forever infringes on design space.

    I'd like to see a scenario where Origins drops to make way for a new core set and we are all given the commons and uncommons of that set while rares and mythics need to be obtained strictly through booster crafting. Or something to that effect.

    Interesting idea.  I'd propose a simple gradual replacement.  They release the new Core as a standalone set, replace all the intro walkers and cards with the new Core ones, and make it clear that Origins will rotate out after a set amount of time.  That way players brand new to the game start with the new Core just like we started with Origins, and older new players have time to build up a collection of Core cards to replace the Origins ones they are "losing."  For the old players it won't really matter much either way, since we'd get most of the commons and uncommons (and rares and mythics) pretty quickly anyway

    What did people get in the new Elites?  I pulled Yosei, the Morning Star and Keiga, the Tide Star which is funny because I have already battled 2 people in the Training Grounds that had Yosei...

    I'm not gonna lie...I didn't even read what the new elites do before I chucked all of my pink crystals at the new elite packs lol.

    Got Kukusho and Ryusei so I can't complain ;)

     I bought an elite pack and got the Pirate mage mythic... which was duped in a PP shortly after. A little sad about that. I really really wanted one of those MP dragons. :'(

    ouch...that's some really bad luck.  You should vent about that in the safe rant thread.  It needs some love

    I got Kokusho too, but I'm much happier that I got Etali! I only had enough for two tries, and I'm very happy with the results.

    I spent 400 purples and got a duplicate of the mythic I pulled in the single premium pack I bought last night.

    The worst is that it lagged ever so slightly long enough for me to see my rune total at the top of the screen increase before the pack opened, so I already knew what was coming.
