    Any other mythic that you own  in the block will also get you 1000 orbs closer to the cards you want to craft. I’d prefer new prizes with each BOFT.

    I don't think they should pick a random other mythic, and flavor-wise the Immortal Sun is the only real choice.  Besides, if you're coalition is in the top 250 you get 2/5 of another mythic out of it, which is fine with me
    Depends on how you interpret flavor. 

    Elenda was slumbering in Orazca for centuries, so getting her card would be in flavor. Also getting Azor would be on flavor, and all the elder dinosaurs were in Orazca, and of course Azor’s Gateway.

    Personally, I don’t mind seeing the same mythic again as it gives more chances for more players to get it, but there are options....

    Mburn summed it up perfectly. I am in agreement.

    Look at the point where we are: celebrating for getting a dupped mythic as a prize? Please... card rewards should be something to go for and to have fun with it. Something u want to have and use in ur deck. Why dont they just give 1k orbs as a prize instead of a mythic that no one will use, never. (exept if u wanna troll the ai).
    All I see here is an abandoned reward design, they just didnt want to take the minimum time to edit the rewards.

    Look it as u want, but its just what it is, another sign of lack of interest in giving us the rewards we need and force us to buy the cards that worth it.

    I've already used Immortal Sun in several decks, it gives a good enough benefit (and Bolas protection) that it can be included if you are so inclined.

    And with the advent of Booster Crafting, a dupe mythic reward is actually pretty powerful, since it puts you a long way along toward getting a mythic you definitely don't have (and lets you somewhat target which ones you want).

    I'm not saying this is ideal, but I'm certainly not complaining about it.

    I mean, orb-wise it's 5x the reward of the dupe rare I'd always get after completed any of the old events.  And with some of the more recent events not having any rare/mythic reward upon completion...I'm hoping it's a step in the right direction.

    Certainly not complaining as well. I suppose in the theme of being creative, the reward could be a RIX Elite pack as opposed to a single mythic, which is still on flavor (nobody knew what the sun was, or where Orazca was, or what Orazca contained. In a way, the search for Orazca is literally every magic player's search for that chase rare!). Sure, you might will get a dupe, but you could won't get something new as well!

    How it is now is perfect and is great even for the people whining. Leave things here.

       I also think it's cool enough to get not one but 2 mythics to trade for orbs in this event.
       Top coalitions already get a very decent amount of currencies + 3 to 5 boosters, which looks nice already as a reward.
      Anyway, changing the sun for another mythic would mean that any player that reaches 750 points or top 250 coalitions would get a diferent mythic on each event ... Sounds a bit excesive to me.

    I also think making The Immortal Sun, an interesting but not overpowering mythic, widely available, and orbs for everyone who has it already works great. Lots of people are still looking forward to when they add pure orb rewards, but this is pretty close.

    I think they actually handled this about as well as possible. Give the top 10 teams something a little earlier and then opening up to almost all active  coalitions.

    I'm not sure , but I think they added more removal spells to the AI's deck with the update.

    They didn’t make any deck, mana or ability changes. My alliance tracks this.

    He seems to have weird luck with his deck, or a custom card ordering style. He has 2 or 3 removal spells, but usually I don't see them. Sometimes though, he gets them every time I start to build up a creature. The nastiest was when he got out that create a treasure at the end of turn support on his first turn.
