Request for more current packs as rewards

I'd very much like to see pack rewards, both for events and for the daily reward, updated to include more current sets and fewer older ones. The daily rewards for this month include two sets that aren't even in standard anymore, and don't include any Dominaria except the 21-day Super Pack. I'd prefer all standard-legal sets personally, which I also think would be helpful to new players, and I'd like to see a particular focus on the newest set. I might go with something like ORI, DOM, XLN, DOM, RIX, DOM.

I also think that Across Ixalan and Trial of the Planes should be updated to give more current packs. HOD is going to be out of standard soon, and there's no good way to reliably pull RIX or DOM packs, especially if most of your crystals are going to entering those two events every day.

Just a thought. I'm curious to hear what others think.

    @Brigby @Oktagon_Daiane This is a pretty big deal.  I understand Across Ixalan giving IXN and RIX packs because of the name and theme, but there is no reason the daily rewards should be mostly legacy and Trial of the Planes should be a year-old set.  Trial especially is odd, since it always had the most recent pack up until Ixalan came out.

    For an old player like myself this isn't a massive issue, but for newer players this is incredibly serious.  Not being able to get new cards makes new events extremely difficult (how can you get the "cast 3 sagas" objective if you don't have any sagas?).  Please make this change ASAP

       The lack of recent packs as rewards has been pointed out in several discussions but it seems things aint going in that direction for now on. The rewards for AX and TOTP could have changed with DOM release but they remained the same despite of the rant about it. I supose it is probably to force players to spend currencies or cash on the latest sets.
       As far as I'm concerned i never play totp anymore, i prefer spending my crystals in recent boosters and save some time. Besides, totp has become really boring to play, there is no variety at all as players enter with the most overpowered archetype they can find in order to avoid the risk of loosing a game.
      Across ixalan is always worth playing so i can deal with older boosters, as long as they remain standard, even if i would prefer more recent boosters.
