Will the Old Masterpieces ever be acquirable?

    I want some of the old MPs but I wouldn't approve of making them easily available without HUGE balancing that would cause major upset to a lot of people.
    The amount of work and the pain involved is unlikely to make it a viable thing from a money perspective.

    I would love to get access to the old masterpieces too.  I am someone who does their best to collect as many cards as possible, given my abilities and budget. 
    Rixalan/Ixalan was the first series where I earned enough Pinkies to score two of the dragon masterpieces from the Elite Packs, and I got some RIX mythics at a reasonable rate. 
    I am excited with DOM because I think by the time it rotates out I'm reasonably confident I can get most of the mythics if not all.  I say this, not to boast or gripe, but to say that it shows improvement in card accessibility and improvement in my game playing ability.   
    Amonkhet, despite being available for the first year that I've played, I have a miserable collection of mythics and a random very lucky pull of Dark Ritual juuust before it rotated out....
    However, I love Legacy.  I am aiming to get to the point where I can start Booster Crafting Legacy mythics and rares. and uncommons...  I know that it will take a while, but I am cheered up because it's a possibility.
    I think that mostly I'm taking a wait and see approach.  Oktagon have listened to a lot of feedback.  But like @Kinesia says above, balancing would need to be looked at.  i am so sick of Omniscience like everyone else, but like every other human if I had it, it might be a different story.

    If the developers are concerned about UI clutter, maybe they could make a Legacy cards tab in the Vault.

    That way the Standard tab could have:
    Origins
    1 Standard Set (rotating)
    Latest Set
    Elite Collection (rotating)
    Free Boosters

    Legacy can have (all rotating):
    Legacy Set #1
    Legacy Set #2
    Legacy Elite Collection #X
    Legacy Elite Collection #Y

    Along these lines, it'd be nice to get non-DOM standard EPs.  I don't see any reason why we can't always have the DOM masterpieces rotating thru like they have been supplemented by a second type of EP going thru HOU, IXL, and RIX.

    I bet we get a non-DOM EP on the next rotation. They've gone through the 3 EP DOM set twice now. I bet they do an HOU or an AMK one next.

    I sure hope I can get a shot at Omniscience! I zero masterpieces from HOU and 5 from AKH. Please gives us HOU!

    I'm waiting three months for the HoD elite pack. This rotation is horrible.

    Hey guys...I know you're probably getting tired of Dominaria, so let's shake it up a bit and give you something different, something where you can get cards you haven't had access to in a long long time.  Are you ready?  Here we go...aaaaaaaand iiiiiit's Ixalan you lucky planeswalkers you!!  Up next...Dominaria!"

    I think they are just focusing on the newest set, since its, you know, the newest and shiniest cards.  I highly doubt that there will be another AMK and HOU rotation, since those are no longer standard (well, HOU is for a few more weeks, but still probably not worth it).

    It would be nice to have another shot at the dragons and stuff, though, even if they are generally rated as eh

    I am now on 5 MP from DOM 15 total. Have every in this rotation (only pulled Hanna this time). For now, cummulating jewels for a interesting rotation or a new set, what comes first. Hanna is still the MP worth it in this set. 

    And yes, I am going for all of them.

    You mean 10 :smile:
    There are 10 masterpieces in most sets that actually have masterpieces save for RIX that has only 5 (small set).

    15 MP over all Sets. Better 15 of 65; 5 of 10 DOM
