    I'm fine with less generous options too but give us the choice. And no I don't want QB back: that's devious

    Alternating TG with double duration
    I would be ok with any of these that allowed you to play both versions.  I picked the double duration one since it seems to be the most realistic (since the reward accrual is the same but you will still be able to play either one whenever you want).

    Obviously option A is the best solution, but I highly doubt that the devs will do it.

    Option C would be just fine too, but I'm not sure if its possible to have an event with 1 node standard and 1 node legacy.  If possible that would be a pretty ideal solution

    Two nodes would be nice, but I think the event instance itself has the set restriction settings.  Not individual nodes within it.  I don't think it's doable with a overhaul of the event system.

    I'm fine with whatever.  Alternating is fine.

    I'd prefer not having to increase the daily TG matches from 4 to 8.  I'm kinda at my personal limit doing 4 TG, 4 AIx, and 8 TotP matches daily.

    You beat me to it.

    Would it be possible to have my poll done first since it removes rewards and therefore reduces variable? or is there anyway we can have a poll that doesn't look at the rewards until a format is established? or is it okay to have both polls running at once?

    Whatever it works and stops this alternating aberration

    Or the Single TG with two nodes: one standard, one legacy.

    Anything that essentially keeps the the required games low but offers the most freedom of choice.

    @jimpark   ^^^ what he said.

    though the extra rune rewards are a nice perk, they should keep that :)

    I’d just love something that was worth playing after completing TG and the unnecessarily long event that I completed days ago. I wasn’t around during QB, but that may be what I’m looking for. I’d also be happy if there were more story mode.

    If you dont want to play, why are you here?  I'm not trying to be an ****, just curious.  What else is there in a game but to play it?

    I think you're confusing playing with grinding, my friend.

    I like fun, intense games with a good reward to chase after.  But I don't want to play 30 games a day either.  (Referencing back to that full time job, social life, etc that also has demands outside of this game).

    I truly don't care about tg. I was fine with it before , I'm fine with it now. It's 15 minutes of my day either way. I want more story mode. We have a dev team that only develops the mtg half of mtg puzzle quest . Even the set tutorials are practically nonexistent. The dominaria single player events could have been story mode battles. I don't really understand the flat out refusal to give us more story levels. Tg is fine the way it is. It seems to be a big issue with an easy fix, though. Just give us 2. I don't think an extra 15 crystals per day will break the bank, but if it will , split it over the two. Just give us what we want and we're happy . It's not a difficult concept . We're not asking for free mythics

    I get asked this question a lot due to some of my harsher and darker comments. To answer simply by copying and pasting:

    "That is a very good question. Unfortunately, it is a question I am asking myself more and more these days. And as time passes, I am getting closer and closer to the possibility of quitting the game... which actually makes me very, very sad. I am hopeful and at the same time barely hanging on it feels like. The worst part is that I know for a fact that if I were to invest this time in a real-world skill or hobby, it would be more useful to say the least.

    But, here is why I haven't quit and still play: There are many positive aspects of this game I appreciate; one of them being what you mentioned - f2p. Additionally, the game is creative in its approach of gaining mana with its match-3 system. But, the biggest element is the history I have with the original, paper MTG game. In other words, I have a deep-rooted love for this game for nostalgic reasons and, in all honesty, will most likely make it very difficult for me to quit. I imagine that many of the longer-term players can relate to this (Now, I could go into more detail and I am sure there are more positive aspects, especially recently; but, for now I will leave it at that)."

    There are other reasons and other great things about this game. To give a short list:
    - Its convenient  - mobile game, no PvP so I can pause when I need, etc
    - short time killer for 5-10 minute boredom moments (though this is getting longer now)
    - geographical location is not an issue as with real MTG card shop events

    But if your curious, some of the reasons why I don't want to have more required games can be found here: "https://forums.d3go.com/discussion/comment/821568#Comment_821568"

    Correct. A reasonable amount of grinding is fine; but, unfortunately, this game lacks balance - card balance, game-life balance, currency, etc.

    100% agree with you on this.  Storymode has been abandoned, the developers need to bring it back.

    Bring back Quick Battle - Legacy format. 2-day event. Back to back to back: 6-times / fortnight. 300 Runes per win. Legacy 400J EP for Top 10.

    Reinvent TG as Standard Showdown with double the rewards!

    I would like to see double TG every day, Standard with progression rewards and Legacy just to grind. Perhaps increase runes to 150 on Legacy. 

    I think it’s a lot to ask of D3 for 30 crystals and 4K runes a day — which is what double with full rewards would be — and I think it’s a lot to ask of casual players to put in 8 nodes for the same rewards they are getting for 4 which is what double with reduced rewards would get. 

    So give us full rewards on one and let the other be there for fun and runes. 

    What would be really cool is to give us back a running (all time) win total and all time win / loss % in legacy TG — we all really liked that.

    When you are bargaining with someone, you start asking more to agree midway, you don't just try to ask for the minimum hoping they accept. They promised standard tg and they gave it half of the days. Now we ask for both everyday and it will be their turn to lower the deal ;-)

     I say two TG every day... but not the same rewards... (there wasn't an option so here it is)

    Legacy: 15 crystals

    Standard: 5,000 runes. (About 150,000/155,000 per month)

    that way players can farm either or both. As well as test out builds in either format to their hearts desire.

    I think the alternating, two-day long Training Grounds would be the next best option. Letting players choose Standard or Legacy (either when starting or with nodes) would likely lead to a lack of Standard decks to face off against at least some of the time. I already have to wait a couple hours after TG starts if I want some actual variation in my opponents.
