Imbrium said: I used to feel the same way with Ixalan, @Leufbidir. I haven't "connected" with M19, and people talk about cards that I don't have, and I fully expect to have to craft them if I want them at all. I agree that the M19 set is too hard to acquire. TotP isn't an option for most people - too expensive and you don't break even. I am not necessarily advocating a drop in the entry price, (although, maybe it should be) I'm jut saying that as the only regular way to acquire more M19 content, (apart from crystals we are busy trying to accumulate for the upcoming Ravnica release or Booster crafting) the risk of losing it is too prohibitive for most. This set may well pass me by, but after acquiring most of Ixalan and experiencing the set as it was designed I will actually be sorry to see it go.

khurram said: Although i don't agree with your whole not counting TotP due to "negative" crystals gain argument. I'll set it aside for the time being and just talk about AX. It does not impart any "negative" crystal gains. So of course you try to declare it an anomaly and then discount it for the sake of your argument... because it gave "positive crystal gain, more pinks, and a booster all with refreshing nodes."? By that logic, all events are anamolies and we should not even be having this conversation. AX was an event introduced with Ixalan and it does count when considering event rewards from that period. And as reflected by the number of boosters that players could got from it as a result, RIX and DOM events are not close. "Free" or "not free" there were more events giving the latest set's boosters as rewards pre-RIX. The acquisition of cards without having to spend crystals and availability of events has in fact been continually lowered since XLN. Period.If you want to argue further, do state what you believe to be the number of boosters a player could get via events during IXN and then later during RIX and DOM to compare.
