    I see the 3 VIP ranks are labelled as '+100% value', '+170% value' and '+230% value'

    What are these bonus values compared to exactly?
    I was wondering the same thing ... I bet they compare it to the basic crystal pack value ... You know, the one that makes you pay 3 bucks for a 5 cards booster ...

    I can pay forVIP max $5 per month. $60 per year is way to much for this kind of game. And you want  $360!!!!!!! Wow [redacted] Wow [redacted]  Wow [redacted] !! At least  if VIP will cost $5 more people decide to buy it otherwise you made a good account calculations...

    Shame!

    Shame!

    Shame!

    Shame!

    Masterpiece drop rate on the Standard boosters has been cut from 3.61% to 0.36%
    When have the droprates on MP been that good? I had no clue, but then again I have better things to do than checking the every 15 mins. 
    Before this update they were 3.61%, and now they are 0.36%.

    These are the 'Standard Boosters'  you get for levelling up, or for being a VIP.
    Sigh, so now we have to log in every two hours to see if the percentages are in our favour?!?

    as mentioned earlier, got no clue this was happening. Haven’t got the energy to be aggravated.

    I tried VIP master and opend 4 booster full of non-dupe MP, 20 new MP total. Bug or not, weird anyway.

    I've had a couple rough weeks so I decided to treat myself and bought the Master Tier to try out for a month.  I'm happy to report it's better than I feared above.  The VIP packs seem to consist entirely of rares and mythics from the latest set, which got me caught up quite a bit on RNA, and the packs are all 5-card packs.  If I hadn't gotten specifically Combustible Gearhulk and Olivia Voldaren from other immediate rewards I might be feeling less sanguine however.  The "exclusive deals" currently available aren't really anything to speak of: a couple negligible currency bundles, some of the M19 rare bundles, and a very slight discount on planeswalkers (10 gold off a 1c, 30 gold off a 2c).  That makes me wonder if they even know what they want these deals to be yet.  There's also a lot of additional options for avatars and titles available to VIP members, if that's something you care about.

    @Klep I think the no dupe packs are a bug, but if they are not, then that's certainly one way to boost VIP sales...

    There's a huge bug if your family uses the same itunes account for purchases (not playing), the subscription is against this, so only 1 is possible. What I wonder about is... When the week and month come around will all accounts on the same subscription get the rewards? (It's equally possible that no account will!)

    (Yes, I'm going to go to the bug forums now! This is to warn people who haven't done it yet!)

    I got the Pro version and my 2 Standard and one Legacy pack were all non-dupe mythicals, a MP and a rare (yeah, yeah, I didn't get ALL the rares in Legacy yet..  :p )!

    If this is NOT a bug, they certainly should have advertised that because that's $15 bucks I'd spend if I was told, "2 Standard packs and 1 Legacy pack, all non-dupe $14.99" I'd have paid for that, alone. Getting every card shuddering and revealing a Mythical and a MP? That was kinda surreal (apart from the one time the crazy %'s were goofed on the HoD packs, of course.. but that was funny.. ;) ).

    @Brigby - If you haven't gone on vacay yet, can you confirm if the VIP packs were supposed to be non-dupe or not? And if they say that was intended will you please throw something solid yet harmless at them for not advertising that in the first place?

    I got the Pro $14.99 version and only got one rare. I'm on android.

    Annoyed. Not sure how to feel.

    The question is how many dupes did you get?

    So, the comedy continues... Not being one to look a gift horse in the mouth, I said "tinykitty it" and upgraded to Master...
    More VIP packs, including the next "month's" installment.
    After completing my Mythic and Masterpiece collection for the current expansion I had one card left in one of the VIP packs.. Apparently the AI said, "Um... You have everything I could give you as a non-dupe, so...."

    I got an uncommon dupe...  :D

    And you all expected something released as a new thing in this game wouldn't be riddled with errors and bugs???
    Do you not know how bad their QA is....nothing works until after 3+ patches.

    Enjoy throwing your money into a pit. This is the beginning of this game being like everyone other subscription VIP game

    And I'm the sucker who tried 1 time Pro VIP to see if this all mythic thing was legit.

    Got 2 new mythics (worthless) and 2 legacy mythics (dupes) and a ton of uncommons.

    That all-mythic glitch was bait to get us to buy in.  This plus the drop nerfs...my opinion of Octagon is plummeting even further.

    What a wretched cash grab this is.

    @Brigby do I at least get to keep the new avatar pictures if I cancel my subscription in the future, or am I paying to "rent" an avatar picture?

    Seriously ... The nerf of the "standard pack" ... What a shame ... And nothing about it in the prerelease notes ... ?
