MtG:PQ Q&A Session - September 2024

Magic:PQ Support Team

Hey, everyone!

October has been spooky! Thank you for braving the eerie silence of this delay. As long as we keep the party together, we shall be safe.

As always, thanks for your contributions and patience. And submit your questions for the next edition through our form.

1. The Epic Packs cover all cards from a set, but I believe a major frustration of almost all players is the chasing of rare vanguards in 120 pink Packs that could be duplicates. Why not add a rare non-duplicate option for vanguards at say 240 pinks?
   Answer: Altering the means of obtaining a set of cards is a delicate operation, especially when, as we have mentioned before, we wish to reformulate the game economy. The Epic Packs are an avenue we explored to provide more direct access to these cards, but we currently have no plans to change the Vanguard Packs.

2. The LCI epic packs are no longer available in the vault. I wasn't able to use them, as I still had many cards left to craft. Now that I'm almost done crafting LCI (and I still need one rare Vanguard), are there any plans to have the LCI epic pack available for some time? What's the reason you removed it from the vault in the first place? Are there any plans to have epic packs for other sets as well?
   Answer: The Epic Packs are a special product and meant to come and appear in the Vault from time to time in no particular schedule, unlike booster Packs. Its most recent offer was from Sept-27 to Oct-11 and may be back at any time.
   As for Epic Packs of other sets, a new Epic Pack will enter the Vault soon, so stay tuned.

I can't imagine I missed it, as I check the vault regularly. Any more specific info on when it will return? Thanks in advance!

I think they're talking about selling Epic packs for cash, and not crystals?

That would be utterly lame. Not everyone is buying stuff for real cash.

@Machine I have no info that can be shared about when Epic Packs will be back, as we said before, soon. As in: they will, definitely.

@Janosik The idea, at least so far, is that they are always offered both for Crystals and for Cash. I'll make a note to double check that is the case the next times we schedule them, OK?
