Fblthp discount

I WANT to buy these alt art cards. I do. They're worth resources, the art is great, the full art card concept is so cool.
But 400+ gold is NOT worth it for a card that I already have.
Why on Earth can't we get a discount if we already own the card? We're not getting any more power, we're basically throwing away valuable, valuable resources that we could use to get new cards for cosmetic upgrades.
If you want us to do that, the price needs to be way more reasonable for someone who already owns a copy of the card. If I don't own it, then those prices are reasonable, but if I already own it, it's utterly ridiculous.

Please I want to buy them. So badly.

    Isn’t the whole point of the alt art card to be a resource drain?

    When they came out initially, I got some of them. Then I realised the cards true purpose and then I stopped getting anymore - I have been tempted, but only when really powerful cards were on offer. Seems Tiamat and Old Gnawbone was too good to pass up.

    If you want to support the game - great, but alt art cards are only made to sucker punch players with OCD.

    Don't worry, an explanation is probably in the company folder entitled "things related to we value your feedback and appreciate you taking the time to respond". My guess would be right next to the portfolio about responding to daily rewards inquiries in a timely fashion.

    Full art cards are nice and in the past a good opportunity to get a card from the newest set worth to buy.
    This has changed completely because the amount of full art cards added to the game with each new set is way higher than the amount of cards that can be purchased via fblthp.
    Currently we have about 70 full art cards not released via fblthp from all standard sets.
    This was different in times prior wc takeover, when it was the goal to make all full arts cards available prior to the next sets release. In order to maintain this fblthp showed more often than now.

    You know what would help us pay full price for those cards? If you were going to guess "effective daily rewards", you would be right!

    I think that we get a lot less in general than we used to in the past. Fblthp’s frequency is just part of the larger picture.

    Hey look, a sweet alt art card of Ognis. Too bad it's more expensive than a PM2 pack!
