Still don't have grip of desolation. And now I can't even purchase packs in the vault anymore. Players should be able to purchase c/uc cards from the vault for runes or crystals. A common could cost 100 runes or 10 crystals, an uncommon 500 or 50 crystals. Or whatever. They'll keep the drop rates atrocious in the erroneous belief that doing so somehow encourages spending, but an uncommon card shouldn't be as difficult to obtain as a rare or mythic. I've been playing for a while. I was playing when BFZ hit. I've spent ungodly amounts of money I shouldn't have. Why do I still not have grip of desolation? And the fact that it's one of the best removals in the game and also colorless means you would expect to see it in most decks. Yet even though I QB a lot, I very rarely encounter grip. I see scour far more often. Hell, I see to the slaughter, unholy hunger, even declaration in stone several times daily. Humble the brute. Smite. swift reckoning. anguished unmaking. That leads me to believe it isn't just my luck. The card is almost literally a mythic uncommon. And that's just ridiculous, isn't it? I should be able to just buy the stupid card and be done with it.

I checked the BFZ card list in vault once and I could swear it was colorless. That's mainly why I started wanting it. And honestly, I could be mistaken of course, but I'm almost positive I've had matches against both kiora and koth where they cast grip. When I see it occasionally now since the speed update, it flashes too fast to see. Regardless, it's vexing that I don't yet have it.
