    Why has D3 cheaped out and there's no rare fpr getting 450points on the event this time?

    I presume it's because we've exhausted the list of exclusive rares.

    Would be nice if we did get one though. I'd really like a Bomat Courier, or Insidious Will.

    Should I post in this thread or ask for a new one?

    Regardless, in light of the new format of the Fateful Showdown event, I'd like to say:

    THANK YOU

    The fact that we can get full progression rewards (55 points) without literally having to win AND complete every single objective (okay, except 1 pt) is a BIG plus, thanks to the fact that the current event format have total 63 points available to try shooting for the 55 point progression.

    This may not mean that much in easy PvP events where completing full 63 points can be quite easy for medium to good decks, but when things like Tezzeret comes along, nobody wants to be forced to win every single objective for full progression (looking at you, Kozilek and Tyrant of Valakut)

    So again, thanks.

    I have one AKH rare card. There are 30 AKH rare cards in total. The final reward in the new Fateful Showdown event awards an AKH rare card. The odds were 97% in my favor to get a different rare card, and yet I got the same one. Does that seem messed up to anyone but me?

    For anyone preparing to fight the last node, here's the info I gathered in a few attempts - your creatures will probably be killed outright a few times through the fight:


    Noxious Gearhulk

    Mana Gains:

    Black: +9

    Red/Blue/Green: +5

    White: +4

    Ability: 3 loyalty, All construct creatures you control get +2/+2


    Creatures: Skysovereign, Metalwork Colossus, Noxious Gearhulk, Demon of Dark Schemes, Multiform Wonder

    Supports: Dynavolt Tower, Underhanded Designs, Midnight Oil

    Spells: Eliminate the Competition, Lost Legacy (these seem to have a lower priority than the creatures or supports, as I only saw them cast when there were no other cards in its hand)

    Is there any reason to keep playing Fateful Showdown once you achieve a score of 55?
    I managed to defeat all the bosses this go around and accumulated 56/55 points.  
    The last award is a booster pack.
    Is there any consolation for getting the rest of the points in the event?

    This is a bit late, but the event will be recurring so I thought I'd respond. No, there is no tangible reward for going past 55 points.
