joerginger said: I am angry and annoyed about the fact that playing a lot and even investing money in some 'bundles' to get 400 purple gems together can still reward you with a duplicate mythic. It's not like anyone is even likely to have a lot of mythics. But still, even with the relatively large pull of possible new cards, the game still decided to give me 750 orbs instead of a new mythic. So 400 purples = 750 orbs. I don't know in which kind of bizarre universe this could be perceived as a good bargain, but where I'm sitting this looks like yet another aspect in which investment by the player (both time and money) and return by the game don't match at all. The expense is phenomenal and the return is almost nothing.

Good to know. Did you try playing against the opponent with void gems on the board? I haven’t tried myself. Just curious.

The third encounter where win in 25 or more rounds is an objective is the worst. I was trying to use Cast Out, and managed to lock all her creatures 3 times, every time she hit my Cast Out with Demolish. I also had out a New Perspectives cast first with more shields, and a Drake Haven cast later with less shields every time. She only ever played Demolish when I had all of her creatures locked. The chances of this happening randomly are 1/27 just for hitting Cast Out every time. She also got such ridiculous cascades that she was able to use her first ability almost every turn. I only managed to win because the third time I had set up a pile of drakes to disable, and happened to cast Djeru's Renunciation to save me from getting smashed by her giant creatures. This was before even making it to turn 15 btw.

Sinitar said: Yeah I have been playing since May of last year and I've only managed to pull two so far and they aren't even the top tier ones
FindingHeart8 said:that's still pretty good! I've opened maybe 10 elite packs by now...always the worst non-masterpiece mythic of the set (with Baral being the 1 exception).Moral of the story to take from this is to never go gambling lol

If any of those claims were true, you might have just faced one of them (or a player that was really active in abusing the old masterpiece elite pack draws). I beg to differ. I have 9 MPs. I've spent around 200 on this game in almost 2 years of playing. Never abused the re-rolls (except the one time I legit got two Swarm Intelligence dupes in a row, forget that). I just played every TOTP and got some lucky draws.//Removed Profanity -Brigby
