Good walk-through of the one-time bundles! I went specifically to your channel hoping you would have this kind of video up, and I was not disappointed!

Cool, glad it was useful 👍

Could you please do a break down of the value of the Phychic frog's Horizon Hideaway? I play pretty much every day and always complete the Mastery Pass but I'm not sure if this Hideaway thing is a good value.

I was just going to suggest this as well! Cheers!

I should be recording that one tonight to publish tomorrow ideally!

Do you ever buy packs or cosmetics with gems? If not - nope! I mean if you have 40k gems floating around then sure - go for it - but basically the draft token is the only real thing unless you want modern packs And with it being a pass style thing you can wait til the final day, look at your tickets stash, and decide whether its more valuable to you than a couple of gem drafts

@pointyheadYT Ай бұрын

For a standard-only player, the only worth out of that hideaway is the draft token (worth 1500gems) and the 8 packs which translate to 1.33x Rare WC + 0.8x Gold Pack (if counted towards). If we based the value of rares on pack costs in store (200gems)... considering you're only getting on average 3-4 standard legal rares/mythics out of the gold pack, that's a total of about 2500gems return on your 2800gems investment. Not worth it imo. On the other hand, if you care about historic and MH then it's very worth it. I'm sure I don't have to go into specifics. 10mythics guaranteed + 8packs of cards you're interested in + 1 draft token is huge value. Its basically a mini-mastery pass.

I wish this Planeswalker bundle would be available once per season so everybody could get to consistently draft every set for a decent value.

@bystander85 Ай бұрын

I would maybe compare the wild cards to packs as opposed to the wild card purchase. I know wild cards are worth more than packs but it might be a better way to compare an upper and lower bound of the value

If you have draft tokens from the mastery pass that you’ve not used then find a friend who loves to draft and invite them round!

@gameschooldadMTG Ай бұрын

I haven't thought of things that way because I just assume everyone is in their own Arena bubble, but yeah if you know someone else who loves to draft, let them have fun and win you some gems, they'll love it :)

I don't want to give wizards my money off principle simply because of that dumbass hideaway shop. Imagine you have to spend 20€ to be able to redeem your tickets that you grinded, and the rewards aren't all that either even if you play historic.

@DX100HHH Ай бұрын

Hideaway looks like a scam lol. You pay almost regular mastery pass value and get an opportunity to exchange ticktets xD

Welcome and the Adventure bundle is Best,sure For New Players,Buying WildCards is a Waste Agreed 👍

@brianfeeley6140 Ай бұрын

I've purchased the Welcome and Adventurer bundles for each of my 3 accounts when I first started each one... mostly so I could use the gems for Mastery Pass... then go almost exclusively FTP from there! These extra 2 offers don't seem worth it to me... I always have draft tokens in excess from Mastery Pass and also buying them when offered at a discount (for gold) during the season. Cheers!

@gameschooldadMTG Ай бұрын

Yeah I agree, I'm not likely to spend money on the new offers either, unless I decide to invest more than the occasional Mastery Pass Pre-Order, but I haven't even done that for the past 6 months or more.

one mythic wildcard is 24 packs + 1 in 30 packs. 4 x mythic wildcards would require you to open approx 60 packs which would net you also 8 + 2 x rare w/c. so in pack terms lets say 48 packs = 3 mythic and 9 rare. 48 packs = 9600 gems + 1500 gems for the value of the cost of 9200 gems

@gameschooldadMTG Ай бұрын

Just so I understand, you're saying that you'd get a similar number of wildcards to the Spark Bundle if you paid for approx 48 packs? But 48 packs would cost 9,600 gems, which would cost you around $50 in the store. Are you saying that makes the Spark Bundle good value?

I would say don't spend any money. MTG is way overpriced and they think people will just keep spending, every time they release product. MTG is not consumer friendly and you continuing to buy this crap is why they'll never care.

I hardly spend any money on Arena, and I'm a fan of the f2p strategy, but there's nothing wrong with spending money if you want to.

@@gameschooldadMTG you're absolutely correct. My point is that arena is a money grab. If you want to spend hundreds of dollars on what is basically a video game, be my guest. Real magic cards are way overpriced but digital online gaming shouldn't be charging you over and over. Again, you're right, it's absolutely your choice. I will choose to not spend another dime on it.
