As someone who's played MTG off and on for just under 25 years, I've never been more disappointed. Just broke 2 boxes of my 4box case and there was ~$50 in the first box and ~$60 in the second box (no port/recruiter/jace; 4 total mythics all under $2)... that's a ~$270 loss. The floor for a $185-$240 product should be no lower than ~$100.
All this after what was the last two Masters sets too. I'm taking a break that's for sure... probably a very long one.
Um this isn't better than Browbeat, LOL. Browbeat gave you three cards or 5 damage. This lets your opponent chose between each card. It's super flexible in your opponent's favor as they are basically paying what they want to pay. Anyways kinda a moot point as a better question would be is Browbeat playable currently.
If Arena is a success (bug-free/fun), MTGO is slowly going to die. Don't see how they can possibly coexist.
Arena is also a fantastic opportunity to tie-in "freebies/extras" to their paper product. Something Hearthstone can't do. And if anyone doesn't think MTG can work without an economy I direct you to the Hearthstone sales. Arena has the potential to be the best of both worlds by supplementing Paper (which Hasbro would double-dip from, lol) and being a unique game.
The casting cost is fine - we don't want another Marvel that's for sure. It's the scry which seems a bit low. At 4 or 5, this card is kinda nutty. But at 3, it's definitely not trash yet probably needs a lot more support.
If you want specific examples of each you can either squint a lot at the image yourself or go back a few pages in this thread where myself and others have posted the text from all of the readable cards.
4chan had almost every card deciphered. Very impressive pixel work.
This sucks. Not the cards, that I rather not see in detail, but the leaks. So many cards leaked, in such bad quality, just before spoiler season of the earlier set. Months in advance... Come on!
And thats why no one in their right mind at Wizards/Hasbro would EVER sign off on a stunt like this. If someone even suggested it they'd probably find themselves in the doghouse at the company. I'd say they are furious at Wizards/Hasbro right now. And more than likely actively working to get those images taken down from that site.

Wizards has done crazier things. Remember the (Scars of Mirrodin?) leaked "creepy man" hairy leg video? No way that wasn't them.
Obviously not all leaks are them (see New Phyrexia "god book" leak), but many most assume is them whether that be a card sneaking into early packs or a creepy video.
3 boxes broke:
Values with all cards $1 and above
Box 1- $102 (0 fetch-lands)
Box 2- $278 (3 fetch-lands)
Box 3- $84 (Scalding Tarn and next highest $ card was Path to Exile, lol)
Have a 4th box I'm going to draft heads-up with a friend. But ATM wishing I only bought a single box.

Bingo. I LOVED the look of the Invocation Masterpieces. But these are so ugly and child-like drawings...

But this is the freaking Rumor Mill. If you are that offended then please step into a General thread or another website entirely.

Both PWs are pretty sweet too.
