@ryanedwards7487 10 дней назад

Standard is fun..but it should NEVER have been a 3 year rotation. I don't care why some people wanted it. The rest of us are sick and tired of people using decks that are 95% New Capenna or Midnight Hunt / Crimson Vow because of how much stronger several of those cards are than their newer iterations.

@ericheidgerd1064 13 дней назад

My only way I could justify it was that if all 5 cards were good versus 1-2 and a bunch of draft chaff in current packs, I was open to the idea. So much for that 😂

Because we, the community loudly confirmed to WotC that we will pay 5x + the money for the same number of cards if they're shiny with collector boosters.

@TheBizzerker 13 дней назад

Sure, it sounds bad, but don’t forget that there were also shitloads of duplicates, even within the same pack! Wait…

@Crawver 13 дней назад

Honestly one of the biggest issues with the aftermath set was how it was full of chaff. If the set was filled with actual bangers, similar to how thunder junction big score actually does have a very large number of wanted cards, it might have gone over better. But it was a low powered set, with a questionable gimmic. It was doomed to fail.

@Pararoid99 13 дней назад

The other big point of making them all mythic is to drain people of the most expensive type of wildcard on Arena. It's a scam from top to bottom at this point.

@Tuss36 13 дней назад

@jackmcnally8706 12 дней назад

The chances are MUCH lower on arena. Instead of replacing a card 1/5th of the time, they replace a MYTHIC 1/5th of the time. If you want big score cards, you may want to consider buying those mythic packs for a little more gold. (Note that this is not true for arena’s limited packs, they have the same rates as in paper at 1/5 for a big score card)

I feel like the only thing that was really wrong with Aftermath's Epilogue boosters was the price. Yugioh does 5-card boosters but the MSRP on them is like $1.50. If a box of Aftermath was $40-50 from the beginning and the packs averaged $1.50-$2 I don't think they would've been anywhere near as big a problem.

@truegamerking 12 дней назад

Honestly this. I wouldn't mind a micro set for even $2/pack. Charging regular price was where they went wrong.

@jameslarochelle8501 11 дней назад

I agree also. The disgusting part of Aftermath is paying the same price for only five cards. If you lower the price, I don't think you get the same outrage. Would they be cheered? Maybe not, but at least the cards would be as accessible as was originally intended.

@niccolofabbri1864 13 дней назад

I wouldn't call "Special guest" a bonus sheet since in the booster they don't fill the slot usually dedicated to them but they fill the slot where you can find cards from the list, because that's what they are, cards from the list that have been given a new art and a new symbol because they're particularly in theme with the set they are in. The List has always had cards added and removed with each expansion, these cards have simply now been branded as "Special Guest".

@niccolofabbri1864 13 дней назад

The Big Score big is a mistake, like Aftermath was, it shouldn't be there and only causes confusion in the set. I hope that considering the community's hatred for minisets, "Big Score" is a last-minute fix from Wotc to print cards already designed and that this format never appears again in a set.

@twarnold14 13 дней назад

Exactly!!! Notice that he didn’t mention special guests for LCI or MKM when listing other bonus sheets. Because they aren’t a bonus sheet! I wouldn’t even call BIG a bonus sheet either. It adds confusion, sure, but it’s not a bonus sheet.

@Irisiane 12 дней назад

The List was always effectively a bonus sheet. Not mentioning it for LCI and MKM is probably just because they weren't problematic there.

@zpinkerton7946 12 дней назад

Bonus sheets convinced me to play OTJ draft and were my favourite part of OTJ and WOE drafts. I absolutely adore bonus sheets being in every pack; only issue was OTJ having 3 bonus sheets competing for 1 slot.

Actually its two bonus sheets for 1 slot, the breaking news bonus sheet is its own slot guaranteed in every pack. Big Score and Special Guests can appear in the list slot.

@rx7782guncannon 12 дней назад

@@alexmanzanares200 Special Guest cards are reportedly 1 in 64 packs and would appear to be more rare than getting a non-specific Big Score card.

@coolBguy 13 дней назад

Wizards probably handled the epilogue flop the best they could with this short-term solution, but I really don't think this multiple bonus-sheets thing should be done in any future set. I don't think the high price for Big score cards, that would've cost a few cents if they were in the main set, is healthy. Maybe it's an idea to put epilogue style cards from all the main sets released in a year into one bigger set at the end of the year?

@truegamerking 12 дней назад

I agree. It's not as bad as it could have been. I don't mind this choice as a one off solution. I fear for if any of these cards become usable in pioneer/modern. All of a sudden they become very good, incredibly scarce, and even more expensive.

@laboratorymaniac7324 12 дней назад

I was at a sealed RCQ today, and the set checklist used for deck registration was two pages, even with tiny font. It's too much. It's worth noting that for The List in OTJ, the Big Score cards are weighted much higher than the Special Guests cards - the Special Guests only appear in 1 out of 64 boosters. So the odds of getting a new card from the Big Score is actually a little higher than stated in this video - it's closer to 16%. (The Prof's point still stands, though.)

@Darmanimon 13 дней назад

This video feels like it could have benefited from waiting a week before it was made, especially because only 9 of the cards from The Big Score cost more than a play booster now. Also as a personal anecdote, I absolutely loved all the bonus sheets when buying a play booster box because it made opening packs that much more fun, it was kind of nuts getting 15 mythics in my box thanks to all the bonus sheets!

@alexmanzanares200 12 дней назад

We know that they were capable of adding cards from the Big Score to the main Outlaws of Thunder Junction set because that's what they did with the new Jace. He was originally designed to be included in the Big Score due to his presence and influence on the story of Thunder Junction. Since Epilogue Boosters got axed, they decided to include him directly in Outlaws itself as an exception to their new "we're only doing one Standard legal Planeswalker per set going forward" guideline. They could have included him as part of the Big Score bonus sheet, but they specifically chose to make him part of the main set to ensure that he'd be more widely available.

They gotta fix this or im not buying sealed product anymore. Retail price should be no higher than $125-$130.

8:16 Pack-per-pack, getting a specific Big Score card is the same as getting an specific OTJ mythic. Yes, your chances of getting a specific BIG card are 0.5%, but that's how Mythics are as well. Mythics are 1 in 8 packs, and there's 20 mythics in OTJ. That's only a 0.65% chance of getting a specific mythic. Which is only a 0.15% difference.

Realistically, how many additional sets at this point already had the epilogue sets designed? 3-4? Are they going to pair down the card pool, are they going to continue with expansive bonus sheets with majority of cards on that sheet creating the excitement of soggy bread, or are they going to attempt to expand the epilogue into a two-set planes that's actually worth having as a second release? I wouldn't be mad if the first set was the primary story affecting it, and the second was the "aftermath" of that plane as long as it's worth being a, and let me say this very clearly, a full sized set. Heck, why not have the second as an Aftermath/Prologue set? Teaser Hype has been a driving force of MTG as of late.

Ehhh doubt its even 3 more, let alone 4. We know at the very least late 2023, well after Aftermath was launched, they revealed they only just started to work on the first sets for 2025. I think at that point they already had the impression that Aftermath was a flop, but they already had essentially the entire 2024 line-up finished well before that. So I doubt any sets in 2025 were planned to have aftermath, and from the remainder of 2024 theres only Bloomborrow and Duskmorn. Assassins Creed was planned to be like a Aftermath set. Considering not every standard set was planned with a Aftermath set in mind, Murders and Lost Caverns for example, I kinda doubt Duskmorn would have one. Maybe Bloomborow?

I do need to be honest... I really really liked the limited experience at the OTJ (pre-)releases!

@erubenvt 7 дней назад

I got molten dupplication on the pre release... Didnt even realize it was a bonus sheet card until watching this video just now... It felt like any other card of the set. Good and great, but I didn't even realize it was part of the BIG sheet

Big Score is definitely the sticking point here and less indicative of an overall bonus sheet problem than it is a "shoving stuff into a set haphazardly because we fucked up as usual" problem. Special Guests are always going to be List cards and eventually that will become pretty standard knowledge, and the actual bonus sheet is still nice to have. Mana Drain reprint good and all that.

well, here we have another example of how commander slowly helped to basically break MTG. Not surprised how they created basically "Super Mythic" as a rarity. When they pushed commander as the new go-to format they also changed how people interacted with boosters. Profs videos titled "Don't buy NAME SET HERE, buy these singles instead!" encapsulates this perfectly. People only need a single copy of a card in commander, which drastically shortened the demand for certain cards, esspecially with how standared and modern are neglected. Them now making potential new future staples even rarer thus has a logical reason beyond just wanting to squeeze more money out of customers, it's basically necessary to sustain the classic TCG economy.

Entirely agree as someone who primarily plays limited. I don't think the multiple sheets are necessarily impacting the format's power level any more than, say, March of the Machine's bonus sheet, but the lack of predictability in draft is certainly something that many I've spoken to have mentioned. With all the previous sheets, there's been some kind of theme, creatures, spells, artifacts, etc. It allowed you to draft potential answers accordingly. With OTJ, though it's been great fun to play so far, the random bomb mythics have felt like exactly that: too random. There's just so much stuff that can appear. I very much hope they tone it back in the future.

Best of both worlds would be to load the commander decks with those bonus sheets. That way the commander decks would have more than the regular 10 new cards. It shouldn't need to be 50 new on every deck, what about 25 new cards. 100 on the 4 deck set, but right now those already include 40 news so it will be "only" 60 new cards, really close number to the aftermath set. And the standard/draft booster would continue to work fine. But silly me, that would mean that wizards couldn't charge more money for more cards.

I've opened 50+ packs on Arena so far & only pulled 2 Memory Vessels from the "Big Score" set.

Bonus sheets bring down reprint prices and add incredible value to drafting. As a drafter, additional bonus sheets haven’t had a negative impact on the format. If anything it has added more variety to the bombs in the set.

@juanloza3689 12 дней назад

i love this set, a lot of cool cards, unless you want to play a 4 sheoldred deck, standard in country became the most accessible and fun format in a long time

My thing with bonus sheets is that while they do make a limited format a little more interesting and fun in some respects they also have a tendency to warp the format around them. They’re also pretty difficult to play around because they’re unpredictable.

@AC3handle 13 дней назад

I'm amazed they didn't just send out Pikertons to someone's house to take their cards, to generate interest. It would at least be the flavor of the set, right?
