I think the biggest concern I have is it will likely draw scalpers to regular boosters in addition to collector boosters but I'm not sure what WotC could do about that other than not do god packs

I guess final thoughts...like headliner cards...treat god packs as just a nice bonus you can potentially get...but...don't try to buy more packs in hoping you get one...you have a bad time.

Still, really the only cynical take I have with this is the changes seem to cater more to the what-not product/pack opening creators then the overall health of the game...but...I don't think it be as harmful to the game in the long run.

There is also the potential damage this can do to limited, but, design is probably accommodating to the new pull rates as well as judges/WPN is making godlines for god packs as we speak.

The official recommendation when a God Pack gets pulled in limited is to replace the pack with a brand new one. This is basically just for gambling.

For people who are worried about this causing scalping.....it probably won't for at least play boosters. The thing to keep in mind is with the way there changing the boosters, there in theory be more rares/mythics in the market, which means lower price on singles.

A primary tactic scalpers use is Fomo...and with how rare these god packs will be...it's really hard to sale on that along with the in theory cheaper prices on singles especially since they can have multiple print runs.

Collector boosters on the other hand...might be scalped due to the better chances along with them usually having only one print run...but....still, like headliner cards, you really should not buy something and presume you get it. Also, less cards in the packs might give people a sour taste.
