Hi all,
I'm completely new to MTGO (I have the account, but I haven't played a lot with it), so I have some noob questions:
- Will I be able to buy Vintage Master packs outside draft?
- Will I be able to keep such packs unopened indefinetly? Waiting for their price to raise and resell them? (does such a thing exist in MTGO? selling for money that is)
thanks,
Danilo
Yes, you can buy packs. Do not open them! The MTGO economy is different to paper and opening packs is a massive waste of money.
Yes, you can keep them unopened indefinitely. There is no guarantee their price will increase but it often does.

Hello, another new player here. After not having played paper Magic for 20 years, Vintage Masters lured me back in.
I have read a few MTGO Beginnier's Guides, and I *think* I understand generally why you should not crack packs, but does that reasoning apply to the Vintage Masters set?
My situation is thus: I really have little interest in playing sealed or draft, or competitively. My short-term goal is to get as close to a playset of Vintage Masters as possible, while packs are still available. Would the best way to go about this (in terms of bottom line) simply to monitor the bots and buy piece by piece?
Again, I understand that keeping packs for drafts and winning extra packs is more economical... provided you have the skills/confidence to win. With 20 years of rust (2 major rules revisions, tens of thousands of new cards), I'm basically a new player.
Thanks for any advice you guys could provide. I'm not sure if this is a necro, as it's been a week, but it's a pinned topic...

Think of it this way.
You can open 24 packs. Costs $168 (rounded).
Or, imagine you took all 8 slots in a draft. You spend 24 packs and get 12 back in prizes, and spend 32 tix. So you spent 32 tix and 12 packs, $116. You get the same cards. Now you can't do this in practice, but drafts are where almost all cards come from for a reason. It's like box discounts at paper game stores.
Finally consider this. For every card in the set, there will be some drafter that owns it, and does not want it. You want to buy it from them, or pay a trade bot their 10% spread while they do it for you.
See above.
Can the OP get updated to reflect this? It's been a few days since all the cards were spoiled, even if we don't know all their rarities/art.
Thanks to DNC from Heroes of the Plane Studios for the sig
