So, as I'm sure everybody was aware, Modern Masters 2015 is now available on Magic Online. One thing that people might not know- I certainly didn't- is that online boosters are $6.99, and have not emulated the price increase of physical packs. More information about the set online can be found here.
One thing that is really cool that they did with Vintage Masters (and possibly Modern Masters proper) is that some constructed events will now be offering Modern Masters 2015 packs as prizes. This is great news for those fed up with the MTGO pack economy.
This change will start after next week's downtime, and will last for two weeks (June 3-17). This stretch will be a bit higher EV than usual events, and will obviously make it easy to turn constructed events into Modern Masters 2015 drafts.
“some constructed events will now be offering Modern Masters 2015 packs as prizes”
As usual, this seems special untill you read more about it, and find out you are screwed again… if you want to win those packs, (1 or 3) you find yourself winning less then you would if that event had it’s normal price structure. I would almost say “of course”…
