Someone is more likely...Yeah, it's interesting. Someone is more likely to try their first draft if it is $15 rather than $20. After the first draft Magic kind of grabs people and they play as often as they can for a year or so. If 'as often as they can' is a lot, then they can burn (or invest, depending how you look at it) through their expendable income. How long it takes them to burn through it depends on the price of playing. That's one case anyway.Luke Mulcahyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10785677939847649665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917369757695426375.post-62017159644014505772016-04-27T01:32:17.196-07:002016-04-27T01:32:17.196-07:00Sorry didn't read that bit that way.

Or will they draft much less often and spend that money else where? And what portion of the customers are money limited?

It is real. I've found that players who learnt to draft by rare-drafting, don't believe the cards they open are theirs until they win them at the end, whereas keep-drafters feel whatever they open, they now own.Luke Mulcahyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10785677939847649665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917369757695426375.post-31514613824262384382016-04-27T00:49:09.684-07:002016-04-27T00:49:09.684-07:00I think you missed an important factor: the feel b...I think you missed an important factor: the feel bads from opening the money mythic and not going home with it.

When I first started playing it ...I totally agree.<br /><br />When I first started playing it was at Metagames and the Rare drafting aspect was awesome. I was a walk in for my first draft and was playing with IsaacEgan, Jeremy Neeman, Andrew Atkinsin, and Daniel Unwin.<br /><br />One point you did not touch which is tired into the "ladder" is that rare drafting lets lesser players see how the better players evaluate cards at the end. Sharing knowledge can only lead to better practices as a whole.<br /><br />The second point is the much greater sense of community with Rare drafting. Round 3 of a keep draft has each match finish and those players go onto doing something else. A Very unceremonious ending to 3+ hoursoffun. In a rare draft, players stay to watch the other games (or at least stay in the store) and getting everyone who competed together as a group is awesome as you find out how everybody did, have a chat, share stories, and complete the draft as an event. It's much cleaner and really leads to a better community vibe. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14650748695699758357noreply@blogger.com
