My thoughts on dupe cards is not much different than what they are doing now by offering uncommons for 25 crystals. My train of thought is this, directly asking the Devs to create some kind of replacement doesn’t seem fair as it takes away the random pack mechanics this game has and replaces it with a pandering to players policy. What fun is that? But… I do recognize that players shpuld be able to buy cards individually like they do in the paper format. So… why couldn’t the dupes have a crystal point value? Say Commons are .25 of a crystal’s value uncommon are .75, rares are 1.5, Mythics are… heck if I know honestly, you guys are far better at the math used in this game but you get the gist.anyways, utilizing a 24 hour online rotation of say… X commons, X uncommon, X rares and maybe X mythics… and you can purchase the converted card slash crystals into a card of your choice from that list rotation should you see one you don’t have.i think this will appeal to both new and older players
New player here, how does this work? Does that mean there are some “special” cards in kaladesh that you can’t get in the 300 mana jewel (yellow crystal, 5x+rare) packs? When people mention elite packs here is that the card pack they are talking about?
event exclusives such as baral’s expertise ratc event
usually get released into the card packs pool after
the new set comes out.(currently you cannot find
baral’s expertise within any kaladesh+aer packs)
elite pack cards can already be found in non elite
packs. the odds are small.

If you look at your collection in game, and then select the ‘show all cards’ check box, it’ll show you every card in the game; ones you do not own will be blacked out. Some cards from the current set (currently Kaladesh) are ‘exclusive’ and are not available in packs… for example, click on Heart of Kiran and you will see it is exclusive as a cash offer, and Rishkar’s Expertise is exclusive as an event reward. Exclusive cards will remain absent from boosters until the new big set comes out (Amonkhet).
I would assume they are absent from Elite Pack boosters until then, in the same way that they are definitely absent from Kaladesh boosters.
