I'm just going to ignore the mastery pass for now, but if it gets to a point later in the summer when I look at it and think the value of stuff already "unlocked" would be worth $20CAD then I might buy it then and get a bunch of stuff all at once

Uh, wait. You can't get more than 1000XP a day? Because I got one level and the icon seemed to lock.
But dailies are 800XP. So if you let dailies accumulate you're always wasting XP? You can't just wait to get a few together and do several at the same time anymore? Or well, you can, but it's wasted XP.
I don't like the name "Historic" because I feel like, for many players, it'll have a negative connotation just by the name.
And I want as many people playing that as I can get, because I have some favorite cards I just don't want to say goodbye to.
I've spent so many wildcards on things like rare lands. Why would I ever want to play standard and keep grinding out rares so I can make more lands?
Historic all day, every day once it drops. I bought the 5$ Welcome Bundle and will never drop another cent on things. Especially not with crap like this new Mastery System happening.

You still get the XP. You are just capped to XP from the first 3 wins. But you can still save up the 3 800 xp quests.
And the best way to start the season is to have 3 ready so on the first day you can start with 2600 XP instead of 1000 and get yourself ahead of the game a bit.
To clarify what people mean when they say 1000xp per day they mean that is the most possible generated. 800 from the quest, 200 from the win. You can still skip an 800 and get 2 of the 800s in 1 day, but that was still only 1000 per day that was made available.
I'm just going to ignore the battle pass that seems to be the best way to do it.
You also don't lose anything by just waiting until you have the gems/are sure you will get enough out of it. So if you hit level 80 and it looks like you'll have time to get 100 you can just grab it at that point and retroactively get all the other level rewards.

This took me a bit to figure out, but the lock icon is an indication that the (I'm guessing) level 4 reward is tied (or locked) to the pass and the free track doesn't have one. If you've got a quest left, you'll see that when you complete it a ring around the icon starts to fill in like on the daily quests, so you're still getting XP. I do think there should be a number as well though.
I read a bit more about the changes coming along here https://t.co/tVRTYJh4tN It sounds like the devs are planning on tweaking things as they go a fair bit.
In play news, I built a Chandra/Nissa elementals deck and it's hilarious when it pops off, Risen Reef is so much draw and it combos amazingly with Omnath for a knockout
Got my free levels and my first pack. Popped it open.
Chandra's Regulator for a rare. Oh, hai 14 damage straight to the face on a Chandra ult...
if you mean Chandra from WAR's -7, it will still only deal 7 damage from her passive; it only removes 7 loyalty when you activate it, copying the activated ability doesn't copy the passive trigger. You will exile 14 cards and be able to play them that turn tho.

Ah, okay. Whoops. Well... putting it in my Chandra/Nissa deck might still work for that if I have a crapload of mana to spend on all of it. I really need to update it for M20, now...
How am I supposed to do my Oops, All Cats deck without Vanquisher's Banner! The horror.
I've got Radiant Destiny, VB, Mirror March, and a bunch of cats, with Huatli giving me emblems for tons of card draw. And that reliquary land that removes hand size limit.
Play cat. Draw two. Draw another cat. Play cat. Mirror March gives another copy. Draw four. Draw another cat. Play cat....
When the engine is running at full speed the board goes from like three cats to more than a dozen in one turn and I'm holding like twenty cards.
Ok, made 4x of uncommon from 2020 set, open my very first pack I got from mastery, got 1 uncommon of the card I just made 4 of, piece of shit 5th copy I can't use, waste of a wildcard.
Next, I use promo code for 3 free packs of 2020, and EVERY pack had that uncommon, so 4 total fucking wasted wildcards!!!!
Need something like 300 uncommon 5th copies to get a completed vault. No way is the return any good for us f2p players.
Go out of my way for the first time to make specific cards from a new set so I can play with them asap, only to get burned pulling said cards from my first packs of said set.
Risen Reef looks playable (coiling oracle was great, so a coiling oracle that's kill on sight will be worth one more), but when you actually curve it into baby Chandra or return it with Thunderkin Awakener, holy shit it's nuts.

Especially this early when people don't know what creatures to prioritize removal on. Even without any Omnaths this deck does work.

Yeah, I eventually got that. Still, you can hardly blame me for seeing a lock on the xp bar and assuming my xp bar was locked, wouldn't you say? :P

Oh I definitely had my own WTF moment for about half an hour there yeah, I know the dailies have/had the same progress bar but I do think it needs to be a little clearer that yes you're still getting XP.
Well, that was... interesting. I was playing the "Cascade" deck, whose only win con is milling.
They had Gaea's Blessing, so I probably milled about 250 cards throughout the game.
I spotted Ugin in there, so I had to keep a Devious Coverup around for him. Otherwise I just kept wiping the board with Cleansing Nova and repeatedly cycling through their deck.
They scooped, or I would have had to sit through two hours of this, exiling his deck one card at a time with Devious Coverup.

It results in a draw in paper as well doesn't it? There's no mays involved so the loop can't be exited.
They recently changed the rules around non closed loops (like casting Nexus of date as the last card in your deck over and over each turn) so that you can propose it as a draw but if your opponent refuses then you have to break the loop or lose. I don't know if that change applied to closed loops like this
Dovin is definitely way worse than Hanged Executioner, but I only have one of those for now. Some of the other azorius stuff can go too. I am really tempted to spend wildcards on the spirit lord and clean up a little more of my deck for more spirits, but not sure yet. I would probably also put in another Sephara potentially. I could certainly use a replacement for rustwing, but not sure what would be better there.
Spectral Sailor is good almost always. After playing several dozen matches or so, it has really impressed me. Flash really comes in handy here and late game card draw really helps recover after a wipe/ deal with flooding somewhat.. Also i should mess around with the sideboard to take it into Bo3. Dive downs for grixis and monored, more spell pierces for control. I should probably just remove that veto alltogether. I should probably look for tech against the elemental decks popping up...
i just played against a real dope deck that was doing like stitcher's suppliers into tormenting voice, honor the god pharaoh, then using the black bond and blood for bones to recur a bunch of nonsense from their GY, such as rotting regisaur, ilharg, demonlord belzenlock, that big mythic red deal 4 + 3 dargan, and the new 8/8 demon, and the black cavalier
Because if you're going to attempt to squeeze that big black monster into your slot you will need to be able to take at least 12 inches or else you're going to have a bad time...

Also I think they added an infinite recursion protection that results in a draw after too many loops way back when.

I play with 24 lands in my 60 card decks, and at least a thrid of my games, I get stuck with 2 or 3 lands for the entire game.
As long as I draw at least 4 land cards by turn 4, I'm pretty happy.
