[MTGO] – MOCS 2013 Season 1 Promo is Force of Will

[mishima_kazuya]

I am not sure of the percentages, but about 300-500 people play the MOCS at the end of each season.

And there are also some amount of people that have more than 15 QPs at the end of each season that do not play the end of season MOCS for one reason or another.

Is 1,000 people a right estimate for the amount of people with at least 15 QP's at the end of each season?

It depends on the format how many people play. I know there was at least one sealed tournament that reached capacity at 1,028, so I would guess that 1,000 total is a little low.

Right, derp, 500 was the turnout for the Legacy MOCS.

So the question now is, what percentage is 2000 out of the number of people playing MTGO?

I know i've personally qualified for at least 3 mocs that I didn't play in last year due to other stuff going on that day so i'm pretty sure there's a huge number of people who just don't show.

That is not the maximum. It's an example.

The maximum is 6. You get 1 for 15 QP or more. You can technically play in all 4 preliminaries, and if you had 50QP, there's no reason not to play in at least one, because you'd stil lhave enough QPs to get into the champs. If you got QPs from that one you'd also have another FoW and you could play in at least 2 more. Going 5-1 in one and say 4-2 in another would give you 2 more, and the QPs needed to play in the final, where you need to go 4-2 for your 5th FoW.

Then you could top 64 the finals and end up with another.

6 Total.

Many people have ground out 50QPs in a season before.

There will be a LOT of Force of Will promos in the system

That is some piss-poor alternate art...

<so I take it you're a garbage standard player then?>

The reprint is much more badly needed on MTGO.

Paper, Force of Will isn't the big expense for Legacy, it's dual lands (and to a lesser extent Tarmogoyf and Wasteland but they are high on MTGO too). But in MTGO, dual lands are in much higher print (each one rare in two ME sets) than Force of Will (rare in only one ME set, with a firm promise made not to reprint it in a booster product).

A 40-50% drop in FoW's price on MTGO would make Legacy much more viable online. In doing so it would push up interest in other format staples like dual lands, both fetchlands, Wasteland and the like, probably increasing the total value of most players' and dealers' collections (except for those few that own four foil Force of Wills).

OTOH a paper 40-50% fall in Force's price would have little impact in Legacy's overall price as a format or its appeal.

I love this promo, but why have we all of a sudden, gotten an awesome promo for this season? I'm not complaining at all as this seems like such a great thing for legacy players or for people to get into this format, but why hasn't there been a promo like this before? Every other QP I've qualified for has given us 2-3 dollar rares like Sol Ring.
