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

[JoJoFC]

For those of you that are interested in playing MOCS, be informed that Season 1 promotional card is an alternate art Force of Will.

The card itself is 100+ tix these days: having more copies will probably help Legacy on MTGO, but is it possible that an alternate art card could be cheaper than the high-priced original?

[Fooly Cooly]

you mean, i can actually play legacy on mtgo

[magac]

Going off-tanget here, but do online cards always have those highlighted texts for game terms? Or it's just someone playing random trick?

Either way, while I don't play Legacy, I sure agree this card will get everyone pumped up.

[Natedogg]

They do not. There's an option to turn off the highlighted text in one of the option menus.

Fun fact:

The format for S1 is Legacy. So if there is maintenance the week of the Season Preliminaries, you get to use your promo FoW for the event. If there isn't, you don't.

EDIT: Fun fact #2:

If you have 35 points, you can use them to get into the Season Finals directly. Or you can enter a Preliminary anyway. But if you do and don't go 5-1 or better, you lose your finals invite. Fun?

As someone who simply just drafts on MTGO what would be the best way to get one of these promos?

[casual aspect]

I believe these are the conditions of getting the promo:

* Participate in at least one (1) Constructed, Sealed Deck, or Draft tournament with a minimum of eight (8) players Standard non-foil Event Participation promotional card

* Participate in at least five (5) Constructed, Sealed Deck, or Draft tournaments with a minimum of eight (8) players Premium foil Event Participation promotional card

* Spend at least $20.00 USD in the Magic Online Store Standard non-foil Store Activity promotional card

*Spend at least $40.00 USD in the Magic Online Store Premium Foil Store Activity promotional card

From experience, it's very very difficult to make it to 15 QPS in 4 weeks from queues. If you're extremely good or play a very large amount, it's still possible, but assuming average skill you'd have to play 120 drafts in 4 weeks. It's far, far easier to earn QPs from any of the Daily Events (where you earn a QP for going 3-1 and 3 for going 4-0.)

I knew i seen some random mentions of a force of will promo earlier tonight, too bad its not a paper promo.

[gereffi]

I wasn't going to bother qualifying this month. And since it's Legacy, there's even less of a reason. But if I can get a $100 card for getting 15 QPs, I guess I've got to go for it.

[RCarlysle]

So wait to get the Force of Will Promo you have to participate in a Sealed or Draft Tourney?

[Verseau]
