Magic The Gathering Onlin

Anyone else think this is the biggest waste of money yet smartest business venture WOTC has taken part of? Like, here buy a pack of digital cards for 2.99, 1.00 less than a real life pack and use them like you would in real life except you'll never be able to use them in real life because it's digital. I mean paying for cardboard is pretty funny lookin at this from a non magic player standpoint but paying for 011001110011 code to make a card on a computer? Just seems crazy. I realized this when I played MTGO for about a week and I had to buy packs lol

I absolutely enjoyed MTGO, but that was a flaw I saw as well. They should let you cycle out ur digital cards to real ones (and make us pay for shipping, to offset the cost difference), or go the other route, and put a code in each real pack that gives you a pack online

Yea, I saw somewhere throughout the forum about how cool it would be to put a code on the tip card that is usually in an MtG booster pack. 

[Dsx Cherno]

They sometimes put adds that have FNM advertising on one side and a QR code to the main website on the other. That card could easily have a MTGO code

You actually can redeem full sets for paper.

[Codester1991]

You can.  Once you get all the cards in a set, you can redeem it for physical cards. (with the exception of certain sets like vintage masters)

So you have to buy packs upon packs upon packs until you get at least one copy of each card then you can redeem them for a single copy of each card in the set and no copies of the cards which you do have copies of in the game? Or am I readying this wrong?

No you got it. Its a screwed up system

[Vindog]

The price to buy singles of each card in a set will be less than to just pack a playset..

Set as in set or like playset?

[Rass]

Set. You can also buy/trade for the singles you need.

Question. Can you trade a set to someone else and they turn it in or are the cards marked as being turned in?

[cltrn81]

You can usually tell when Wizards starts sending out the redeemed cards for the new sets ....... because card prices start to fall.

[Wingnut]

You can have an awesome collection on mtgo without buying a single pack. Buy singles, ALWAYS. The only reason to buy packs is if you are going to draft, but you would have to do that irl too. Seriously, buy singles unless your doing limited.

From my understanding if you trade it in you lose the virtual copies.

Correct. It's a direct exchange. You are exchanging your virtual copies for physical copies
