Too many confusing choices. I agree that consolidation into one regular pack and one premium pack is a good move.
I do not like less commons, more uncommons. Especially while keeping 3 uncommon slots.
I also agree that consolidating from 4 to 2 packs is a good move. One comment in the Youtube video was interesting though, and they mentioned that increasing the number of uncommons will make an already difficult task in collecting every uncommon even more difficult. It will also have a more profound impact on draft than I think people are aware of but that we obviously have to wait and see.
Draft will be interesting with multiple rares and good uncommons. I'm looking forward to it.
@mike @astanix I dunno that having more uncommons versus commons will really affect draft *that* much. Rarity is arbitrary and 21 "commons" getting upshifted doesn't change that much?
