Buyer's remorse thread? I've never regretted buying a set as much as Conspiracy 2. It looked so good in the previews, all those Berserks and Show and Tells, but when I actually open it every fucking rare is some draft-only multiplayer-only EDH-only fucking dogshit that's 100% unusable in any real format. Holy god what a shitshow of a set, and it looked so fucking good when the spoilers came out.
Take the Crown is shit
>Buying packs for value
Well, I found your problem. You're completely retarded.
Set has good stuff. The trick is to just buy singles.
>Buy
>Singles
I don't even care about value. I just want good fucking cards that are fun to play. CON2 is filled with unfun shit cards with multiplayer mechanics. God, mechanics that only affect one format should be outlawed. It's especially grating that the fucking shit assumes multiplayer means free-for-all and the only kind of multiplayer I play is attack-to-the-left, so I can't even use the multiplayer cards in multiplayer.
I haven't opened a single good card out of a CON2 pack. Not one. And by "good" I just mean "might be used in a deck". It's all just garbage that makes me angry. Fucking Fallen Empires would be better to open because at least Hymn is playable. CON1 wasn't nearly this bad.
I was able to pick one up for $40 an d still barely made my money back
user, at least it's better than the shitshow that was Eternal Masters. I've actually cracked some neat things out of Conspiracy 2, and its price point is much more reasonable. Nothing worse than spending 45 bucks on 3 Eternal Masters packs only to crack $8 worth of cards.
But, then again, I am an EDH player, so I guess I'm easier to make happy than the average autist.

>EMA
Yeah, EMA was an outright scam. I took one look at the $14 price tag per pack, looked up how many cards in the set could possibly be worth that much, and avoided the whole thing.
The upside is that since it was a sales flop, WotC will likely try to make the next Masters set slightly less jewy.

Hope this was helpful friend!
Even in a set that's centered around draft and multiplayer there's no excuse putting in cards that can only be used in draft and multiplayer. Do you have any idea how bad it feels to open a card with the equivalent of "NOT LEGAL 99% OF THE TIME" printed on it? Those kinds of cards straight up shouldn't exist. They got rid of Ante cards for the exact same reasons they should get rid of draft-only and multiplayer-only cards.
