Скачать или смотреть M20 Mastery Tree Update for MTG Arena - Is the season pass Worth it? Yes. Not really pay to win.

My analysis of the update regarding the introduction of the new paywall - the Insert-Season Mastery Tree. A very long ramble short, yes, the new Mastery Tree that drops 7/2 is worth the cost for the 3 month season. The true cost is really only $10ish dollars to (eventually) get 30 packs worth of cards/wild cards.

0:55 - Shout out to MP Numbers for actually making a video that gave me the information I was looking for to make this analysis.

2:12 - Mastery Tree leveling explained.

4:29 - A ramble on one of the many problems with Arena - $1 a pack is an insane price and the extra consequences of how a budget meta does not exist.

7:28 - 10 times the exp of one new player run from level 1 to 25 in order to get to lvl 100 on this mastery tree. Doable over a season.


8:31 - Totaling the monetary value of what the season pass ends up getting you. $20 gets you $40 of stuff and how I saw this exact change coming on announcement.

11:07 - The brilliance in the bs. Letting levels still accumulate even when you haven't bought the pass = a crap ton of sales at the end of the season.

13:13 - Tin foil hat theory on why the game is so insanely priced and how it ties into the Mastery pass.

16:06 - Costs less than $20 if you haven't gotten the welcome bundle yet, and then $10 each season after that (plus a pack, I guess, counting the excess 200 gems every season)

20:19 - Breaking down the value of the entire $20 Mastery Pass - $10 in gems and 30 packs worth of packs and gold.

22:48 - The brilliant realization of the tipping point for the free to players - That it makes no sense not to spend roughly $10 to get 30 packs once a season.

24:31 - Me trying to math how many wild cards people will be getting from their 30 packs - 2 mythic, 8 rare, 16 uncommon, 10 commons (average)

28:31 - The Mastery Tree itself is worthless cosmetic upgrades, hence why I didn't give it any value.

30:47 - Concluding remarks/This could have been worse.
