Yeah I liked old mtg.

Is this going to be a.. buy new packs to get new cards thing? (microtransactioned)

Yes and sorta.

From what I remember watching during closed beta, you had to pay $1.50 to enter the ranked queue, and if you won you would get enough credits to keep playing in ranked queue a few times. Otherwise you had to keep forking over money to play ranked.

If you win a ranked queue (9 matches unless you lose 3 times), you get gold + cards depending on how many wins you got. So 9 wins would net you enough gold to pay back the $1.50 you spent + more, then you'd get some card packs, and some dust (used for creating single cards).

I think if you spent something like $250 was the average to get every card in the game, otherwise you'd have to play enough to get enough packs and fill up your book.
