Thanks for letting us all know about these changes Rob. I do think that the positives here far outweigh the negatives.
I think EVERYONE will appreciate being able to get the newest cards as prize packs now. This is an awesome addition.
I don't think many people will miss Redemption Cash, and if it simplifies things for you at Cactus, then I think that's certainly worth it.
Having Open and Closed events have the same amount of prizes is also a good move in my opinion. I know the old thought was that the Closed events were more random, but it seems to me that winning Booster is not much more random than winning T1-mp or T2-mp. It also never made too much sense to me that the events that cost people the most to play had the least prize support. So I think this is another great change.
I think a lot of people will be disappointed that the bar code trade-in program is ending. But I think everyone realizes how amazingly generous it was to have that program ever exist, and to have kept going for so long. I'm thankful for your generosity over the years, and completely understand if it's just not possible to keep that going these days.
So overall, I think these are great changes. You continue to lead Redemption in a positive direction, and I hope it keeps going for a long time
