This right here:
Please note that the company would purchase these Starter packs from the DAO (with the company receiving a 50% revenue share) each time a Spellbook is purchased using proceeds from the Spellbook sale.
Great idea! Spellbook is expensive for new users considering it doesn't give them anything, so great job to use some of the net proceeds to make the journey easier for the new batch of players to own some cards. Stickiness is important, because we don't get value from the spellbook - we get value from players sticking around and building a collection!
Maybe that would also be a good time to remove starter cards from modern too - players can use the cards from their free pack, and they don't need to worry about "starter card penalties"
Yes - this is exactly what I said when we were discussing this internally. It's much better to use the spellbook as a way for new players to get a jump start in the game so they have a good experience and stick around rather than to use it as a profit generator.
The starter cards are also for players to use before buying the spellbook, and I don't like the idea of taking those away when someone purchases the spellbook - there shouldn't be any negatives with a spellbook purchase. I do still want to get rid of the starter cards and we have some ideas for doing that which I hope to have implemented before the launch of the new set.
ah very true, thanks for the perspective! exciting stuff
