RE: New Frontier Jackpot Cards: My take on it

But that’s also the stage where players are expected to slowly transition toward Modern. Collecting extra copies and selling them to fund a Modern-style collection feels totally fine to me.

Absolutely! And more should be done to incentivise this, especiallly leagues of some sort. For me that's what slowly killing the game; it seems no one is noticing how absurdly expensive the game is becoming, and how facing near maxed/maxed decks in low leagues completely pushed players away. No real incentive to invest when you realise you either invest hundreds/thousands or you have no chance of competing.

As for “usual players” spending time in Frontier: I still see that as a win. Keeping existing players actively engaged in any format is better than passively playing land or just botting in Wild. Engagement is engagement, and that matters.

100% this too!
