Magic fans are well aware that three packs won’t go very far in terms of gaining enough new cards to build a legal constructed deck, but it’s still a tempting offer and gets players to login. The free packs arrive at the beginning of every set to draw new players in and give dedicated players a little reward. The free packs do a nice job of introducing the more casual players to the general theme of a new set and, ideally for Wizards, may tempt them to purchase entry to an upcoming event to see even more of the new cards.
