I am glad to see the new set get released and us moving forward. I also like the introduction of 3 new pack types, especially the low end pack that works out to just $1 per pack - which is a cheap alternative for those just wanting to play the game.
I think this is a very good deal for the DAO, as we get not only 1/2 the revenue but we also get 10% of the non-sold packs. These packs will be very valuable down the road, and will be a big source of value to the DAO. I will certainly vote for this.
I think at some point we need to come up with a plan for packs. We can have them sitting in the DAO all we want, but doing something with them, look at the Rebellion packs in the DAO, is going to cause a crazy amount of division in the community. However, if there was a plan for the packs before the sale started I think people would be a lot more accepting of actually taking action with these packs. Right now I don't see those Rebellion packs ever leaving the DAO without significant pushback.
I look at the value of the packs in the long run, I realize others view them more useful when they are in Modern. I do agree with you that finding a solution will take a lot of time and be divisive. There are many good points regarding pros and cons of each argument and it would be great if we could have a civil discussion on a topic like this. Are we ready for that? - I certainly am and I'm sure you are too Dejota!!!
