Magic: The Gathering Arena Players React to The Controversial Ikoria Mastery Pass

Wizards of the Coast recently revealed the details for the Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths Mastery Pass for Magic: The Gathering Arena, and according to a full analysis on Reddit, there's a decrease in value as it revealed that, on average, a 20% reduction in length corresponds to a 15% reduction in cards packs and 39% reduction in gem rewards.

Wizards recently defended their decision, but it looks like fans are still not happy with the controversial changes for MTG Arena's latest Mastery Pass, with many complaining about its reduction in value while the price of a Mastery Pass remains unchanged.
