And of the 950 cards I don't own, 660 are gold or higher. But at least 75% of the gold or higher cards I've gotten the last month have been dupes. I haven't landed a gold or higher of any of the new sets.

What is there to keep me interested if I am investing the time and energy into twitch streams and tourneys and in return get nothing of value?
Opening packs this year, like everything else, is an act of futility. I opened close 300 packs today with 2 diamonds being pulled. It's like getting kicked in the gnads over and over again. Not only have the combinator's sucked the joy out of playing tournaments, but now even opening packs is joyless.
