ICR Duplicate protection for events
Really need to place duplicate protection on ICR's received from FNM events etc. There's no reason these should give duplicates, especially as the game continues to grow there's always some rares that folks are going to need. I mean I get making money, but come on this is just kind of a slap in the face.

I just had the most wonderful experience playing Midweek Magic. Every reward I got was a card I didn't own.
This is certainly the way it should be.ICRs should be duplicate protected.

The Midweek Madness event for the release of Baldurs Alchemic Horizon Forbidden West was really spot on, free Phantom Drafts are a great way to get people into the new format.
However, I didn't have much chance to play the previous block, and as a result I have very few cards from SNC. Imagine my dismay when I got rewarded... Two cards from Crimson Vow D:ICRs should be duplicate protected.

I didn't realize ICR's were not duplicate protected until I completed a Chromatic Cube Draft and the only rare ICR I got was Gruul Spellbreaker which i know I already had four copies of. I played all those games and all I got was some of my gold back. I don't even think my Vault Progress moved when I got the fifth copy of the card. I was about to report a bug when I found this thread and wanted to put my 2 cents in. If they can dupe protect packs why not ICR's? Either have it give me a different rare or give me gems for compensation!

******* shameful that every single aspect of this game is designed to be as unrewarding as possible to the player base. Duplicate cards as a reward from a paid event? **** like this is why I refuse to support your Alchemy endeavors.

Hello! I'm back, sorry for the lapse in communication but I was moving to a different continent, had to buy new furniture from scratch and got COVID, among other things.
Good to see some things don't change though. Seriously, this Midweek "Madness" is "Just Play Alchemy LOL"? Not even "Build Whatever and Try it Out", I have to own the cards? AND the Rewards are not Alchemy Cards? AND AND the ICRs are still not duplicate protected?
C'mon Wezzerds... This is almost a new low. At the very least, ICRs should be Duplicate Protected.

This week's Midweek Madness feels particularly grating...
Play with only the newest cards! Receive duplicates in return!ICRs should be Duplicate Protected

Something very strange happened today, after my second win in the As Written event I got a face down card rather than the usual "New" cards we get for each win. When I clicked on the face-down card it flipped and turned out to be a Vorinclex, a Mythic I didn't have a full playset of.
I have not been able to reproduce this behavior, but I think it ought to be looked into.Or, you know, you could make it so ICRs are Duplicate Protected.

Having the cards incorrectly displayed as new makes receiving duplicates sting just a little bit more.
But this wouldn't be a problem if ICRs were duplicate protected.
You can fix a bug and improve QOL at the same time! -

Getting ICRs that are about to rotate out feels really bad.

Today's experiecne playing Midweek Madness was a beat for beat retelling of the Unrestricted Historic experience: Great format, very fun, with rewards completely disconnected from that experience.
At least I got a cool Japanese Cosmetic as a reward for the third win, that was really neat.I've also just realized there are no dates for any of my comments in this thread. Weird.
Anyways, ICRs should be Duplicate Protected. -

Great Event this week, got a lot of seasoned players like myself to flex on our deep collections and play old favorites with a new twist. I was even more stoked to receive a Mourag as one of my ICRs - A very Janky mythic, but one I didn't have a playset for! Unfortunately, my other ICR was a Skeletal Swarming, which stung a bit.
ICRs should be Duplicate Protected. Players should not feel punished for their investment into the game.

Having Midweek Madness be a Phantom Draft is a great idea. Allows new player to get a feel for the new format in a low-stakes environment that doesn't give any outstanding material rewards. I do worry a bit that an a new player can draft an unplayable pile and have no option to re-draft, but that would only be abused by others goldfishing for the most broken pile possible.
However, I'd be remis if I didn't point out that as soon as a new set was added to the game, my ICRs for the event were redundant copies of the next sets to rotate out. That just feels bad.

Another Fun and Interesting Event, but still the ICRs awarded feel like a slap across the face.
If the idea is to have more players join the queue so that new players can get their matches in and get excited about playing, why slight the rest of the player base with Reckless Crews?There are more than enough quirky and niche cards in Arena. If it worries you that players will get too much of a return by giving Gems rather than Vault Progress, then expand the pool of rewards to Historic.
I'm not asking for Gems, I'm asking for Cards. That's what the Individual Card Rewards should be, right?ICRs should be duplicate protected.

Today is another day of Mixed Feelings with Midweek Madness.
On one hand, the event is really fun, as I get to play with cards I don't have, and I even got an interesting build around as my first reward! But for my second reward I got a redundant copy of Long Rest, which felt a little like a slap on the face after my initial positive outlook.Why make a Historic Event and have the rewards be Standard Only?
Why not reward players with new cards for an event about trying out new cards?ICRs should be Duplicate Protected.
