pass bundle
Please bring back the Pass Bundle to Arena. It's horrible and feels extremely greedy to lock it away while also increasing the price of the rest of the bundles.

Removing the pass bundle is insane and the reasoning that was provided in the announcement is both insulting and full of contradictory claims and lies.
By saying the pass bundle doesn't "...get something that you can jump into immediately once the set releases" you are also discouraging players for buying the mastery pass right away when the set launches. I have quite literally never before seen a company make the argument to it's consumers to not buy their product yet this is what you did.
Also, it should be obvious that the biggest benefit was that it cost $15 a opposed to $20 worth of gems, your team knows this and completely ignored it in your reasoning. when you said "it wasn't doing what we had hoped", what you really meant was this, it wasn't making you enough money. It had nothing to do with player dissatisfaction.
I will not spend another penny on the game if this is how you want to do business.

It was the one thing in my must buy for every set even during the horrible spider set.

I bought this bundle for the past 5 years. Do you want my money or not?

I just got into MTG during the Final Fantasy UB set. Coming from hearthstone and marvel snap I thought the battle pass was a really good deal. I’m primarily a drafter and $15 each set to get enough packs to grind gold in standard and hopefully other formats in the future seemed like a fair price of entry. Really sad to see this taken away just as I am getting into the groove with mtg arena!

I do not see why the pass bundle can't exist with the other options. We are given so many choices on how to spend money on digital products, why take one away? It does not seem to be to the benefit of the consumer which is always a bad look.

Last year already made it harder to build a collection, I had to accept that I'm just not going to get as much of each set as I used to, mostly skipping some sets entirely (omenpaths). I used to almost rare complete a set buying both the draft mastery pass bundles. Now I have to be much more careful with my resources. this change to the passes, makes me not want to spend any money and go truly free to play.

The pass and limited bundle was the thing i bought every set. Now one is gone and the other is out of my price range.

I bought all three bundles before, but now with the price increase and removal of bundles, I'm not going to buy any of them. Thanks for saving me money WoTC!

The changes to the bundles come across as greedy and the reason for the removal of the pass bundle is an insulting marketing fail. The changes are making me buy NO bundles. Congratulations Hasbro, you owned yourself

Bring back the pass. I stopped playing paper magic because you decided 10 ******* sets per year was acceptable. And now you've found a way to **** digital players as well.
If your overall goal is to drive as many players away from your game as fast as possible, you're certainly doing a spectacular job.

The pass bundle was the only money I spent on this game. This saves me $15 per set. That's across 6 sets this year. (No interest in Star Trek)

Mastery pass preorder was one of the few things I was most interested in actually buying with real money

The explanation of "frustration that you couldn't use the rewards right away" is something I don't remember ever hearing and seems disingenuous. Please reconsider this move.

The explanation you gave for getting rid of the bundle was horrible and made zero sense. Please don't lie to us. If you need to improve the economics of the game, please just admit it. Because we all saw through it.

You guys are just getting more and MORE expensive... and for what?! STOP IT!
Lower costs, bring back bundles... we're heading into a war time, you really want to make the game even LESS accessible!?
