Yeah, the chance to upgrade icr was lowered to something utterly ridiculous like 1% or 5%, depends on the number of wins. Seems like they no longer want it to be the no.1 played mode.
I still can't be arsed to grind past Gold in ranked constructed, because that extra booster I'd get as a reward is nothing. In the same time, I'd waste grinding the same RDW/TurboFog/WW/Golgari carousel,
I could actually earn a good bunch of gold and hopefully a useful card or two in bo1 or bo3 events.
The problem with RDW is everyone's expecting it (swear to dog, I am genuinely surprised if I don't run into four, five in constructed event), will preside against it and will mulligan for the right cards... at least the guys who know what they're doing.
Even WUR has smartened up and packing 4x Revitalize.
I never seen Golgari to be that backbreaking vs. RDW. There are guys who run Golden Showers and Moment of Craving which will give you a sound whipping, but the standard explore build is all about the Wildgrowth Wanker and recuring them with Find//Finality.
Add a bunch of lava coils, two or three, and the matchup boils down to who draws their thing first, but RDW has more bolts then they have wankers.
