This isn't even the proposal anymore. It's now Matt's burning event.
But even if it was, you're looking at this in a very short-sighted way.
A few people would have gotten some great deals like that but how long would they have lasted as cards burned?. If the burned cards were spread pretty evenly over different rarities, the proposal would have burned about 14 packs worth of CL cards for every 1 RW pack. It wouldn't have taken much time to burn through the ridiculous deals and send prices higher. 500k RW packs could have burned 7 million packs worth of CL cards. That's over half of the entire CL core set of 12.5 million and RW would have still had a lower print rate than Untamed.
But again, its not even the proposal now. So if you're going to vote against it that's fine. I just want to make sure you know what you're voting against is Matt's burning event and not my burning cards for riftwatcher packs proposal.
