For the limited players out there - how'd your opinion on Play Boosters settle out? (lemm.ee)

I've been taking a break from Magic since the beginning of Caves of Ixalan for a number of reasons, but am wanting to check out Bloomburrow. Since part of the reason I stepped away was the Play Booster changeup for drafting, I was wondering how people are feeling about it. I'd be particularly interested in reading your thoughts on it if you were a hater that has ultimately come around to the change.

Tbh, I'm more concerned about the play experience, but I get your hangups. Fwiw, I can say from personal experience that it is definitely possible to be completely f2p on arena (I have two accounts - one fully f2p and the other I haven't put real money into in years). You won't be drafting multiple times a day, but once a week is a reasonable expectation, plus maybe a few extra if you win enough gems back.
