Over the last 3 weeks of December I grinded out 8 trophies to get the maximum 3 entries into the finals. I’m an almost exclusively limited player but didn’t mind toughing out the constructed events for the extra finals entries.
Unfortunately my family had prior plans all day on Saturday (event final) but I was determined to get my cube drafts in last night after everyone went to bed.
Ended up slogging to a 4-3 finish with a control deck in my first draft (after several mistakes due to fatigue) and went to bed around 3:00am.
Woke up this morning and barely completed my 2nd draft (also 4-3) at 11:30am which left my 3rd entry token to disappear into the ether. (In hindsight I should have dropped at 4-2 and started the 3rd draft for a better chance at 3 more draft tokens).
I understand it’s my own fault for not making more time for the finals but I find it completely unreasonable for WotC not to extend the finals window to 2-3 days for such a time intensive event (getting to 7 wins in traditional draft can take several hours) with multiple entry chances per individual. Doesn’t seem like it would “cost” them too much to extend an online event and I’m sure a ton of people with other life plans would be extremely grateful.
TLDR: WotC should give us a much longer window of time for the finals of the next Decathlon, or similar event with multiple entries.
