Force of Will (EMA)

We Paid: 24,714

Sweepstakes Points: 87,300



Total Payout: 83,750

Total Sweepstakes Incoming Points: 373,900

Total Net: 290,150

We've destroyed 250,000 points for November

Let's be honest: This number is not good. We spent about the same amount of points as last month and netted 200,000 less. My first instinct would be that maybe the card choices were bad; however, we did a Force of Will both months and the Force in November did worse than the one in October. This means that there are other contributing factors. It could be the time of year—maybe during the holidays, less people are engaged on the site. It could also be the format—maybe we could benefit from having a sweepstakes with a smaller entry cost.

I'm not the kind of person to freak out at the first sign of trouble, so it's going to be business as usual for December. We'll look at the data and maybe try a different sweepstakes format if necessary. In the end, the data will tell us how to proceed—we just need more of it. Until then, here's what we have on tap for December:

2x Aether Vial (Modern Masters)

2x Grove of the Burnwillows (FOIL FTV)

Black Knight (Beta)

Scalding Tarn

Force of Will (FOIL Invocation)
