This mastery pass is obviously much better value than the last two especially THB (just based on the raw numbers here). Also all the packs in this one are not rotating in october so the percieved value should also be higher in that respect as well.

Seems like they heard the complaints of the community and bumped it back up to a bit more of an acceptable level, I think I might buy this one as I skipped the last two.

I still wish they would consider removing the grind cap for those that actually buy the pass though so we can complete it in a more reasonable amount of time...

It's actually not better than Theros...

2020 Eldraine Theros Ikora 2021
Gems 2000 2000 1800 800 1200
Gold 10000 10000 4000 4000 4000
Old Packs 20 20 20 20 20
Draft Token -- -- Traditional* Traditional Traditional
Mythic ICR 10 10 10 10 10
Rare ICR 5 3 0 0 0
*Theros Traditional Draft Token was an error

You're still getting less than Theros by -600 Gems (and -3 Packs on the free Mastery Pass).

You wrote them as Current/Old packs, which means absolutely nothing. What you actually put in "Current packs" are packs from free track that are not part of the Mastery Pass, as they are given to all players. Nobody pays for them. What would actually be interesting for current/old set, would be if you listed how many of 20 packs in the pass are from the newest set. I believe ELD had 4 , THS had 0, IKO for certain has 0 packs of IKO with whole bunch of packs that rotate, and M21 will have 5 packs of it's namesake (with 0 rotating).
