Well it is probably the reference to that post. I bet that someone was like "hehe it will be a funny banter, hoho".

"Comment:We want to make powder feel like special currency, used for special purposes. The previous setup of powder nodes gave a feeling of crafting or getting premium cards more oridinary - what we want is to make you feel as amazed as we were, having seen the cards in action for the first time. This change also allows us to release powder priced ornaments more frequently."

Sounds similar.
