I just wasted 200 MP trying to complete the set of animated Reaver Hunters by transmuting 2 variations of the card. It gives you the animated version of the first variation instead of the variation you were transmuting. In other words, transmuting a set would give 3x the same animated card instead of 3 unique ones.

I was wondering why I kept seeing the same premium Shieldmaiden... Even though I had 2 copies of it and didn't see another
The first time this happened to me I thought I was just tired or something. Can definitely confirm I crafted the right copy the second time... still got the wrong one. Oh well, -400 MP for me...
Same
It's also bugged in the card selection part of keg opening. It tells you you own zero copies even if you already own the other variants.
Is that actually a bug though - technically you have zero copies of that variant... seen a few posts asking for a QoL change for counting alt art picks in kegs.
Thats lame
I love the art but I can't help but feel that what they did with nekkers makes the game much easier for a variety of reasons.
I wasted 300 on Reaver Hunters... I better fucking get the correct ones after a bug fix,

(Or just use it on one and always mulligan the others). That's how you do it.
That's how you do it... Until you don't draw the animated one, keep more than one in hand, or place more than one on the board. No, if you spend MP on a specific card you should get the premium version of that specific card, simple as that. This is especially true for MP since it is a gold currency (can be bought with $).
Well obviously, it was after all a joke. The problem in question is a bug that reduces the value of spending real money in the game, any developer would be keen on fixing it, and cdpr are as a rule especially responsive.
I was thinking of blowing my 550 meteor on 2 Queenguard. Glad I waited.
Probably unrelated, but why does the game still offers the 'transmute' option when looking at a premium card ?
Will it create an even more awesome animated version ?
Anybody already received an answear from support in that matter?
Yeah, at this point I'm just hoping that I'll find the ones I'm missing in kegs.
I have multiple premiums of some alt art that seemed to fold to the same ones too, so direct from kegs appears to follow same track, I imagine there might not even be a way to sort that out, ohwells

Yeah, it si clearly bug, you could get also just this one version from kegs. Thought I prefer same pictures, because they make deckbuilder less clunky.
Maybe this is the reason why I got 9 same copies of first variation premium QG by opening 300kegs.
Why on earth would u spend it on anything other than Golds or Silvers anyway? My first upgrades are the premium leaders before anything else.
Some of the bronzes look awesome to be fair. Full set of premium shieldmaidens is really cool. And if you play QG they will spend more time on the board than any other card in your deck.
My reasoning is that getting a Premium Leader, as far as I know is impossible other than upgrading a normal one. I have a good amount of premium Bronze cards just from opening kegs. It would suck to craft a bunch of premium Bronzes just to get them in a keg a few days later.
It's not, you can craft them with scraps if you want to. It's right next to the transmute button just like every other card. I'm with you in that I'm planning on transmuting at least 1 leader of each faction first, but after that I might take a break to do some cool looking staple bronzes and silvers.
Pretty much what u/putting_stuff_off said. Premium cards look badass, especially sets of them. Because bronzes are cheaper you can have a lot more of them. So for me it's simply a case of more = better. As a bonus, you can Operator a bronze and share the eye candy with your opponent lol.
Well, the name of the deck is "Queensguard", so I wanted to get my first premiums to be the namesake.
But anyway, the reason you are getting downvoted, I assume, is because you say it like it was an objective thing (like "RNR is better than Geralt!"), while it is actually completely subjective. People should just choose what they think is prettier.
Personally I happened to get a bunch of premium wild hunt units in my initial keg openings so I wanted to finish the trio. Pretty understandable tbh
Why on Earth would you spend it at all, you ask...
It's like with caps in Fallout - got a catch'em all.
Premium vicovaro medics though, so damned beautiful.
Yeah, same thing happened to me. Got 2 same copies of Queensguard
By kegs I have a full set of premium QGs. All the same copy.
Yep, seems to happen with all alt art premiums.
I did report the issue through customer support and asked if they could remove the animated cards and refund the MP. Hopefully they can sort it out.
The concept of MP and animated cards is really cool. But I've wasted 300 MP total now (tutorial forced First Light + 2x Reaver Hunter dupe). This combined with the fact that MP replaced quite a bit of what would be ore/scraps gain has turned it into a bit of a letdown for me.
I had the exact same issue with Wild Hunt Riders, even posted in the bug thread AND submitted a support ticket with no response yet. Feels bad to be down 200 powder for that
