I'm leaning towards just buying Magic and just forgetting about these bingo cards.

This event is a bit of a game changer. For the first time an event interferes with (my) regular game play.

I need Rift breeding for another purpose than to breed a specific Dragon that I am going to lose again. And then: quite a few times I wasn't able to breed that Dragon after all and I ended up spending Gems to fulfill the requirement. Just buying the Magic, as some point in the future, will be a lot less stressful, leave my Rift breedings available for the Purple Purpose and keep my Gems for another day. Any Magic accidently collected is just that: an accident.

The one thing that bothers me is a remark made by Gkrous the other day. Buying Magic is rather like buying a lottery ticket. We're not sure we're going to get a desired prize anymore. And while I agree that this has always been a game of chance, this feels ...different... I'm not sure I am comfortable with this. I have spent money in the game (almost always) without any second thought, for I have found it rather entertaining for quite a while already. But between supporting BackFlip and participating in a lottery there's a line I may not want to cross (too often).
