WotC: Do the right thing - give all players the 10 NPE decks

I don't know who decided to only give half the decks to each player, but if anyone at WotC cares, they should really allow the rest of the NPE decks to be unlocked for all players.

Think about it this way:

• Giving new players more decks gives them more reasons to get excited about magic and more likely to keep playing the game if they discover a fun deck they enjoy (like dinos or merfolk... oh wait too bad you can't get dinos and merfolk only one of them)
• Each new deck contains only a handful of new rare cards so it should really have a tiny effect on the economy
• Players that don't get decks they were excited about feel cheated. They don't get to try out a deck that other players got to try out due to pure chance. This is a terrible experience.

I'm hoping WotC is figuring this out right now and working on extending the new player questline. It felt much better to go through the initial questline in closed beta than in open beta - and that just shouldn't happen.
