I consider it bad value for me (because I own the majority of the rares and about half the mythics), but I might buy it anyway before the end of the week (but only because I have a stash of 3.5k crystals... if I had 600, there's no way I'd buy it). For a new player, I find that call even harder. It's tough for me to judge the worth of a dual PW, since their worth to me is connected to the OP cards I own which new players likely don't, like Deploy the Gatewatch or Startled Awake. I'd guess that Kiora would be a boon to literally anyone, as would Saheeli, purely from her high mana gains; Ajani, Nahiri, Arlinn, Dovin, or Sarkhan, tho, really depend on the cards you already own. (Also: Don't get Sorin. Also: Ob can have the power of a dual PW, but you really need at least 2 out of Ruinous Path, To The Slaughter, and Grip of Desolation before he starts to sing). The boosters will certainly contain more new cards for a newbie than for me: possibly some new playable uncommons, probably a few rares, and maybe, a mythic, but the chances of getting 0 mythics from the pack are probably not far above 50%. TL;DR dunno.... but I thought I'd rabbit on for a bit anyway in case it helped.
