When I buy MTG cards, I don't expect to get a full playset on Day 1 without opening a huge number of packs or waiting until some resellers have them in stock. When I buy Hearthstone cards, I don't expect to get a full playset without opening a huge amount of packs due to the high number of expensive Legendaries and poor sell-to-buy ratio. (I don't ever expect to get a playset, in fact.) When I used to play Lord of the Rings Online TCG, I used to spend hours in the trading lobby seeking out cards I needed and never did complete any playsets over the course of a few years.
See how things look in 24 hours or when it's out on all platforms. Merchant stock levels will progressively improve as more cards get into the system from opening packs. In the mean time, there are some decent commons that you could be using in existing decks, right?
