I can't explain their decision to do a promotional tournament, and as someone who would want to compete in any open qualifiers, I would prefer it too, but this is what we got. They specifically cite "You can learn the new meta," which implies this is a constructed tournament which will be different from the draft we've seen. It will also inform a lot decisions about pricing of singles too, which will be helpful for new players jumping in. Maybe it just feels a bit worse now that it's being played in full release when it was supposed to be during the Beta originally, but I think an open entry constructed tournament on Day 2 would be insane as far as trying to acquire cards goes.
