This is a bug that we are working to get fixed, hopefully in time for full release

Are matchups done independently of clan?

Specifically (1) Is the matchmaking done from a common pool for all five sealed events? (2) Does the matchmaking system go out of its way to match you against someone whose pool is from a different clan (as seems to happen frequently in Arena "choose a deck" events), or are clan-mirrors allowed to happen at normal frequency?

All the different events go to the same matchmaking queue, and there are no lockouts or protections to prevent mirrors. So it will matchmake like any other sealed (mostly on your record), and your choice of clan won't affect what opposing clans you see

Click the mana from your mana pool when it's asking you to pay costs, don't click autopay.

This is the right answer - When you need to be very specific about what mana you spend, full control (or put a stop on the phase ladder) and then click the specific mana you want to pay

This is so cool!! Gets me really excited to play sealed this set!! Hopefully one clan doesn’t end up being way stronger then the rest though, that’d kinda suck

We're really excited to see how this plays out as well! This is the first time we've run a factionalized event like this on Arena, and we'll be watching carefully to see how this plays out. We've also built ourselves some safety levers we can pull if too much choice here ends up making things feel stale, like rotating which clans are available or swapping to a non-seeded event.

It happens every time I use beseech the mirror and nowhere or matzalantli or any artifact

Thanks for the report. Does it still happen? In talking about this with the Engineer, we think the build that went out of Tuesday might have fixed this.

Hey folks - yep. Something is wrong, so we've disabled the event while we investigated. Once the issue is resolved, we'll work to make sure all affected players are in a good state.

We were receiving reports of players getting stuck in a bad state, so we've temporarily disabled the event. Status updates will be posted here: https://magicthegatheringarena.statuspage.io/incidents/n8ngct0zvv32

Yeah, reddit DM works; thanks!

Hey, sorry this happened! This is certainly not intended, and we're trying to ensure the cards always stay clear of the UI. This gets tricky on mobile, because the variety of screen sizes and aspect ratios make for a lot of unique cases. What device were you playing on, so we can try to replicate this?

Can you make them available in Direct Challenge format? People won't be able to get cards anyway.

We're discussing the right ways to let them show up in the right places. It's not just a matter of which format's they're legal in, but that's a component

You can currently import decks using these cards, and they should show up properly, but deckbuilding isn't working smoothly. This is something we would like to enable for future sets, and we're discussing solutions

Comment

This is against policy, and I've never heard of it happening. I suspect your friend is joking around

Hey Jay, any news on the patch where we can use card arts on all versions of the card and not only the set specific ones?

This continues to be important to us, and it's something we're actively working towards. I don't have an ETA to give currently.

Best guess is that the events haven't been (corporately) "approved" yet. Just a guess though.

Thanks for the reassurance that they're sticking around.

Nah, that's not a thing. I'm the person that would provide final approval for the events, and they were approved a while ago.

1-The Prepatch feature is really, really cool, and I absolutely love it. Getting to work on our potential lists earlier and having them ready for release is great.

2-Why do we only have two scheduled MWM events? There haven't been any updates in a while. Is something going to happen to them? Some updates to the event, or to how they're announced?

Not sure why the schedule lists only those MWM events. Nothing scary or weird is happening to that event series in general

Good to know. Any info on the Daily Deals pack not granting Golden Pack progress?

Just responded to that thread; this is real, but unintended. We'll get an inbox message sent around soon to fix players up

Thanks for the callout! This is unintended and a mistake. We'll get an inbox message sent around to all purchasers with their missing Golden Packs progress soon.

The Arena Announcements article says it's only up for one day.

This version of Dwayne's a bit more dastardly than expected, and he should be sticking around for a couple days
