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.

Comment

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

Investigating - We're receiving reports of players having issues when attempting to enter the Arena Cube Draft, and will be temporarily disabling the event as we investigate. Thank you for your patience as we work to resolve this issue.

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

Purchased the pack but didn't get golden pack progress YMMV.

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

Huh. You must have been missed somehow. Contacting customer support is right. If you have the avatar, you should have the title

Hey Folks - Thanks for the reports. The event has been disabled, and players who participated will receive reimbursement via the player inbox shortly.

We added "The Untouchable" and "The Mind Sculptor" for winners of the appropriate decathlons and "The Champion" for anyone who has won an Arena Championship.

These aren't the right things to build achievements around, but we felt they certainly deserved titles
