@NovaBlast Shockwave:

Permanent mute is a great feature they can still spam but you don't have to see it

You do have the ability to disable all emotes in game.

With a new card set on the horizon, we've brought back Jay Parker, MTG Arena's new game director, to tell you more about the core features and core set coming to you July 2 with the 0.16.00.00 game update.

Introduction to Historic

"Historic" is what we're calling MTG Arena's non-rotating format. Events or play queues that are Historic will allow for players to use cards from any set currently available on MTG Arena.

Will Historic be an "official" Magic: The Gathering format?

Currently, we only plan to support Historic play on MTG Arena.

Will the Historic play be best-of-one, or best-of-three?

Both!

Outside of Play, will any other events or formats be Historic?

Currently, we intend for most of our casual events (Pauper, Singleton, Momir) to support Historic play.

Will Historic be ranked?

Historic play will not be ranked, and there are currently no plans for it to be a ranked format.

Can I play a Standard deck in the Historic queue?

Yep - as long as the card i...

Introduction to Rotation

What is "rotation"?

Which sets will be rotating out of Standard?

When the fall set releases, cards from the Ixalan, Rivals of Ixalan, Dominaria and Core Set 2019 sets will rotate out of Standard.

When will rotation happen on MTG Arena?

Rotation will happen when the fall set (code name: "Archery") releases on MTG Arena.

Does rotation mean there will be another reset on Magic: The Gathering Arena?

There are currently no plans to do another account reset on MTG Arena. Players will keep all the cards currently in their collection.

Please add a screenshot if you see this again. From your description, it sounds like you may not have had 8 or more loyalty on Nicol Bolas at the time - it has to have at least 8 loyalty to activate that ability.

It's not a bug. We change the cards new accounts get from time to time. If you've been playing awhile, you'll have cards your friend didn't get and vice versa. You can use wildcards to get the Gift Pack 2018 cards if you'd like.
