Thanks for everything, Chris. We will miss you. <3

Hey everyone,

While it is incredibly hard to announce this, I wanted to let everyone know that as of today I have parted ways with Wizards of the Coast. This was a personal decision and was only made possible by knowing that I’m leaving this game in the incredibly capable hands of a team that I respect and cherish will all my heart.

I'd like to take a moment to thank the MTG Arena community and the Magic community as a whole for letting me be a part of it these past three years. Being the Game Director on MTG Arena and seeing it blossom thanks to the wonderful development team, my fellow Wizards, and the passion of all of you has been one of the highlights of my career. While time has come for me to move on, I hope to be a part of the community for a long time to come.

I wish you all the best, and can't wait to see what MTG Arena's new Game Director Jay Parker will bring to the game.

Hey all! Very sorry indeed for this nasty sound issue. I completely understand the frustration. I have raised the flag on this one, hopefully we can get something fixed asap.

We want to be on other platforms, but for now, we're focusing on PC. We don't have a time estimate for other platforms.

Important: For those that qualified, you HAVE to join the event from 6am PT (13:00 UTC) to 7am PT (14:00 UTC). If you don't, you won't be able to participate.

You can find more information here, specifically the ...

I have a Commander deck that is basically all enchantments... The only creatures I put in are walls haha. Does it win? Nah. Is it hilarious? Yes. I have another deck that has creatures, but I literally never attack with them. They just sit and do damage passively.

Tl;dr you need creatures, but don't need to attack with them.

Bug Fixes

• Chandra, Fire Artisan's first ability should now deal the correct amount of damage when she is dealt combat damage.

Known IssueS

• "Asset Error Detected" - Players who have their Windows display language set to Turkish may encounter an "Asset Error Detected" warning that was forcibly exits the game.
  • Work Around: Change your Windows display language to "English" and relaunch Magic: The Gathering Arena....

Flattered! Thanks so much for the kind words!

We will be performing scheduled maintenance on May 24th, 2019 at 6AM PT (13:00 UTC) to deploy a hotfix for the 0.15.00.00 game update. Maintenance is expected to last approximately 90 minutes.

Players will be unable to join matches during this time. Matchmaking will be re-enabled once maintenance is complete. Players will not need to download any additional updates as part of this maintenance.

We apologize for any inconvenience. Patch notes will be available once maintenance is complete.

Developers are looking into a fix for this issue. So far, it appears to be impacting specifically Turkish language users, and several have found that switching their Windows language to English allowed them to work around this problem in the meantime. (One person mentioned they switched to English, downloaded all game assets, then switched back to Turkish and could keep playing without issue.)

@WotC_Lexie:

I do! It is already sticked in the News & Announcements.

If you have the power to sticky threads, I think stickying this thread in general is also a good idea. It's nice that it's stickied in the news section, but the effect is less noticeable since only admins can post in that forum anyway. In here, with as many threads getting updated multiple times every hour, since this is an official WOTC event and highlighting it is justified, I think you should sticky this thread here in this forum to promote it.
A little secondary to this is dropping the March SOTB thread and letting it sink. It's a bit outdated now and more people are interested in discussing what's coming next for MTGA. In addition, all of the SOTB threads are duplicated and archived in the news forum so they could always reference it there if they needed that information for whatever reason.
I think a ...

Thank you! I will pass along the feedback. :relaxed:

@Jengas:

Do you have the power to sticky threads? it's a good way for important information to maintain visibility.

I do! It is already sticked in the News & Announcements.

Heads up, I'm going to close this thread so it sinks, because I want the actual MCQW info to be visible. Thanks for the feedback, everyone!

If you're qualified for this weekend, all of this information is VERY important. Click the PDF button at the top to see more info on Day 2.

If you think you should have been qualified but don't see the qualifier badge, PLEASE REACH OUT TO OUR SUPPORT TEAM IMMEDIATELY.
