EDIT: It's now 12:00am UTC and the Daily Deals have been completely removed from the store; first time something like that has ever happened... very odd bug.
Happy Stonks Day! It’s been 34 days (give or take a few hours 😉) since gold was last in the shop. As many of you have no doubt noticed, the gold deal and seven of the card styles showed up early at 12:00am UTC instead of the usual 3:00pm UTC. Make sure you grab the deals you want before they expire in nine instead of 24 hours!
For the past few weeks it seems like this has been a common occurrence in the Daily Deals where on some days a few new deals will show up after the fact at 12:00am UTC. As everything with today’s deal was released early, it will be interesting to see what happens at 12:00am UTC. Perhaps u/WotC_Jay could please kindly clarify if this is intended behavior with the Daily Deals moving forward or if something else is afoot and if it’s being looked at.
As the question comes up a lot on stonk day, the general rule with gems and gold offered in the daily deal is to always buy them with gold. The value of gems and gold is usually determined by packs (1000 gold vs 200 gems, a 5:1 ratio) or drafts (5000 gold vs 750 gems, a 6.67:1 ratio).
So for today’s deal you can spend either 10 gems or 50 gold. If you are a drafter, spending gems is a bad deal. If you buy packs, it is exactly even. But despite it being even, gems are harder to acquire and some items like the Mastery Pass and special events require them, so you should save your gems and spend gold instead.

Timing of the deal transitions yesterday was a bug, not intended. Deals are still supposed to transition at 8am PT, but some bad data has made some roll over at midnight UTC
Ah, gotcha. I appreciate the explanation, thank you!!
Deals are up at 8am PT today (and QuickDraft is back), as intended. Bolas is in the Meditation Realm; all's right with the world.
