A big thing is will they refund 3 wildcards for a card they restrict? Like, for example if we craft ragavan and they decide it is too good so they restrict it, will we get 3 wildcards back?

Edit: From the article:

Cards on the restricted list will be limited to only a single copy in the combined main deck and sideboard. When a card is added to the restricted list and is no longer legal in any other format, players will receive wildcards for each copy of the card in their collection greater than one. For example, if a player owns four copies of a card that is added to the restricted list, the player will receive three wildcards for that change.

There will not be wildcard reimbursement for the three card restrictions made with the launch of Timeless.

Yes, that's exactly how things will work

I hope The One Ring and Bowmasters are considered paper cards and we will get unnerfed versions.

Yup, anything with a printed version will use that original version, so The One Ring, Bowmasters, Minsc & Boo, etc.

What about sets from Arena beta? Are they going to be included in timeless?

The full AER, KLD, AKH, and HOU cards are no longer in the game, and have not been maintained or QA'ed. They might come one day, but will not be around at launch

So wait, are the Fetchlands also banned in Historic Brawl or just regular Historic? I assume just regular Historic but I've seen Historic Brawl included under the "Historic" umbrella before. As annoying as Fetches are, I have a few 3 color decks like Isshin that desperately need better mana.

As for Timeless, I probably won't buy in as I suspect that within less than a week there will be some unbeatable tier 0 turn 2 instant win combo deck discovered, but it's cool to have the format available. I think I got my fill of the no bans format but my interest might grow as more cards are added to Arena and more deck options open up. Wish it didn't include Alchemy though.

Fetchlands will be legal in Historic Brawl. Calling it "Historic" Brawl has always been a bit off, since cards like Bolt, Ragavan, etc. are legal there too. Clarifying the naming there is on our list.

I realize I'm the 80th person to ask this today, but due to the recent unban in Pioneer this morning, is there any possibility of fast-tracking Smuggler's Copter onto the platform? It's a big gap between digital/paper that makes playing Explorer online much less attractive. Appreciate it.

No plans to announce there, but we're aware of the gap and actively discussing the best way to close it

Will timeless dragon be historic legal? u/wotc_jay

Yes, it will. A little off-target for the joke here, but it should be fine in Historic
