MIXED-UP PHANTOM SEALED EVENT OCTOBER 1–3

The April Fools thing is back...but for 750 gems / 5000 gold, and you can freely get new pools for the whole weekend.

Yay for Mixed-Up Sealed, but that system seems pretty bad compared to last time. Not only is it much more expensive but there is no incentive against constantly get new pools until you get something wild. Might make it pretty bomby.

October 28–November 5: Dominaria United Sealed

An encore? Possibly Alchemy Sealed, since the first mention of the Alchemy draft queue didn't mention it was Alchemy.

October 13–21: Planeshifted Draft: Streets of New Capenna

New Draft type! Maybe something semi-silly in the vein of the old Turbo and Omniscient Drafts?

October 28–November 5: Dominaria United Sealed

An encore? Possibly Alchemy Sealed, since the first mention of the Alchemy draft queue didn't mention it was Alchemy.

This will actually be original Dominaria. We'll correct the text.

Hey are there rewards for the phantom sealed? Seems odd to charge 5k gold for a phantom event as is

A little XP, but no currency or cards. It's an opportunity to kick back and jam mixed-up decks for the whole weekend, not really a grindable mode. (To be clear since some folks aren't sure: you only have to enter the Open or pay the Sealed entry fee one time. After that, you'll keep getting back a token that you can use to re-enter the event as often as you want.)

Why even have the price? Like I feel bad for missing the xp now on an already tight rewards track, but I can’t justify throwing 5 packs away either

It is not so much XP that you will be worried about missing it. It's more like just a checkbox for each deck. If you don't feel the play experience is worth the fee (and aren't skipping the fee by playing in the Open), I'd definitely recommend sticking to your usual play modes.
