[2020] Theros: Beyond Death ranked drafts only last two weeks

Per the calendar there are zero ranked drafts in February after the 14th. This can't be right...something's off.

I thought it was some kind of bug too, but it was confirmed to be real here: https://forums.mtgarena.com/forums/threads/63112/comments/400655
They are probably substituting it with something else, but I can't imagine what could be a replacement that isn't inferior. Only if it was pod drafts, which sounds impossible this early.

Yeah, read that quote, but Lexi isn't making the schedule, right? She could be slightly in the dark here and admits more info for Feb events to come. I'm holding onto hope for Theros to go on as long as ELD.
The only thing I can imagine why not is that F2P'ers were able to collect all of ELD with several weeks left over before Theros was released. So maybe it's evaluating our collections and adjusting the draft schedule to nerf our gains.

Hi, I'm not in the dark, what I said was accurate. You will get more information next week.

We are glad you leave us in the dark, most of us doesn't even know what to expect. Quickly use most of the gold to draft, or hope for something unexpected (good)? I was saving all my gold since I started, to play a good draft session and now this. Not a good experience.

I understand your frustration with the lack of info, but unfortunately next week is when that info will be available. Sorry for the inconvenience!

@Synthsage:

I think having a short time for the draft is bad without having more information available right away. People like participating in events and hate feeling forced into it. I hate feeling rushed to get all the drafting I need in to get the cards I want for decks. Two weeks is not enough time, and it seems like a money grab to get more people paying the gem entry fee.

That is a very valid concern, and I’ll pass it along to the right people.
