Anyone know if we are still getting intro decks tomorrow? that would be a huge change they failed to address.

Decks are delayed until the release on the 24th, unfortunately.

Maybe someone from WotC can answer this. Is the Brawl Event 60 or 100 cards? Just want to get ready. I would hope for 100, but if 60 is somehow the default and the update is needed for 100 I would like to work on it now.

Historic Brawl is 100 cards (counting the commander).

Pretty weird that the precon decks are 'delayed' though.. As they are already in the game for new players.

Why are these being kept away from existing players?

I can't see how these decks have anything to do with the upcoming delayed releases.. but ok.

It's the process of running the granting for the existing players that creates problems here.

For clarification is the Historic brawl event, 60 or 100 cards? u/wotc_jay

100-cards. From here on out, if we say "Historic Brawl" and don't qualify otherwise, it will mean 100-card.

Though the season won't end until August 24, we're also standing by our decision that the first 500 players to reach Mythic by 7:00 a.m. PT on August 10 will receive invitations to participate in the October 9–10 Qualifier Weekend

Does anyone have clarification on what "first 500 players" means? I thought the deal before was the top 500 by tomorrow, but first 500 implies it's the earliest. I feel like the player base is huge and that there have to be 500 people at Mythic by now, so have I already missed my window? Is it worth grinding drafts?

The "Early August" season will award entries to the top 500 Mythic players, while the "Late August" season will award entries to the top 1,200 players as usual.

Apologies for the ping, but /u/WotC_Jay would you be able to clarify if your statement here is different from the one from the State of the Game above? Or are there so few people at Mythic that they're functionally the same?

It's "first", not "top" in this case. I don't what current data looks like, but by this point in a month we usually don't have 500 Mythics in draft yet.

We don't love using "first" here, but, because of the way our Mythic leaderboard works and updates, we can only get a totally accurate list of "top" after a season has completed and there are no more matches happening. So, as a one off here, we're using "first" because we need to pull a well-ordered list mid-season.

Sorry if I am missing something here, but am I understanding the wording correctly that the 'first' 500 people that GOT INTO mythic will be the people selected for this early selection? I got into Mythic very early this season entering at rank 38 or something but am bouncing around 350-450 currently. Do I need to maintain below 500 still or am I ok to not worry as either I was one of the first 500 people in or not and me playing now won't affect that?

You are understanding correctly. Selection for this will be based on when you entered Mythic, not your current numeric placement.
