u/WotC_Jay, the image of the Alchemy preview card isn't loading, can you guys fix it?

I'm seeing it load in after a bit; are you not seeing the same?

Love the nice, clear writeup. Looks like you've done this before!
I'm passing this report on to our QA team for verification

That's odd. Not sure why that would be happening. Try going to Options -> Report Bug -> Repair Game Files and see if that fixes things. (It's odd that you have a cat's eye coming in the adjacent reward too)

They said last week they will be coming with tarkir alchemy

Yeah, this. Coming with the Tarkir Alchemy drop and will be available in store decks (and crafting, as normal)

I randomly got to play a Wizard the other day! And I won! It was so neat to see. Had to rub my eyes because I thought I was seeing things at almost 0100 Pacific.

Oh, I'm sure there are many of us on and playing at 1am. I am certainly often doing that on the weekends. Everyone else in the house being asleep makes for prime drafting time

Comment

The "of the Coast" title is indeed a new thing that we've handed out to Wizards employees. I'm not sure why Purvis isn't Mythic Orange, though.

Glad you got to play a Wizard, but sorry they got a hand that nasty against you!

(I played all 5 clans in Sealed this weekend, and I can promise that our luck is not consistently that good)

If there's no style, setting the older version as default works like you said. When a style is set as default, it tries to add the newest printing it can be applied to and I can't see any way to also set the default printing.

Ah, got it! Thanks for the clarification (and sorry for the annoyance)

I had the same issue with [[Cauldron Familiar]]. I personally find the JMP common set symbol extremely ugly while the ELD uncommon set symbol looks nice. If I have to use the JMP version of a card, seeing that set symbol annoys me every time I look at it, to the point I'd consider not using a style if that's necessary. Fortunately, I think I managed to make that one work by manually adding ELD copies with no style and then applying the style, but favoriting the style would add JMP copies instead since it's newer.

That reminds me of a related problem, which is that I often have 4 copies of an older version of a card but 1-3 copies of a newer version. If the favorited style applies to both, the game adds as many copies of the new version as I have before filling in the rest with the old version, so if I want them all the same, I have to remove all the new copies and increase the quantity of the old copies to 4.

Thanks for the background! For that related problem, if you click the little heart on the older version, that will set it as the preferred version and it should use that one by default

I'd be curious to see the split between Brawl and Standard Brawl. With the vast majority of players playing Standard and Limited, I'd expect Standard Brawl to have a much lower barrier to entry.

"Brawl" on the chart includes both. It's ~90% (Historic) Brawl and about 10% Standard Brawl

Could not be happier to see this coming.

This may seem niche, but I specifically hope they fix this very particular bug where older cardstyles get applied with newer set symbols. You can see what I'm talking about here. I owned the Guilds of Ravnica Healer's Hawk cardstyle long before Foundations came out. But I am unable to use it without the FDN logo overwriting the GRN logo. (also the picker behaviour is mildly broken in general, as you can see).

In some cases, like this special ZNR treatment, I can't even use my cardstyle at all: https://imgur.com/exIF77H

Hey! We've debated internally about what the best answer here is. Sounds like you want to have the Depth Art with the GRN set symbol, not the FDN one? Any particular reason? Just because you like it better? (Understanding reasons/why helps us build better solutions)

Is this only for this set or is this a new thing of releasing commander content with the alchemy releases for future sets too?

We generally like to release new content as quickly as we can. In this case there was a holdup, and that kind of thing might happen again, but we don't expect it to happen generally

Comment

New pass is up as of 9am Pacific time. You may need to restart your client to see it properly

Yup! This is exactly right. Commander content will be releasing alongside the Alchemy drop in a few weeks. Once it does, all 10 commanders will be both craftable and available in some Brawl decks in the store

Comment

It unlocked at 9am. You may need to restart your client to see it properly

Comment

So,
A) That's hilarious
B) I'm really sorry we did that to you

I'm talking with the team now about ways we can improve this UX to cover this case. In the meantime, please Mossborn responsibly.

Comment

It will release any minute now. Timing will vary a bit by platform, but it should be available everywhere in an hour or so

Awesome! Could you confirm if the trigger is a 7-0 record for your first 7 games played, or just any 7 win streak?

It should be (at least) 7 wins and 0 losses, so any loss does ruin the run
(We're planning to update the text to better convey this too)

Comment

So, this was unexpected and unintended, and we thought at first we should fix it. But, as we talked more about that, we decided it felt too fun-police.

You know what, This Is Fine. If you can go 7-0 in Midweek Magic, that's still worth an achievement. Have fun

Heh. Came here to say this (or, at least, that's what it looked like from our data - your long-standing account looked fine, and it didn't log in yesterday)

This is a bug that we are working to get fixed, hopefully in time for full release
