In the Profile tab, there's a new button "Pet Select" in the lower right corner, next to the "Change Avatar" button.

You can turn it on and off there.

Muting the opponent’s emotes will mute the cat as well

Tbh I was a bit confused by the update post, it seemed like there would be the permanent current set, and the rotating one would still sometimes feature the current set? I.e. two different queues to play bo1 current set draft. Could you please clarify or point me to an explanation?

On July 19, Ranked Draft Core Set 2020 will begin. It will be up through the fall set release.

On August 2, a second slot of Ranked Draft will begin, which will change on a 2-week cadence among previous sets (GRN forward, due to rotation approaching.)

Only 36 packs... If it's 12 weeks until the next set, then that would be equivalent with the current system. If it's at least 13 weeks until the next set, that's fewer packs than the 3-a-week would have resulted in.

edited: 3-packs a week = 156 total per year. Whereas assuming they continue with the mastery system for each set, at 36 packs per set, that's 144 pack per year.

edited part 2: If they vary the number of free packs to match weeks between sets then it could end up being equivalent with the current system. And given they keep tinkering with the reward systems, it could very well have changed by this time next year.

The number of packs available will shift with the duration of sets. It’s one of our goals to not reduce F2P earn with this system; we’ll adjust as needed to make sure we hit that.

I know you won't come back to see this comment. But I gotta say I love this idea. While the newest set is usually the one I want to open packs for and play with the most, I like being able to go back to some of my favorite limited sets once every few weeks

But I did! And I'm glad you're a fan! :)

Those events begin on those days and will continue until the fall set releases.

We're trying something new with Ranked Draft with Core Set 2020. After it's had two weeks alone to shine, we'll continue running it but also offer a second draft on a rotating 2-week cadence.

What’s annoying is that it’s not an alt art, it’s a completely different card. You can only have one copy and cannot apply the style to your other copies.

Yeah, that bugs us too. Early versions of alt art had to be extra cards, not styles, because we didn’t have the tech yet. Now we’d kind of like to swap them over to styles, so everything’s consistent, but we run the risk of people getting upset about us changing things they have in their collection.

I tried that. Currently contacting wotc but attaching this video, I keep getting an error saying "Upload failed. Connection timed out" when it is uploaded about 60%

Heard from an internal thread that you did get the card eventually; that accurate?

Sorry Jay but i'm still rather confused.

Are they're going to be removed from both the store and collection page?

Or

It is going to be removed from the store but you can still purchase them through the collection?

LeeSharpe: "When Magic 2020 releases, all of the stained glass planeswalker styles available from the events or the store will now be available for purchase through the collection"

The ability to purchase them (wherever they show up) will be limited in time. We’ll leave them available for a bit so players can grab any that they missed, then pull them down so there’s some exclusivity to getting them.

Sorry for any confusion; that’s the same thing I’m saying: they’re going to be available in the store for a limited time, and after that we don’t have plans to bring them back.

Is there a June State of the Beta coming sometime? I thought it would be last week.

Next week; they’re always a few days before the release, which is on July 2nd for M20.

We don’t have any plans to bring them back. I’m not saying we never will, plans might change, but If you really like them I’d get them while they’re here now.

We call that the “Read More” ribbon, and it shows up when a card would have more than 2 of the badges in the corners. It’s basically an indicator that the card has more keywords/abilities than we can easily show at a glance, so make sure to read it.

As others have posted, disabling Auto-Tap in the options menu gives you the behavior you’re looking for here. I agree that this is too clunky, and we’re actively talking about ways to improve it.

So i was the person asking for better Command the dreadhorde UI. Here is what i meant.

[[Command the dreadhorde]] is pretty taxing card. We are operating in 2 different zones. We need to pay close attention to our life total as well as what we already has chosen. Meanwhile, Arena doesn't make it easy. Life total is covered. We don't know what we picked from other GY. We don't know how much damage we will take currenty (ofc player count in head, but mistakes happen). The spell also autoresolves once all possible targets are chosen without confirmation.

So here is what card should do if given attention. Show current life total. Show current cumulative CMC of chosen cards. Show already picked cards on the bottom of the screen like during casting [[Planewide Celebration]] with different outlines indicating owner. Demand confirmation if total damage would exceed current life total of the caster.

EDIT: Hey, my first Sliver Medal! Thank you!

Thanks for clarifying. Those are good suggestions, and we'll see what we can do.
