MKM packs for April season rewards? Seems like a typo…
Good catch; that is a typo. Season rewards for April will be Outlaws of Thunder Junction packs
Edit: The article is now corrected here
Are there any plans to revamp or at least tweak the Brawl matchmaking in response to all these new cards?
I ask because with the current deluge of powerful cards, and Modern Horizons 3 at the... uhh, horizon, the ability for janky and mid-tier decks to compete is rapidly diminishing. It would be a shame for the format to turn fully competitive when its main strength is its sheer diversity.
We're actively discussing this. The goal for Brawl matchmaking is to let players come in with whatever kind of deck they like (including janky & mid-tier nonsense) and give them a fun and fair match. We have tools we've talked about a bit here for Commanders, and we will continue to monitor how the composition of the 99 are impacting things there.
Do these become legal in historic brawl?
It will be legal in Brawl, yes
How do we know that Mystic comes to Arena? Or do all special guests cards come to Arena now?
All the Special Guests are coming to Arena with OTJ, and all of OTP and BIG as well.
Edit to clarify a bit further: OTJ limited packs on Arena will match tabletop. Store packs will include cards from OTJ, OTP, and BIG. We'll be providing full details soon.
u/WotC_Jay why is there no second Arena Open for MKM? 2 months for the next one is awfully long time..
We love running Opens, and we love that players are excited for them. But they do require a good bit of behind-the-scenes work to run and coordinate, which limits how many we can run each year. We've been steadily raising this count, and now we're up to around 10 per year, but that does mean there will be some months without an Open.
Do you know if they’re been disbursed yet? Haven’t received mine. Thanks!
Inbox messages should have gone out, yes. If you didn't get one, contact CS.
I didn't realize Wrenn identifies as a woman. Cool.
Phage is a woman, right? She's absent. Not cool...
Phage, like JtMS, was a reward from an Arena Decathlon. They won't show up for sale like this.
This problem appears to be affecting only a small number of players. We are looking into it and trying to understand what's happening, but I don't have an ETA for a fix currently.
I bought the alchemy bundle (on steam) with 15,000 gold yesterday. I got neither packs nor golden pack progress. And nothing in my inbox. I tried restart the game and played some new games. Nothing works! It seems that you guys didn't fix the bug!
You’re experiencing something different than that bug. Please contact customer support and they can help you out.
Will you refund gems to all of us who were in the middle of a draft?
Inbox messages with reimbursements should be going out soon to anyone who got interrupted in the middle of drafting
the game kicked me out and didnt let me log in - Error code 1
I restarted my router and I was able to log in again.
Maybe it helps
Thanks for the info! This one was a DB upgrade on our side that created some unexpected problems. It shouldn't need any action from players to fix; I think your timing just lined up right
Hey, sorry about this. We're experiencing an unexpected outage of our login systems. We're working to address, and expect things to be back up soon
Edit: Looks like it's fixed now. Please feel free to resume ignoring work/school to focus on Magic
Are you playing through Epic? We've seen a couple of examples of this through there. Making sure the game updates should fix this.
Nope, this was something different, not platform-specific. Should be fixed now, though!
Any timeframe on when we will get access to the bundle?
Working on it now. The thing that should have worked to fix it didn't, so we're digging deeper. No current ETA, but we're trying to get it back up soon
Yup! We just discovered that as well. We've temporarily disabled that bundle while we fix it, and we'll be automatically granting your missing Golden Packs soon, so keep an eye on your inbox
Edit: Bundle is back, Golden Packs progress confirmed. We'll be getting missing rewards out to players via Inbox.
Edit 2: The inbox messages have been sent out now, so everyone should have their missing Golden Packs restored
Great to see a lot of events available for this month. So thanks WotC for all of those.
If u/WotC_Jay or one of the other members of WotC see this .How will the Mkm Alchemy Draft Packs work? Will they be the normal Play boosters with a common replaced with an Alchemy Card? As this will be the first Alchemy set since Play boosters were introduced.
For MKM Alchemy, we're just adding the Alchemy cards in as a new slot, rather than replacing anything. So the boosters for the Alchemy draft will have 14 cards, rather than the 13 in normal MKM draft.
Play Boosters are new, so we may need to play around with a couple approaches before we find what we think works best here. So no guarantees that's how it will stay for OTJ, but that's the MKM plan.
Given the clear data pattern that MWM events that don't require having a particular deck tend to get more participation, isn't it possible to interpret the MOMIR data as there is low barrier to entry so people will play the event to get rewards in spite of not actually enjoying the event? Is it possible that in such a case that engagement may not be the best measure of the success or enjoyment of an event? Support of the hypotheses that people are playing for the rewards could come from examining whether or not people continue competing for wins past their 3rd win, or examining polls of whether people had fun this match. Lower probabilities of enjoyed given win and low probability of fun given loss would be an interesting comparison to other events if you haven't already looked at that.
Thanks for participating in the forum and giving us insight into the decision making process!
As you bring up, there are a variety of ways to measure the "goodness" of a MWM event format. Allowing more players to play is one way to do that, and Momir excels there. Behaviors like playing past rewarded wins (indicating enjoyment) are also good, and that tends to come from events that require unique deckbuilding constraints (that also get much lower participation).
Basically, different formats drive different types of positive experiences, and that's why MWM offers a variety
Do you have data on why that is? I imagine it's pretty hard to measure, but it would be interesting to know.
My leading theory is that it's because it's the only game mode that can be played well without thinking about anything, just hitting buttons and hoping for good rng, and that makes it "relaxing" compared to the rest of the game, but maybe there's something I'm missing.
Data is, in general, pretty clear on "what" and pretty quiet on "why". There is a clear pattern that modes that don't require having a particular deck (Momir, precon, even limited) tend to get more participation. Which makes sense, when you think about it.
Thanks for the morning chuckle. Also, you're in good company. Momir is consistently one of our most-played MWM formats (which is part of why we keep running it).
