🎉Welcome to the family!
🎉Welcome to the family!
Thanks for the report; we're aware and investigating. Based on our testing just now, this looks like a deckbuilder-only issue, so you should be able to submit & play with that deck. The client thinks it's invalid, but the back end knows that it isn't.
Yes... Ha ha ha... YES!
Yup! 10 new packets for SNC, including some 3-color packets will be added with the release on Thursday.
The invalid cards are nowhere to be found when editing the decks. Is it because of alchemy versions of cards or something? I’m sure could look it up but I’m really more looking to complain about how this is dumb than solve it and try to play again.
For what it's worth, I am looking to solve this. If you could take a screenshot of one or more of the affected decks and add it to this post, and optimally an export of the decklists as well, that would help us figure out what state you're in that isn't clearly displaying itself.
/u/wotc_cromulous so do we get wildcards here for cards we haven't before? leyline, kethis, breach
No. They were never legal in this format previously.
So, can I still buy a pre-order bundle say, at 7:35 AM PST? Or before 00:00 AM PST?
I would aim to buy the pre-order before 8 AM Pacific. That’s when we typically start the release process, with the new clients being available around 8:30. Glad you and your son are enjoying the game!
Does it matter where you preorder? I play on desktop but buy through Google play for the store points and haven't gotten an email about the "bonus" yet
It doesn't matter on what platform you bought the pre-order, or whether you have an email about it. If you bought the pre-order, you'll get the 5 Mythic packs (or 10 if you bought both pre-orders).
Great! It's exactly the format we wanted and expected. Taking several years to get full Pioneer is still taking too long, but I'll take what I can get for now. And I'm happy we do indeed get the new format with the new set, that was the earliest we could expect it.
One small question I have as an event grinder: What packs will be the rewards in Explorer events? It's specified for every other format, but not for Explorer.
Also, on an unrelated note: Great we can finally buy multiple packs for gold at once!
Explorer events will reward packs from sets that have rotated out from Standard and are legal in Explorer (currently this is the same as the Historic rewards, but it could change as more sets are added).
- Deck capacity increased to 100
I still think that they need to improve the deleting process for decks instead of just bumping up the max a bit. It should be possible to delete any amount of decks in a few clicks if wanted, and it would alleviate most of the problems with the deck cap.
This on our list. It’s a long list, but we’re making progress.
Yup, wish it were double for ordering both but I take freebies regardless
It is; you may have only gotten one email, but you’ll get 10 Mythic boosters if you buy both
Is the bonus for both versions of the pre-orders. I'm asking because I might buy the elspeth one.
Yes, it comes with eithe pre-order, and you’ll get 10 packs if you buy both
I'm not sure why they don't advertise this. I probably would have actually done the pre-order if they had told me it was coming with five mythic boosters too.
You still can!
I hope they're at least fairly generous in their interpretation of "all of the cards that matter". I was really disappointed when [[madcap experiment]] wasn't in kaladesh remastered, for example. That's the type of card that doesn't matter in a format until it REALLY matters.
We're going to start off by favoring competitive, meta-relevant cards (because those are more likely to matter to more people), but will work our way down over time. We don't want to stop with just "competitive staples", and we're well aware of the dangers of delivering "this moment's meta" and saying we made it.
will any sets be rotating out of jump in? or will the pool grow infinitely?
Cards (and packet themes) will be removed when they rotate out.
I haven't seen any mentions of JumpIn... does that mean it won't get an update with SNC?
Or maybe tomorrow with the announcement of Pioneer-lite (?) will be created a new JumpIn-PLite event to allow new players to create a minimal collection of old cards for the new format? (I know... but... let me dream...)
Jump In will be updated with SNC; we add a new set of packets with each new frontlist set.
Sad.
Imagine me on the shoreline waving goodbye to D&D as it sails away......
I hope Alchemy Horizons: Baldur's Gate will help scratch that itch! #wotc_staff

It is the unfortunate fate of all last-of-the-rotational-year sets that their time with us is so short. Let us remember it fondly...
We're finishing up a Quick Draft of Zendikar Rising. On the schedule we have Quick Drafts of Kaldheim and Strixhaven: School of Magic. But the next non-Capenna set scheduled isn't Dungeons & Dragons: Adventures in the Forgotten Realms. Instead, it's Innistrad: Midnight Hunt, ending July 8.
My concern is whether this leaves enough time for one last Quick Draft of Dungeons & Dragons: Adventures in the Forgotten Realms before Rotation hits. Or has that ship now sailed?
That won't be happening, I'm afraid. Once it gets close enough to rotation, we stop running Quick Drafts of the sets that are about to rotate out, so we are skipping AFR and going straight to the sets that will remain in Standard and Alchemy after the fall.
Do the alchemy versions have standard cards as well or exclusively alchemy cards?

"Each Alchemy booster contains Uncommon, Rare, and Mythic Rare cards from the Alchemy set and Common cards from the related base set. Once you have collected a playset of all of the Rare cards in the Alchemy set, the Rare slot will pull from your uncollected Rares from the base set. The same is also true for Mythic Rares."
