10 months in, still an issue :( I just lost a game i could have totally won with Slitherwisp + thieves' guild enforcer + third creature in play, opponent in 4 wipes the board, I tried destroying my 3rd creature for a draw but couldn't. turns out it was the counter I needed to win the game
Looks like this regressed (we fixed it shortly after AFR, but it snuck back in). We're working on it.
What about with the release of New Cap? Cause it's not working again
This is a bug, and we hope and expect to be delivering a fix for it soon
Players are encouraged to respond to whatever incentive you offer. If you need to play 10 instants, but don't need to win, the optimal path is not to brew a spells-matter deck (especially if it would cost wildcards). It is to make a Cantrip Tribal deck that completes the requirement quickly.
So while you will get some variation and brews you'll also get decks that are even dumber than Trickery. The current system gets around that by having Quests to push you to play different decks, but Dailies to push you to actually try and win with those decks and not just do something silly.

Yep, this is the exact problem. Players will search for the most efficient way to accrue value, even at the expense of their own (and certainly others') fun. We sometimes talk about alternative progression systems internally, but they all have their own issues. With daily wins, at least the incentive is aligned with the inherent and expected goal of a game of Magic.
That doesn't mean we'll never have another system, and we certainly won't stop thinking about it. But anything we consider would have to clear a pretty big hurdle to be better than the simplicity of "play to win the game." (And for all you memelords out there, we'd probably have to...

After doing really badly in the last set in limited, I was lucky enough to get a trophy in the new set. Didn't have a good bomb but conniving aggro was good enough to pressure most opponents, especially as many of my creatures had flying.
Congratulations! Well played. :)
Congratulations! What card surprised you most?
🎉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!
