Magic The Gathering: Arena Dev Tracker

Though the season won't end until August 24, we're also standing by our decision that the first 500 players to reach Mythic by 7:00 a.m. PT on August 10 will receive invitations to participate in the October 9–10 Qualifier Weekend

Does anyone have clarification on what "first 500 players" means? I thought the deal before was the top 500 by tomorrow, but first 500 implies it's the earliest. I feel like the player base is huge and that there have to be 500 people at Mythic by now, so have I already missed my window? Is it worth grinding drafts?

The "Early August" season will award entries to the top 500 Mythic players, while the "Late August" season will award entries to the top 1,200 players as usual.

Apologies for the ping, but /u/WotC_Jay would you be able to clarify if your statement here is different from the one from the State of the Game abo...

For clarification is the Historic brawl event, 60 or 100 cards? u/wotc_jay

Pretty weird that the precon decks are 'delayed' though.. As they are already in the game for new players.

Why are these being kept away from existing players?

I can't see how these decks have anything to do with the upcoming delayed releases.. but ok.

Maybe someone from WotC can answer this. Is the Brawl Event 60 or 100 cards? Just want to get ready. I would hope for 100, but if 60 is somehow the default and the update is needed for 100 I would like to work on it now.

Anyone know if we are still getting intro decks tomorrow? that would be a huge change they failed to address.

So is the 100 card historic brawl queue coming next Thursday with the new cards? Scoured all the articles and that seems to be the implication but it doesnt seem to be spelled out anywhere. No complaints just trying to get my days straight

I dont think that's actually clear, since all the events are ending and the backend is changing it may reset the quests.

/u/WotC_Jay Hi there, thanks for the update. The article says "both seasons will have the full normal rewards" - does that mean just the boosters and gold, or the card styles too? Are there 2 different sets of 2 card styles to collect for August 10th and August 31st, or are they the same? Thanks in advance. :)

Has the new player deck grant date changed to September? as the renewal season article has the heading "Early August". But has the "Deck Grants" listed for August? Edit due to half of my post missing

Can we expect to see an errata if it is ruining the historic brawl queue?

We know that some players want a faithful recreation of tabletop Magic, and Standard, as well as Premier Draft, on MTG Arena, and we will continue to provide that.

And Pioneer in the future right?

To that end, he confirmed that they are going to ensure Standard, booster drafts, and other tabletop formats remain intact the way they are now

And Pioneer in the future right?

I just want to know if it dead for good, officially. To me, Modern will be too expensive in 5 year to be worth in MO and tabletop. Pioneer could be a alternative but maybe that is why they think is better to let it die. Just want to have the official word.

They should just errata perpetual to not stick on commanders.

For newer players: Insolate Neonate is an efficient discard outlet that has seen a ton of constructed play, despite looking like trash.

Also, the set's code is J21 (as in the url below)

What happens when you earn a style and already have enough? For example, you have 2 left and win enough to get 3 styles?

I'm more terrified what rares we will get as filler cards from other sets already in arena, but with a new symbol, so we can collect another useless 4 of. Like [[Woe Strider]] or [[Archon of Sun's Grace]] or [[Lathliss, Dragon Queen]] or all the Temples.

Really need a full list to see how many cards are new vs existing to know how much this will ultimately matter.
