/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. :)

2 sets - The "early August" season has different style rewards than "late August"

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

That’s coming with this release

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

Yup; we're interested to watch how perpetual plays out here. We think it can be fun and fair, barring a few cards, but if we learn otherwise we'll change our plans.

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.

Not dead. Still something we want to do, but not something we have the bandwidth to put on a schedule currently. We're working to fix that, but with no clear timeline we felt it right to communicate that it was paused. We talk often about how to make this work (it's come up for me multiple times this week, for example).

They should just errata perpetual to not stick on commanders.

This was discussed, and if we see more problems than we expect it's on the table. But there's also a lot of fun to be had via perpetual buffing of commanders, and some fair-play debuffing too. We want to see how that goes first.

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)

A note on setcodes here: Reprints from Modern Horizons 1 are MH1, Modern Horizons 2 are MH2, reprints that were already on Arena use that set code, and the new, digital-only cards and other reprints (that weren't already on Arena) use J21.

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

If you earn more styles than the event has left to give, it will not replace them, and you would get only the gold reward from that point on. This dungeon only contains so much loot.

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.

Any reprint in Jumpstart: Historic Horizons that was already on Arena is using a version already on Arena.

There's a breakdown at the end of this article: https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/magic-digital/what-mtg-arenas-jumpstart-historic-horizons-2021-07-26

For the total of 767 non-land cards:

What I find interesting is that nobody is picking up on the statement that the Jumpstart event is now best of 3 and not best of 1. That will add a bit more time to complete the requisite 2 wins per pack combo.

I entered the original event 62 times and then 18 more on the second event to end up at 74% complete on rares before diminishing returns stopped me from trying to finish. That was 80 x 2 = 160 Bo1 games needed to play even at a 100% win rate.

This set is smaller by about 1/3, so I will probably cap out at 52 entries, give or take, before diminishing returns again gets too steep. That would be 104 Bo3 matches. I think that is a lot more games to play. Average for Bo3 is 2.5 games so that is about 62% more games to play for the rewards even though the set is 2/3 the size.

Lucky for me, I like the format.

The best-of-three line is a goof in the article; it's getting fixed.
