Scheduled - @MTG_Arena maintenance will occur to deploy a hotfix, addressing recent issues we experienced last weekend.
⏲️ Full deployment estimated at ~2 hours.
🛠️ No downtime is expected, but a restart is required.
I understand why things like FTK is being excluded from the re-run, but honestly think for cards like Lighting Bolt (that were even included in the Archives, so are part of the Arena client at this point), people would be much happier with the "original" cards, even if we can't really play them outside of Jumpstart (or friend challenge).
Is it because its too early to evaluate how the Mystical Archives approach was received or is there some other reason?
The Jumpstart versions of the cards do not exist on Arena. Lightning Bolt is the only replaced card that does now exist on Arena, and one random Mystical Archive card in the middle of the Jumpstart event is likely to raise more questions than it answers.

Investigating - We are currently experiencing an issue with Magic: The Gathering Arena and are investigating. We will update you when we have more information to share.
The event will start at 1300. The timer is just a little confused, but it's got the spirit. (We're looking into it.)
In theory, I understand this argument re: Flametongue Kavu, but in practice it doesn't make much sense since [[Goblin Commando]] from Jumpstart did get added to Arena anyway, and it has the same play pattern as Kavu.
It's a question of risk. There's basically no risk that Goblin Commando will see significant play outside of the Jumpstart event. Flametongue is a better card and carries more risk, and we chose the path of caution. Suffice it to say, we are exploring other paths going forward - again, in part because of what we saw during Jumpstart.
Yup, Tezzeret's predictive discount is on the fritz. Prediction is hard, yo. I'm on it. #wotc_staff
