We don't need path. The historic removal is fine.

But seriously, why was Flame Tounge Kavu not included.

I see this question a fair amount, drostandfound. Cards were excluded from Jumpstart on Arena because of power level, coding costs, and/or play pattern - and Flametongue Kavu was in the last category.

The fact that FTK's trigger is mandatory and can hit your own creatures creates board states that are both punishing and stagnant. If I have one in hand and you have no creatures, I literally can't cast it without it killing itself - so I'm incentivized to do nothing. And if you ever play a creature with 4 or less toughness, not only will it die, but you've actually enabled me to play my creature and start attacking you - so you're incentivized to do nothing, too. That makes for an especially unpleasant and drawn-out case, so we decided to swap it out.

That said, we saw a fair amount of regret and frustration in response to the Jumpstart swaps, and we do understand where that was coming from. When a similar case arose again with the Mystical Archive, ...

It needs to be easier to differentiate the different targets of spells.

It does bring up the question of what is in place for colourblind people?

The arrows also come off of the top of the card from left to right in the order they are listed on rhe card.

Will the Japanese mystical archive styles for the multi color cards be made available at some point in Arena?

They will. They aren't in the College Cup, but there will be an event for them later in the set.

Maybe some more clarification here...the rewards are the normal Mystical Archive art that we can already pull from packs and it only applies to the uncommon styles and is NOT the alternate japanese art, is that correct?

It is the Japanese alternate art styles.

I really like the flavor of this, but paying 2500 gold 3 times for a chance to maybe win a sleeve seems... the worst I‘ve ever seen on Arena. I mean if you want to play the formats it is maybe worth the investment but honestly: I hope very few people will actually participate in this to show WotC that these types of flavor-fun-events should be free

To clarify, the events award card styles for the Mystical Archive, just like Festival events in past sets. And if that's still not up your alley, you don't have to enter the Cup events to receive the celebratory sleeve - everyone on Arena will get that!

PSA: Autotapper doesn't take Mage Duel's discount into account.

The autotapper is a backpack solver, probably with some kind of static state analysis involving costs. It just would be impossible of solving that situation. Most backpack algorithms are "Good Enough" variants since solving for a backpack is very hard, resource intensive, and the best answer is usually not that much better then an informed guess.

Imagine you hve a backpack and you are trying to figure out what can fit inside. Not only do the items have a size they have dimensions, and not only do they have dimensions they have weight, and not only do they have weight they have importance. Trying to determine the best items that can fit and how they do so as you can imagine is a massive undertaking.

That is what the autotapper does. It solves a large number of backpacks to see what combinations of items could work where the cast spell is part of that solution.

Now imagine if your tent got smaller when you put a blanket inside... that greatly complicates the i...

This is a great summary of the problem space autotap lives in. #wotc_staff
