No more bonuses for getting both? MTGA is getting greedier...

The pet was moved to the Onyx bundle instead.

The schedule says Kaldheim Quick Draft runs until April 2nd, but in the client there's now a 46h clock appearing, so which one is it?

The Quick Draft Kaldheim now live has its end time currently misconfigured to end March 26 instead of April 2. We'll be making a fix on March 25 to correct it, at which point the countdown clock will go away. Apologies for the confusion.

They should be legal in Historic Brawl.

Historic Brawl bans 4 cards from the Mystic Archive. (3 from the same list as Historic, including Demonic Tutor, plus one additional card) 4 of the cards banned in Historic will be legal in Historic Brawl, including Swords to Plowshares.

We're aware of the discrepancy, and we intend to extend the event to April 2 as described on the calendar, once some higher-priority fixes get out the door.

Found A workaround, see my other comment! A Password reset kills the blackscreen upon first start.

edit: But, it reappears after one game is finished :(

If this gets you far enough in that you can access the "Settings Gear" in the upper-right, try hitting "Unlock Play Modes" following the instructions here: https://twitter.com/Wizards_Help/status/1374785031256825856

How can we skip the color challenge if we can't get into the game to do so? Is there a workaround?

e: my client just started working again as of 19:30 est

Working on that, but unfortunately I don't have a good answer to give there currently. You're saying that the black screen is kicking in before you can hit the "gear" icon in the top-right?

Comment

Been looking into this all morning. Our current understanding is that it *is* account-related, and specifically it's related to going through the Color Challenge and having one of the quests to unlock the dual-color decks.
We're working on a fix, but for now if you can skip the Color Challenge you should be able to get out of this state.

So if I get a Swords to Plowshares it's not good in historic, or standard? Where can I use it?

You'll be able to use the Historic-banned cards in Strixhaven draft/sealed, friendly direct challenge modes, some specialty events, and against Sparky.

While we have your ear - did you all even consider the possible repercussions of putting the best game in the world on the most accessible phone platform? Like dude, I had things to planned.

:)

Hopefully those things were play Arena on your phone! :P

I play on mobile, and it doesn't have a launcher or an update in the play store. I've refreshed my play store repeatedly. I'll try again in an hour.

New version should be up in the Play store as well (I've downloaded it from there).

Comment

Make sure to restart with using the launcher to get the update

For the core sets draft, what are the pack rewards? Just m21? A mixture?

Since these extra premier drafts are focused more on a Historic audience, we made the rewards all M19 packs.

Hi, we've found out why this is happening; resolving the ability is also resolving the same text from Ravager Wurm. We're fixing this for the next release; in the meantime you can minimize the occurrence of the bug by not including those cards in the same deck (yeah, not a satisfying answer, but release cycles go as they go). #wotc_staff
