Magic The Gathering: Arena Dev Tracker

As you bring up, there are a variety of ways to measure the "goodness" of a MWM event format. Allowing more players to play is one way to do that, and Momir excels there. Behaviors like playing past rewarded wins (indicating enjoyment) are also good, and that tends to come from events that require unique deckbuilding constraints (that also get much lower participation).

Basically, different formats drive different types of positive experiences, and that's why MWM offers a variety

Data is, in general, pretty clear on "what" and pretty quiet on "why". There is a clear pattern that modes that don't require having a particular deck (Momir, precon, even limited) tend to get more participation. Which makes sense, when you think about it.

Thanks for the morning chuckle. Also, you're in good company. Momir is consistently one of our most-played MWM formats (which is part of why we keep running it).

Hey! Wanted to toss a quick note that we did update the language here for clarity and accuracy to the following:

Incorporate perpetually adds an additional casting cost to that card, adding any new colors from that cost, and adds abilities/text to that card for the rest of the game.

That said, I also went to the experts to confirm that yes, you can do this! In your above exmaple, the Pyrotechnic Performer would be facedown on the stack without the perpetual ability from Guildpact Greenwalker, so it would cost 3 to Disguise. Then, since turning a card face up isn't casting it, the cost would be R and the card would turn over with its perpetual abilities.

Hope this helps and nice find - definitely good cards to play together! :)

Ian, who is the main person responding on Discord's design channel, leads the Cardset team, which is responsible for making new cardsets work. So yes, that's where his focus is. Achievements are being worked on by a different team.

Exactly right. Yes, winning & happy responses are highly correlated, but there are very interesting things to learn by looking at who's not happy even when they are winning, what modes are fun even when you lose, etc.

The automatic fix for this was completed a week ago. If you're still missing your pre-order packs, please contact CS. And sorry about that!

We are in-progress and hope to have it completed today

This is not a common issue, and it sounds like a re-install might help you

This is a bug. As a player that loves cosmetics and limited, I am very sad. We'll get it fixed.

There will be stickers. We discovered a late bug with the bundle and had to disable it. It should be back soon.

Between the printing

And the format legality

Falls the Shadow

Yes, we're aware and working to get them fixed. The attack arrows problem we have a solution for, and we expect to be releasing that soon. The issue with viewing the battlefield while sideboarding we're still investigating.

When did you try your second code? If it was today, it might be part of an issue we're currently tracking

Sorry about that! There was an error that made Jump-In unavailable, but it should be back now.

We're tracking a couple players in this stuck state today (including our head of production!). We're investigating, and expect to get this solved soon. You shouldn't need to do anything here; we think we can identify all the affected players.

Philosophically, we would always rather see more cards available for unrestricted play in Timeless. Practically, we can implement a restriction much more quickly than we can add new cards to the game.

If there was a problem developing slowly, we would probably look for venues to insert counter cards. If a problem sprang up quickly and needed immediate reaction (dominating the meta, ruining diversity, etc.), we would almost certainly need to restrict something to control it.
