Hello hrmello, Welcome to MTG Arena!
If you want to just play a casual game, "Play" mode is the place to go. Depending on the format of your deck, it will automatically match you against other Standard or Historic decks. It's also *usually* not as competitive as Ranked mode - we match players on their play history and the strength of cards in their deck - but we don't stop people from playing whatever they want.
I'd love for us to have something like this eventually! Unfortunately it's not happening any time soon.
Does it really say well about you that this is first post in 7 days? And before those 3 posts, monitoring AMA, another 2 weeks break? There was bunch ofg high upvoted posts in last month that would greatly benefit from Wizards input, but people that develop the game seem to have much more time to interact with community that your team.
We (meaning this account, our individual WotC Reddit accounts, and other platform accounts) jump into conversations on various platforms, and we're always keeping up with the community here! We may not reply, but we're always reading and passing along feedback.
As for the developers, they interact with folks on Reddit because this is their favorite platform and they're ultimately the topic experts. If an answer can come directly from them, that's awesome, because the best person to talk about a thing is the person who made the thing.
Thanks for the heads up, folks. Sometimes we get so deep into writing, updating, etc that we miss things. We're only human, after all! We'll get these updated.
Just to be clear, is this a specific issue with the card or the issue where a disconnect/concede won't notify the user in any way?
It seems to have been an issue with how the client understands the messaging about how cards are attached to other ones. I didn't work on this bug, so take this with a grain of salt, but I think Journey to Eternity transforming and thus stopping being attached to something caused the next time we made a new attachment to be handled incorrectly. #wotc_staff
The most imaginary thing here is Wizards' Community Managers...
Hi.
Looking at our issue tracker, it seems this bug has been fixed for the Ikoria release. #wotc_staff
I only just purchased the current pass (as like I'm sure many others) I like to wait to see what level I'll hit before committing.)
Do I need to use my existing Traditional Draft ticket NOW, or can I wait and use it to enter the new player-draft Traditional Draft later?
Any older "Traditional Draft Tokens" (like the one from THB's Mastery Pass) will be turned into the "Player Draft" tokens described above, good for either flavor of player draft.
Hey, I was wondering, do the Mastery Pass draft tokens only work on Quick Draft?
They’re “Player Draft” tokens now, good for either Bo1 or Bo3 player drafts (premier or traditional).
whoa... Jay Parker really seems to have his shit together. Glad to see he's at the head of things.
It makes me wonder how big the shake up was early last year.
Credit goes to the team. My job is mostly about getting things out of their way so they can do the real work of pushing forward and making awesome things.
So many good news in this update. One slight bump I've noticed - Bo3 are still not ranked, for no real reason. Why? Overall a lot of good news, can't wait for Thursday.
Players ask this a lot - We actually made Bo3 drafts ranked in closed beta and there was a lot of player pushback. Ranked drafts means ranked matchmaking means ~50/50 winrates for all players. Players that really valued their draft skill no longer had a place to turn that into extra winnings, and that made it feel much different than tabletop play (counter to the goals for our "traditional" mode). That's why we're leaving this mode unranked.
Thanks for the report. We’ve temporarily disabled this event while we fix things up. We hope to have it back available soon.
And we're back - Event now re-enabled, everything working properly. Thanks for bearing with us.
The event should be live again now! #wotc_staff
