I won’t lie, Thassa and Callaphe were easily the two cosmetic rewards I’ve been the most excited about and while a Blue Singleton Mirror Event has amazing flavor, I guess I was expecting another cool emblem

Edit: I really did enjoy this event despite my own grandiose ideas for what I thought it was going to be. Like I said, the flavor is phenomenal and that’s why I play the game! I definitely plan to do the event either on or off stream, but my ideas for what it was going to be have absolutely no bearing on the validity of event design!

Sadly, our Emblem Guy headed off to a deserted island with some animal friends at the last minute, so here we are... ;)

I kid, I kid. Really, we just try to mix up the types of events we offer, especially within a connected series like the Festival. Different Magic players like different play experiences, and we want to provide a wide spread - something for everyone, you know? Emblem events are sweet, but they can be taxing for newer players who don't own the more offbeat cards, and many players just don't enjoy building a whole new deck for a temporary event.

I hope you still got those styles and that it was at least interesting for you, even if it wasn't what you were expecting. And thanks for the feedback! #wotcstaff

Hello Magic fans,

As we continue to grapple with COVID-19, we here at Wizards of the Coast are doing what we can to help players, local game store owners and fans stay as connected as possible while practicing social distancing. We have an article discussing some of our initiatives here, so please be sure to read through it. The goal of this specific post is meant to help players, local game store owners and fans all connect with one another. You’ll see LGS owners and community members post links to their store’s online community hub here, where you can discuss any online tournaments they may be hosting, whether those are on MTGO, MTG Arena or even a FaceTime call of a fierce tabletop game. If you don’t see your LGS here, check their other social media channels or the Store Locator to see how you can stay connected with your local play community...

@goblininstigator:

Is there not going to be an update today that addresses this issue?
It's been upvoted more than 1100 times on the Bug Report forum and it still seems like WotC is still pretending like nothing is wrong?

We definitely know that something is wrong. That's why we posted this fix on 3/12!

If you are running into a black screen upon update, your computer just needs to be updated! Please download the latest version of Visual C++ vc_redist.x86.exe to fix this. You can do so here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads

Oh so we get the art f we purchase the lair?
No. You have to pay for it.
You got an MTGA code for the card styles (these four arts) plus a Thalia card sleeve if you purchased that Secret Lair drop. So basically what you see in the image of the first post.

Lexie,
This past Saturday, when I got back in to the game after the update, I purchased a bunch of the new cosmetics including both the Thalia SL bundle and the Turn 2 bundle including the style for the original Thalia art. Today, trying to put Thalia into a deck, it's letting me select any of the SL styles but NOT the original art's style, saying I have to purchase it in a bundle, with a link to the store where... The Turn 2 bundle shows as still unpurchased. Yet I have double checked and I do h...
