Seems like a mistake to not ban Mana Drain. Going to lead to a ton of non-games when the opponent just counters your 3 drop and suddenly has 6+ mana on like turn 3. Way too swingy for a 1v1 format that isn't Timeless, IMO.
No prebans definitely doesn't mean we won't be making any bans. Mana Drain is a heck of a card, and we're planning to keep a close watch on it wherever it's legal. We may well end up needing to take action, but we'll make that call based on what players show us
Read moreMana Leak and Reanimate are banned in Historic which means they’re banned in brawl (I think)? So it’s only legal in timeless? That makes the bonus sheets a lot less exciting.
Brawl and Historic have different ban lists. All of the bonus sheet cards are legal in Brawl.
No bans mentioned for brawl.
To state it explicitly: there are no prebans for any of these cards in Brawl
MKM packs for April season rewards? Seems like a typo…
Good catch; that is a typo. Season rewards for April will be Outlaws of Thunder Junction packs
Edit: The article is now corrected here
Are there any plans to revamp or at least tweak the Brawl matchmaking in response to all these new cards?
I ask because with the current deluge of powerful cards, and Modern Horizons 3 at the... uhh, horizon, the ability for janky and mid-tier decks to compete is rapidly diminishing. It would be a shame for the format to turn fully competitive when its main strength is its sheer diversity.
We're actively discussing this. The goal for Brawl matchmaking is to let players come in with whatever kind of deck they like (including janky & mid-tier nonsense) and give them a fun and fair match. We have tools we've talked about a bit here for Commanders, and we will continue to monitor how the composition of the 99 are impacting things there.
Do these become legal in historic brawl?
It will be legal in Brawl, yes

How do we know that Mystic comes to Arena? Or do all special guests cards come to Arena now?
All the Special Guests are coming to Arena with OTJ, and all of OTP and BIG as well.
Edit to clarify a bit further: OTJ limited packs on Arena will match tabletop. Store packs will include cards from OTJ, OTP, and BIG. We'll be providing full details soon.

u/WotC_Jay why is there no second Arena Open for MKM? 2 months for the next one is awfully long time..
We love running Opens, and we love that players are excited for them. But they do require a good bit of behind-the-scenes work to run and coordinate, which limits how many we can run each year. We've been steadily raising this count, and now we're up to around 10 per year, but that does mean there will be some months without an Open.
Do you know if they’re been disbursed yet? Haven’t received mine. Thanks!
Inbox messages should have gone out, yes. If you didn't get one, contact CS.
I didn't realize Wrenn identifies as a woman. Cool.
Phage is a woman, right? She's absent. Not cool...
Phage, like JtMS, was a reward from an Arena Decathlon. They won't show up for sale like this.
This problem appears to be affecting only a small number of players. We are looking into it and trying to understand what's happening, but I don't have an ETA for a fix currently.
I bought the alchemy bundle (on steam) with 15,000 gold yesterday. I got neither packs nor golden pack progress. And nothing in my inbox. I tried restart the game and played some new games. Nothing works! It seems that you guys didn't fix the bug!
You’re experiencing something different than that bug. Please contact customer support and they can help you out.
Will you refund gems to all of us who were in the middle of a draft?
Inbox messages with reimbursements should be going out soon to anyone who got interrupted in the middle of drafting
the game kicked me out and didnt let me log in - Error code 1
I restarted my router and I was able to log in again.
Maybe it helps
Thanks for the info! This one was a DB upgrade on our side that created some unexpected problems. It shouldn't need any action from players to fix; I think your timing just lined up right
Hey, sorry about this. We're experiencing an unexpected outage of our login systems. We're working to address, and expect things to be back up soon
Edit: Looks like it's fixed now. Please feel free to resume ignoring work/school to focus on Magic
