@WotC_Lexie:Check the store! :grinning:I don't see them anywhere in the store and today is supposed to be the last day to purchase the sleeves. Did they get unlisted early?
They were removed at 9am PT on November 4. Sorry for the inconvenience!
MTG Arena Effective Date: November 5, 2019
Brawl:
This includes using Oko, Thief of Crowns as your commander or as part of your deck. As a general reminder, Direct Challenge outside of Tournament Mode does not enforce card bans.
Players who have Oko, Thief of Crowns as part of their in-game collection on MTG Arena prior to this announcement will not be receiving Wildcards as part of this update. Oko, Thief of Crowns is still playable in all other formats and events.
Players will need to restart their client at any point before the start of Wednesday Brawl on November 6, 2019 at 8 a.m. PT for Brawl decks containing Oko, Thief of Crowns to appear unplayable. Otherwise, players will not see that their deck is invalid until they hit “Play” (...

Interesting. As long as the GRP is parsing the entire card before acting I can't see the issue with simply redefining the target(s) when the Overload cost is paid, but that could just be a limitation in the language. Also the exiling creatures from play and/or graveyards already exists on many cards we currently have in arena, it's just mixing the yard and board that muddies the current way the GRP actions the card?
Either way your response is much appreciated. If you guys ever open an office in Toronto (Ontario, Canada, that is) then I'll be first in line to help you guys out ;)
It's not a matter of "redefining targets" - there ARE no targets when you cast the spell using Overload. Which has a lot of implications: target verification is gone when validating whether casting the spell this way is legal, it's skipped when we resolve the spell, it no longer is a spell that "could target" anything, and of course when we resolve the spell it no longer consults what targets were selected when applying the effects of the spell. Those are huge differences that can't reasonably be made on the fly; the right way to do this is to separately parse the "target" and "each" version of all the abilities that could be on the card, and somehow have casting the spell using overload use that alternate parse.
As for the Angel of Serenity, my point is that the sentence structure is novel. The behavior isn't new, I'd expect fixing this precise card to take a half-hour at most (probably going up to an hour to include writing tests). But again, this sort of thing adds up, a...
Read moreWhat about the logistics of bringing back older sets already on Arena? I'm dying for Amonkhet sealed/drafts. And as much as I'd love a mastery pass/God avatars/sleeves to go along with it, that takes extra resources beyond a set that was once on the platform. For the cards themselves, how much work would that be?
For rules correctness, the work for the sets that were in the Closed Beta is almost nothing. For getting the quality of those sets to match that of those that are in the live game, there's at least a couple weeks of work. But the big hurdle I think is in answering the question "what's the best way for players to get access to these cards", which is a reasonably tough question that happens to be entirely out of my domain. #wotc_staff
