Well MTG Arena started out with Standard, but we're growing the card pool beyond that... It just takes time to put in new cards. A lot of time.

Can't get a representative to comment on anything that matters.
A thread opens up about selling something and the dev's respond three times.
Isn't WoTC wonderful?
I’m sorry you feel that way, but of course I’m going to answer a genuine question. I reply to something if I can/if my response would be useful. I do read every single post on this forum and pass along feedback to the team even if I’m not replying.
Sometimes players ask questions that I can’t answer, and I know that’s frustrating, but I do what I can. Players are always free to tag me or send a DM as well if they have a question or are looking for a resource. :slight_smile:
Wow so strong and cool art.
Will this card be playable at least in historic?
No, if it were in Arena it wouldn’t be legal in any format*. These cards are designed to be flavorful and represent the team receiving them, not be balanced, healthy additions to a meta.
*Note that cards not legal in any format can still be used in Direct Challenge.
Last year all of the people who work on MtG: Arena were recognized by WotC as some of 2018's Heroes of the Realm, a prize for taking WotC to new and exciting directions. Today we finally got the coolest part of this prize: a card we helped design! I'm very proud to be part of this team and to make this cool game. #wotc_staff
They probably had only 2 Sphinx in hand -- for whatever reason they seem to be doubled when revealed at the start of the game. (Which makes me wonder what might happen if you really did draw all 4 in your opener; would 8 sphinx visually appear somehow?)
There is indeed a visual bug where twice the number of Sphinx of Foresights are shown in the opponent's hand until their first turn. We are working on a fix.
The four-Sphinx case would show only seven Sphinxes since there are only seven cards in your opponent's hand. If they were somehow able to draw an eighth card before their first turn, then you would see eight Sphinxes!
So it's my fault I don't use twitter? What?
I just re-read all 3 emails I received on Secret Lair. None of the emails specify that the cards are for paper play. I also play paper btw. When I click through to the shop it also does not mention paper that I can see, although it does confusingly mention MTGO and MTGA. I find the product very confusing given that I don't recall singles ever being sold before (albeit in a bundle).
But hey if you think the marketing was spot on - well done.
I will pass along your feedback to our marketing team. :slight_smile: If you'd like to see the cards, scroll down the Secret Lair page...
Read moreInteresting marketing fail. I got numerous emails about it, and had no idea what the product was either.
It's all over the MTG Arena twitter, MTG twitter, ...
Read moreSecret Lair is a paper MTG product that consists of new art on popular cards, that you can get in themed 24-hour-only drops. I'm really excited for OMG KITTIES and Seeing Visions (the art is SO good). :slightly_smiling_face: You can get them here: https://secretlair.wizards.com/us
Note: If you click the ad, it will take you to the page where you can buy/get more info. One reason they're shown in the client is because each bundle comes with a rede...
Read moreCorrect, the Secret Lair sleeves are not exclusive to the Secret Lair drop itself. It will be a while before you see them in the MTGA store though.
The Secret Lair cards are specific to Secret Lair, though. There are no plans to make them available outside of the 24 hour window that they are sold in. Here's the article that gives you details.
Currently, the FAQ for Secret Lair code redemption incorrectly states that these sleeves will also be available for purchase starting on December 12, 2019. While we do intend to make these sleeves available for purchase on Magic: The Gathering Arena, the exact date has yet to be determined.
We apologize for the confusion, and we are working to get this information corrected on the Secret Lair website.
Codes will be released as product is made available. Players who received their codes from their purchase can redeem them immediately. Please be aware that there is a known issue with code redemption, and you will not receive a pop-up showcasing the items you have received (though you should still receive the “Code Redemption Successful” ...
