Magic The Gathering: Arena Dev Tracker

Does it?

How did you know that it was some kind of a condition?

In general, Magic is a game that works based on rules. You do get a free pass on this one because the rules are nowhere to be found in client. However,

101.3. Any part of an instruction that’s impossible to perform is ignored. (In many cases the card will specify consequences for this; if it doesn’t, there’s no effect.)

The parts of its effect that cannot be performed are simply ignored without any consequence to the spell's resolution.

Hey Jay! A bit of constructive criticism, I feel like some of the rewards in the premium pass aren't exciting enough... particulary ones that hand out 6-mana PW's that are basically unplayable, even considering it's one of the very few ways to obtain them. I'd like to suggest adding some Rare/Mythic Wildcards in the mix for the upcoming pass, it could even replace the random Mythic card drop... though I'm afraid Eldrain pass content is probably already decided, but hopefully in the future :) Also, unrelated, I would love to see Wildcards for styles someday, so I can get the style I want instead of earning styles for cards I'm never going to use. Cheers and keep up the good work my man!

Wow, thanks for the reply! I've got to say I'm pretty blown away that a game I've been playing for 20+ years has someone who listened to my feedback. Keep up the good work and pushing for what the players are asking for. I know it can't be easy trying to advocate for the community when people (like me sometimes if I'm honest) are giving you hell, but you've done right my me and I appreciate it a lot.

by refreshing the quest you mean giving us 3 new ones or getting a new one and losing any uncompleted quest over the new one?

Regarding this quote from the July 10, 2019 update:

As previously announced, we will remove the level purchase button at the end of this month. After hearing player feedback, we are looking at ways to let people who want to purchase levels to still do so somewhere. But this will be surfaced in a natural and not "in your face" way.

Is that going to happen during the Core 2020 season? I knew that gems-for-XP is contentious, but (much like OP's suggestion) it seems like a safety valve to prevent frustration for people who are just barely short of a desired reward at the end of the season.

quick question, can mastery orbs be saved for future sets or they must be spent on m20?

What's the final day for this battlepass?

So, say I convince my buddies to try it out, will I be able to play against them if I’m on the original client but they’ve got Arena from Epic?

Existing players on the Wizards platform will not be required to create Epic accounts.

This makes assurances for current players, but what about future players? I know that I will be able to continue to play sans EGS launcher since I'm an "existing player on the Wizards platform," but what about someone who wants to start playing Arena in January 2020? Will they be required to create an Epic account?

EDIT: This WotC staff comment seems to indicate that future players won't be affected by the EGS "third-party exclusivity" if they want to play sans EGS launcher. Seems weird to narrow their assurances that the non-EGS method will be available to "existing players" when it also includes future players going forward. Perhaps the wording on the page could be updated.

True, as long as I don't have to use that store, whatever, but at this point I'm fully expecting an EGS announcement by the time Arena leaves Beta at this point.

As for exposure, what tiny percentage of people would find out about MTG Arena for the first time through Epic?! I just can't wrap my head around it.
