Before people freak out; you can use any version of a card as long as one version is legal in that format, so as long as a card is reprinted, any old style will also be usable.
Has this been confirmed? I asked about this on the MTGA forum once and the only reply I got was from someone who said that was still unclear. That was last week, before the update, though.
Yes, it works this way. From the cosmetics FAQ (https://forums.mtgarena.com/forums/threads/53744):
After the fall set rotation, you will have ways to continue to play with all the cards in your collection. This includes using any card styles those cards may have.
Additionally, if a card is legal in a particular format you will have the option to use any card that has the same name as it regardless of the illustration. Card styles for the older versions of cards reprinted with new illustrations will still function if you’re using the older version of the card in your deck.
For example, once Core Set 2019 and Rivals of Ixalan rotate out of Standard, you will still be able to use your copies of ...

Seriously loving all the PoE refs this joke is generating.
As soon as I saw Jimmy do this, I KNEW someone was going to make this post.
Nope, the only reason we did this is that making games is hard and sometimes you miss things. It’s a bug, we’re working to get it fixed.
I assume this is for constructed, and no extra rewards for limited?
For either constructed or limited. You'll get a card style only once if you would get it through both.

I hope if you are a rank higher you still get the lower tier foils.
You will get the Wizard's Lightning card style at Gold or better, and the Vraska's Contempt card style at Platinum or better. You don't lose rewards for ranking up. :)

There was a miscommunication - the correct code is "SuperScry" (no quotes). We'll be correcting on broadcast soon as well.
This is a bug; we’re working on a fix.

(Things got shuffled around a bit today due to coverage reasons, but we're still going to share all the codes we have planned.)
Couple of things to confirm:
That might be bugged from yesterdays update or something.
It’s a bug; we’re working on fixing it.
We appreciate this feedback and share your goal of making pack contents less predictable. This problem is not new to digital Magic, and in fact has already been solved by the Magic Online team. We’re working with that team and figuring out how to adapt their solutions to pack creation in MTG Arena. We don’t have a specific date on when an update will come, and we may not update every set at the same time, but it is very much on our radar to improve this experience.

Re: Sealed - It's a typo!
Internal patch note was 'rating', which my brain and/or my keyboard auto-corrected to 'ranking' at some point. It's been fixed, and the patch note now reads:
We've been using MMR as secondary check in our Sealed matchmaking since December, and this is update is one of those adjustments we predicted we would have to make. Your Win/Loss record is still the primary factor when determining your opponents.
Apologies for the confusion, and if you have any other feedback RE: the matchmaking adjustments with this update please continue to share them!
Thanks for the call out, going to go add this to the patch notes!
This is a bug, the old version of the flip side of his art wasn't properly deleted so it's pulling that instead of the new. We'll fix it.
Auto Tap is now smarter! It will now apply more logic when choosing whether or not to tap a creature for mana (it shouldn't be so fond of an adapted Incubation Druid, for example).
Really hope it'll stop saving [[Unclaimed territory]] for last now.
EDIT : Just played against sparky, I had a spell breaker, a lava coil and 5 land in play and it didn't touch my unclaimed territory to cast the spell breaker.
Sadly, Unclaimed Territory did not get autotap love for this update, but it should be improved for the War of the Spark release. #wotc_staff
Right-Clicking on any card that you don't have 4x copies of will also open up the crafting menu. You can click on the 4th pip below the cards to craft them all in one go.
Definitely hear the feedback that two clicks to get to your uncollected cards is more annoying than one.
Hope for an hour, plan for a day
Ain’t that the truth
