Thanks for the report! We're looking into this, and we are seeing signs of problems like you describe, with decks matching out-of-band more often than they should.
This is not an intentional change, and we are digging in to see what's going on.

i went friday night and didnt receive anything. time to get worried yet?
Packs should have just gone out - if you don't see them in an hour or so (from this post time), contact CS
What if i didn't recive my packs yet? Do I need to wait or it's better to raise a support ticket?

Not sure about OP, but I did replicate it by dealing damage twice with creature with lifelink and maxed out +1/+1 counters in single game. It fixed itself after another two billions of lifelinked damage.
That’s hilarious. Integer overflow problems have integer overflow solutions
It's 5% random. You get it against Sparky, in Momir, and Phanteom Sealed.
This is correct (and you nailed the percentage; well done!)
This is, uh, not intended behavior. Our engineers are on the case. Did you happen to gain an insane amount of life in one game?
Wizards is going back and forth on it. I think they started with Lost Caverns, where we got the face Commanders from the precons. Then they skipped Murders. Then we got the face commanders for Outlaws. Then they skipped Bloomburrow and Duskmourn. Now we get the Aetherdrift Commanders. I really hope they don't skip Tarkir. :/
It is a thing we like to do when we can. Sometimes we don't have bandwidth (for DSK we were focused on Pioneer Masters instead), and sometimes we'll focus that bandwidth elsewhere (for BLB we did the Courageous Critters instead), but we try to include the face commander cards.
tbf we could probably try asking someone who works at wizards in a couple months lol
Maybe....
Up to 5 is awesome!
Do you know if there's a cutoff date for them to count? I know my LGS was planning on doing make-up prereleases this upcoming weekend after canceling them last weekend due to the winter storm.
There's another round of prerelease rewards going out end of next week, to catch late events like this! You're still good.

📝 Patch notes soon after.
Was there anything about whether doing multiple pre-releases would count for additional rewards or not? I couldn't find anything but not sure if I suck at reading or searching.
I'm not sure where/how it was communicated, but we're going to be rewarding up to 5 prereleases here
They’re coming soon to your inbox. We wanted to get the new release out first and make sure it was stable.
This is a bug. Based on early testing, it looks like you can't enter a match with a vehicle as your commander. We'll get this fixed soon
yes sleeve search/filter is much needed. i am also a sleeve collector and the way it loads so slowly has caused me to both not even bother changing my sleeves and prevents me from buying more.
also if we can mute certain default emotes or even all default emotes, that would be great. i love my little stickers but the 'your go' while i'm comboing or 'gg' spammers make me keep them off.
What would you want to filter or search by? (We talk about this internally often, and there are various opinions)
Thanks for the clarification! Much appreciated.
On an unrelated note: will we ever be able to hide cards, sleeves and possibly avatars from showing in deckbuilder / collection browsers? For example, as a long-time player I have more than 150 sleeves. Some of them I don't care about and some of them I actively dislike. The latter were randomly awarded or came as part of Mastery Passes. Being able to hide them from view would make your account feel more personalized, like an actual personal collection. An Unfavorite / Hide button would do the trick (with a browser for hidden items to unhide them, obviously).
For cards it's even more sorely needed. If you brew a lot and have strong art preferences, there will be cards you won't want to consider for new decks by default. With the coming UB sets, being able to curate your personalized collection will become even more desirable for players.
We're aware of these issues (I think I have over 400 sleeves?), and we would like to improve them for players. I don't have any plans or timelines to announce there, but it's a thing we talk about internally as well
Is this something that may change in the future or should we not expect it?
It's a quality of life improvement we would like to add, but there's also a very long list of those. I don't have a planned ETA or priority where we would be taking this on, but we'll see how player interaction with achievements develops
I was expecting info about SPG rarities.
Sorry! Accidental omission. We're working to get it added to the blog.
In the meantime:
Common: Thoughtcast, Galvanic Blast
(no uncommons)
Rare: Whir of Invention, Bone Miser, Lord of the Undead, Chandra's Ignition, Pathbreaker Ibex
Mythic: Cavalier of Dawn, Chrome Mox, Skysovereign, Consul Flagship
Any word on when Steam gets it? I uninstalled the regular client when steam released but understandable they prioritize their actual client over Steam.
Steam will get the new set, new update, and achievements at the same time everyone else does (between 8:00 - 9:00 AM Pacific Time tomorrow). The achievements will not be integrated with Steam (showing up in the overlay as Steam achievements, etc.), but they will be fully available to players on Steam
I wonder if that one in particular is retroactive. I have a total of TWO sets I collected in full. Not an easy thing to do.
This one should count. Your explanation below is pretty correct.
Any achievement where the current state of your account shows you completing it - like having a complete set or being a particular rank right now - will count as completed. But anything that requires looking back into the past will not
Hmmm… the major downside to more options would be wait times. Towards the end of sets I’ve waited 10+ minutes for a Traditional draft to fire… splitting Traditional drafters into two queues might not be viable.
This is correct - Bo3 Draft doesn't have enough players for two queues, so we have to pick ranked or unranked.
Both ranked & unranked draft are interesting - Ranked keeps players in close, exciting games by pairing them with players closer to their skill level, while unranked rewards high-skill players with higher winrates (since they're not being skill-matched).
We opted for making Bo3 the unranked version, because both mirror the way draft is played in tabletop. We tried having Bo3 be ranked in early beta, but players at the time quickly and clearly responded that they preferred unranked.
