A free ass whooping is what I got lol
Hahaha. That guy's brutal. Fun fact: People think that designers are the people who will be best at a game. False. Always fear QA.

Should i try to not play my convoke Buxton deck until this bug is patched? I had that happen to me right now with Wylie duke atiin hero and don't want to that as exploit. My deck is full of cards who are triggering tapped and convoke is the deck style
Until we get this fixed, I would hold off on playing that deck, unfortunately. Though you might be playing innocently, it could still be exploiting the issue. We are working to fix this soon
What about players who didn't know about the bug? Will i get banned simply because the bug happened? Ill admit it happened twice because the first time i thought it was something either i or an opponent played.
When reviewing player records for issues like this, we allow a bit of grace so that players like you describe are not caught up in the search. This isn't about "Zero tolerance; you did it once and you're banned". We look to understand the difference between an innocent player who was surprised by the bug and someone who is clearly exploiting.
It sounds nuanced, but it's not usually hard to tell the difference - Did you use a deck that abuses the bug in 5-10 games with a ~50% winrate? Probably not exploiting then. Did you play 50+ games with a 65% winrate? Yeah, you knew what you were doing.
Why is it ban worthy if it’s in the game and no cheating is required?
As others have said, because exploiting obvious bugs in order to abuse other players is considered cheating, and it is not tolerated. We will use a bit of a grace (won't ban everyone who got even 1 win off a deck like this), but players who are repeatedly using a deck built to exploit this and get an artificially high winrate know exactly what they're doing.
Hey, thanks for the report. We are aware and looking into this issue. We will be scanning data for players exploiting this issue, and we will be temp/perma banning as appropriate.

Edit: This bug should now be fixed; sorry for the disruption! (You may need to restart to pick up the fix if you are actively playing now)

The other comments are correct once you've finished drafting. You get rewards for what you've won so far.
One time I got sleepy and stopped mid draft (may have even been P1P1), and they fully reimbursed me. Not sure if that is always the case, but might be a thing.
If the event ends and you haven't completed your draft, you should get automatically reimbursed
Off the top of my head, as someone playing since beta, other examples of "card styles" that existed before actual card styles that can't be acquired are: Duress, Ghalta, Firemind's research, Tef 5, Ral 5, Vraska 4. (There maybe more)
Not positive either, but I think that's an accurate list
Isn't card weighting only for Brawl queue?
Deck-based weighting applies in Brawl and the Play queues. It is not used at all in any rank queues
Dude did not use any flying creatures 😂 mono black discard
Are you saying that he was, himself, a hypnotic specter?
Thanks! Does this refer to both Standard Brawl and Brawl?
Standard Brawl and Brawl both use the same basic matchmaking system, yes
Thanks for the clarity. Is there any chance we might see some type of flag for brawl decks that tells us what bracket that deck would fall into?
In general, we don't want to expose too much of the system that way, because it will lead to people gaming it, and that kind of gaming leads to worse player experiences overall. We talked more about that in this article: MTG Arena Announcements – June 3, 2024 (wizards.com)
Hey all! Just to clarify what I was talking about today, the four bucket system isn't literally how Arena Brawl works - it's more nuanced and conceptual. As I even mentioned on stream, I just learned about this myself as we dug into this concept so I might have been a little off. Just want to avoid you all going down rabbit holes that aren't quite right. Hope this helps clarify and happy Brawling!

Mods, this is actual-Gavin-Gavin, and worthy of flair
I think it also cares about wait time, so the longer you wait the more likely you are to be paired out of your bracket to reduce wait times.
This is accurate. All matchmaking on Arena (or any game, really) is a compromise between finding a good pairing and a quick pairing. The longer it's taking to find a match, the wider it can go.

Yes, actually!
Unfortunately, we moderators get to pick our hand, and we always have a Force of Will + Blue Card, no matter the format.
Wait, you can what?
Thanks for the great report! (Video of a minimal repro against Sparky is a real pro move.) We'll get engineers looking at this promptly
Oh hey! That's my old boss. And, randomly, one of the only 2 or three orange names I've played against in the wild. There's a lot fewer of us than there are of you, so it's always pretty rare to meet one.
