Honestly I think this is kind of it. Midweek magic to show modes of play people don't usually play and frankly standard fits that definition for a lot of players.

Oh hey, I was coming to say basically this.

We choose Midweek Magic formats for a variety of reasons. Sometimes it's novelty, and sometimes it's to put focus on a particular format. Players on this subreddit are among the game's most invested, and therefore the most likely to be a little weary of our evergreen offerings. I sympathize, but there are lots of other players who appreciate a little incentive to try something they usually don't, especially when the format has recently changed.

And even on the other hand, MWM being a format that you already play means that you already have decks ready for it. Variant constructed formats see less participation because of the friction of having to build a deck. For players who are already familiar with the format - who are already prepared and even may get to have an advantage from their expertise - a week where you already know the ropes can be an upside.

On the topic of bugs, I saw that the alt-art of Brutal Cathar and its flip side don't have any text anymore, even though the card itself works as intended so it should only be a visual issue

Thanks for the report. Weโ€™re aware and should have it fixed soon

This is a bug, and we're on the case.

Would be nice if they told us why are they changing this stuff every patch in the first place.

Initial change was a bug (unintentional); putting it back to the old way was a bugfix. I agree, it should have had a patch note. Just got missed, unfortunately.

I am seeing Revoker in the deckbuilder when my deck is set to Explorer, and I am able to queue up in Explorer with a deck containing Revoker. What indication are you seeing that it's not legal?

"These can replace a common rarity card in MTG Arena Store packsโ€”which means it is possible to get more than one rare or mythic rare in a pack."

The BRR Mystic Forge is indeed mythic, but your BRO rare can also potentially be mythic, and these two slots are rolled independently. What you're seeing in the packs screen during pack opening is that the highest rarity card is getting sorted up to that center "slot." You should still have a BRO rare in each pack.

Hmm. It's probably nothing.
