Still expected today, but we're running into some unexpected problems that are delaying things.

I realize I'm the 80th person to ask this today, but due to the recent unban in Pioneer this morning, is there any possibility of fast-tracking Smuggler's Copter onto the platform? It's a big gap between digital/paper that makes playing Explorer online much less attractive. Appreciate it.

No plans to announce there, but we're aware of the gap and actively discussing the best way to close it

So wait, are the Fetchlands also banned in Historic Brawl or just regular Historic? I assume just regular Historic but I've seen Historic Brawl included under the "Historic" umbrella before. As annoying as Fetches are, I have a few 3 color decks like Isshin that desperately need better mana.

As for Timeless, I probably won't buy in as I suspect that within less than a week there will be some unbeatable tier 0 turn 2 instant win combo deck discovered, but it's cool to have the format available. I think I got my fill of the no bans format but my interest might grow as more cards are added to Arena and more deck options open up. Wish it didn't include Alchemy though.

Fetchlands will be legal in Historic Brawl. Calling it "Historic" Brawl has always been a bit off, since cards like Bolt, Ragavan, etc. are legal there too. Clarifying the naming there is on our list.

What about sets from Arena beta? Are they going to be included in timeless?

The full AER, KLD, AKH, and HOU cards are no longer in the game, and have not been maintained or QA'ed. They might come one day, but will not be around at launch

I hope The One Ring and Bowmasters are considered paper cards and we will get unnerfed versions.

Yup, anything with a printed version will use that original version, so The One Ring, Bowmasters, Minsc & Boo, etc.

A big thing is will they refund 3 wildcards for a card they restrict? Like, for example if we craft ragavan and they decide it is too good so they restrict it, will we get 3 wildcards back?

Edit: From the article:

Cards on the restricted list will be limited to only a single copy in the combined main deck and sideboard. When a card is added to the restricted list and is no longer legal in any other format, players will receive wildcards for each copy of the card in their collection greater than one. For example, if a player owns four copies of a card that is added to the restricted list, the player will receive three wildcards for that change.

There will not be wildcard reimbursement for the three card restrictions made with the launch of Timeless.

Yes, that's exactly how things will work

There was a brief window where, effectively, mobile players were sent to an alternate dimension. This is back to normal now, and everyone should be connected back to their proper account data.

The dimension still exists, just once again properly sequestered away from players. No database records were harmed as a result of this.

Thank you! Tell Chris and Sam B mysterious greetings are sent there way :)

You're going to need to disambiguate that Chris (we've got a lot of them), but I'll pass that on!

Edit: Oh wait, I bet that "B" was meant to apply to both Chris & Sam, and now I know who you mean

Thanks, I’ll try to find it. As an old boomer I really hate discord for archiving information. It’s great for in the moment conversations but Terrible for finding anything older then a day or two. Prefer the old forum system my self.

/u/I_said_no_cops - try this link! (I, too, am still learning Discord)

Did anyone attend the Q&A or have a transcript? I totally forgot about it.

Hey /u/I_said_no_cops - it might take a little bit of scrolling, but if you join our Discord (or if you're already in it) and you head to the channel #design_talk, you are able to read back through the Q&A. It's also a channel that we actually keep live as a safe space for players to talk and for devs to hop into here and there to answer questions.
Apologies on the delayed response here but hope that helps!

We are aware of this issue and treating it as a high-priority to fix. No updates on an ETA at this time, but we're actively working on it.
