We talk about this a lot internally. At a high level, we like changes that make the current battlefield state more obvious, and we want to avoid anything that makes (or suggests) "the right decision" for the player. (At least where that decision is interesting or strategic; auto-tap is an example where we'll make some simple decisions.)

We just deployed a fix for the two broken decks, so all decks should be working now. Sorry for the error!

Good news, then! This is fixed now, and Jeskai & Azorius are back on the menu!

True facts. The Jeskai and Azorius decks have content issues that mean they won't pair properly. We're working right now to see if we've got a window to fix it before the event's over

Edit Wed AM: We just deployed the fix for this; all decks should now be working. Sorry for the error, and thanks for your patience

-?booster should work in Arena, but there's a data issue that means it doesn't return the right results for recent sets

We did talk about this a good bit, yes. In the end, we decided that keeping parity between Arena and Tabletop drafts of MH3 was more important. But we understand that there are a number of players who are looking for those other 5 fetches

This is what we meant, yes. It's a standout in play rate (what percentage of players are using the deck), but its win rate doesn't stand out. It has a fine win rate, but so do a lot of the other top decks in Timeless

No prebans definitely doesn't mean we won't be making any bans. Mana Drain is a heck of a card, and we're planning to keep a close watch on it wherever it's legal. We may well end up needing to take action, but we'll make that call based on what players show us

Brawl and Historic have different ban lists. All of the bonus sheet cards are legal in Brawl.

To state it explicitly: there are no prebans for any of these cards in Brawl

Good catch; that is a typo. Season rewards for April will be Outlaws of Thunder Junction packs

Edit: The article is now corrected here

We're actively discussing this. The goal for Brawl matchmaking is to let players come in with whatever kind of deck they like (including janky & mid-tier nonsense) and give them a fun and fair match. We have tools we've talked about a bit here for Commanders, and we will continue to monitor how the composition of the 99 are impacting things there.

It will be legal in Brawl, yes

All the Special Guests are coming to Arena with OTJ, and all of OTP and BIG as well.

Edit to clarify a bit further: OTJ limited packs on Arena will match tabletop. Store packs will include cards from OTJ, OTP, and BIG. We'll be providing full details soon.

We love running Opens, and we love that players are excited for them. But they do require a good bit of behind-the-scenes work to run and coordinate, which limits how many we can run each year. We've been steadily raising this count, and now we're up to around 10 per year, but that does mean there will be some months without an Open.

Inbox messages should have gone out, yes. If you didn't get one, contact CS.

Phage, like JtMS, was a reward from an Arena Decathlon. They won't show up for sale like this.

This problem appears to be affecting only a small number of players. We are looking into it and trying to understand what's happening, but I don't have an ETA for a fix currently.

You’re experiencing something different than that bug. Please contact customer support and they can help you out.

Inbox messages with reimbursements should be going out soon to anyone who got interrupted in the middle of drafting
