New Brawl Experimental events coming to Arena! - magic.wizards.com/en/news/mtg-...
It was known that LED does not have smart priority. Still works to combo off but you do need to use full control. There are more details in the Arena Blog here - magic.wizards.com/en/news/mtg-...
Arena is planning to do 4 person Pick-Two drafts with OM1
New Anthologies! New Draft Format! New Pioneer staple!

I wrote the Ban and Restricted update for Arena Digital formats! Check it out for a little more insight into each of our formats current health:
There was a bug with today's Qualifier Weekend so we are rewarding all players 2 additional wins. If you finished with 5 wins, expect to receive a day 2 token and play tomorrow!
I too would like to see Goblin Piledriver! Waiting for someone to prove the card is still competitive in Pioneer.
We are renaming Explorer to Pioneer and adding 11 new cards to the game! I wrote more about this change here: magic.wizards.com/en/news/mtg-...

Faithless Looting is my favorite magic card to cast. Super excited for the Modern changes!
Arena formats are in a great place right now too. Read my thoughts on them here:

For Six Drop Saturday, checkout this card I made for Alchemy: Bloomburrow on Arena.
The original design in this slot had technical issues so we had to create an alternative design for “payoff for an Otter Spells deck.” Storm on Lightning Bolt felt like a wild and exciting dream to build. #wotcstaff
Close but Dave is unfortunately not a Keyword … yet. 😉
Last we have one of my all-time favorite cards. The only Zombie and Fish creature. You know em, you love em. You are casting them for 1 Black mana. Its Gurmag Angler!
Next I get to reveal that Dark Petition is coming to Arena to enable your favorite combo decks.
Pioneer Masters is coming to MTG: Arena on December 10th and I have 3 preview cards to reveal from the upcoming set! #wotcstaff
First up with a new art piece by Yohann Schepacz is an Eldrazi classic. It’s Void Shatter!
❄️ First Chicago Snow of the year🥰
3 - Customer Support is better equipped to handle the expected volume of players we saw from previous events.
4 - We have a new FAQ page to better help players when they have issues - mtgarena-support.wizards.com/hc/en-us/art...
I am hopeful these updates will make for a more streamlined event!
1 - We extended the event by 24 hours so there is more time to play!
2 - We added a new in game popup after you claim six wins that confirms your email and country. We noticed a lot of players had to update their account information during the first events and that caused delays in getting boxes.
Arena Direct is back starting this weekend with Foundations Play Boosters: magic.wizards.com/en/news/mtg-...
The #wotcstaff Arena team has made a lot of improvements since the last event that I wanted to highlight:
Oh, this is great! Please add me to the list if there is room. Thanks for making it easy to follow all the local game devs!
My favorite restaurant is a small Persian restaurant called Kabobi which serves family-style meals on silver platters and has the best hummus. Here are a few other recommendations:
🍕 = Pequods - Deep / Spacca Napoli - Thin
🍔 = Ah Cheval
🥟 = MingHin - Dim sum
🥪 = Cafecito - Cubano & Cafe con Leche
