Give us notice BEFORE rotations

We know that Koth of the Hammer Exits the Vault on September 8, which means that another PW will be cycling in and with it the special offers and special card sets will switch as well. The blue card packs even have a timer on them saying so.

We need notice as to what will be cycling in so that as customers we can make informed decisions whether or not to buy some last minute stuff or wait until the new stuff comes in, but in order to ponder on it we need to know what is coming in. You will have more sales if you tell us and less angry customers with regret for wanting what just left instead of whats new. I suggest it be done in the activity hub as well as posts here.

To make up for the sudden changes you should also offer all past special offers for a limited time and state that from now on notice will be given.

    They should've given us a chance when they first took out PWs without notice but since they haven't by now, don't hold your breath on them doing anything.

    Also, this is all we have to go by for the time being.

    On the subject of giving notice, can we have timers on ALL items that rotate out, and have them in HOURS and minutes, not 'ends in 1 day'

    So there is a PW from Kaladesh which comes out on paper at the end of the month. When is mtgpq going to release Kaladesh? What about Eldritch Moon? is it going to be like OotGW being a partial release and mixed into SOI packs or is it a stand alone full release? I would like to know the expected schedule beforehand because it literally matters on my purchases of SOI cards now or wait for them to have EM content. If it is a partial release like OotGW to allow a quicker lining up with paper magic releases, what happens when you are caught up in January with Aether Revolt? Will that be a partial release as well or will all sets at that point be full releases, and if so how will the booster packs be handled? will the blocks be mixed together or will sets at that point be separate pools?
    I wonder if that once caught up on sets you will backfill the cards not ported over from old sets to rekindle interest in old packs. Since magic is played in formats, and cards in mtgpq only exist that are in standard, there is no issue - until sept 30 when origins rotates out. I suggest there be a 'standard' quick battle pool, and a 'vintage/modern' quick battle pool and events can be in standard, vintage/modern, block or whatever format. So my question is when do you plan on addressing set rotations/formats?

    also the special offers should have a (I) to see whats lootable and a timer on them

    Are you talking about Saheeli Rai? If so, an event gave us the possibility to earn her a few days ago. She will be buyable later I guess.
    About the expansions integration, have no idea...

    Of course they don't want to announce their schedule earlier. They want you to spend your crystals on SoI and when they release EM tomorrow you will have to buy crystals.

    This. That's why they barely communicate anything.

    I mean you only have to look at the awfulness of the Dragon Hoard 'special offer' to know what their mentality is!

    2 Big Boxes at the price of 5? That's an awesome offer!
