What, like Garruk Wildspeaker and Ajani Vengeant? Well, as you know, when the planeswalkers were originally released, we had Jace Telepath Unbound, Gideon Battle-Forged, Chandra Roaring Flame, Liliana Heretic Healer, Nissa Vastwood Seer.During BFZ, they released the 3 planeswalkers from that set (Gideon Ally of Zendikar, Kiora Master of the Depths, Ob Nixilis Reignited) and concurrently released five older planeswalkers: Garruk Wildspeaker, Ajani Vengeant, Tezzeret the Seeker, Sarkhan the Mad, and Koth of the Hammer. This bolstered the original lineup and gave us greater color coverage.However, it then stopped altogether. Since OGW, and through SOI, EMN, KAL, AER, and AMK, they have followed a strict release policy that has not included any older planeswalkers. They have only released planeswalkers from those sets, which led some, including myself, to theorize that they didn't have much wiggle room anymore and that the original planeswalker extravaganza was simply to build an initial pool. Therefore, it's noteworthy that they're pulling in an older planeswalker. Even though it's most likely because they were very short on planeswalkers for this block, it shows that they do have a bit of leeway regarding how strictly they must adhere to set releases.

HomeRn said: damonsteine said: Once every two hours for the free card... Wow. Just wow. /s Agreed. WHEN and WHERE did we want this? Last thing I remember when the node timers were changed, we wanted more time in between charges... the changes to the "daily boosters" is practically along the same lines as the prior changes to the nodes!

Since the game has been hemorrhaging players, I suspect this, as well as the 4-hour refreshes, is an attempt to drive up the number of times a person checks into the app.

Dotproduct said: Well the new update just caused me to reset my entire account, loading up a FB profile apparently wasn't the right one and I've lost a year's worth of work. I'm done with this game. The stupidly slow load times compared to MPQ was sort of acceptable but this is too much.

Alternately, is there a way to disconnect from that FB profile and put in the correct one?
