I'm not sure exactly what it is, but that February 21 day reward looks really exciting to me!

    Well it seems that the super pack we are used to get is replaced by 3 cards ! I'm not sure I'm really excited. Less cards, less orbs, less crafting...

    Looks like 3 color pack to me. But I could be wrong

    I thought it looked like a picture of three Ixalan packs, but as I said I'm not sure.

    Nope, those are 2 bfz and 1 origins card, all commons.

    But! It might mean, based on their colouring:

    1 uncommon
    1 mythic
    1 rare

    Which would be a lot better than a single super pack!

    Or 3 colour packs? All the images are shaded according to their actual colours

    They're not Ixalan cards. In order, they are Malakir Familiar, Molten Nursery, and Kor Bladewhirl.

    https://mtgpq.info/cards/MalakirFamiliar
    https://mtgpq.info/cards/MoltenNursery
    https://mtgpq.info/cards/KorBladewhirl

    If anything, that means we're looking at a 3-color pack as @Hesturk has suggested, or we're looking at something from the Battle for Zendikar expansion (the set that contains all three of those cards).

    So instead of IX boosters, you get Legacy cards you cannot use in standard events to win IX boosters.

    I don't think it has to do with rarity. It's a black, red, and white card, in that order. I think they're just shaded to indicate the overall color of the cards.

    What have been other event rewards? Could be random mythic from those 3 colors for Ixalan.

    That seems terrible, unless I'm missing something here.

    @Brigby will no doubt clarify tomorrow.

    I think that's an old image they used during bfz. Then we got a big box iirc.

    or they grabbed 3 random stock photos

    I also think it's a placeholder. Of corpse the reward will be from Ixalan, but they don't want us to know it yet.

    Although from those cards I'm missing 2 (have the familiar) and would have no problem in accepting them with the Ixalan prize :)

    I thought maybe it was a placeholder too but why not just use HOU art if they're just going to change it?

    @Sorin81 I think we got a Fat Pack — still the middle one

    Been so long ago I couldn't remember the names. Thanks @bken1234

    Normally when they release a new set in the middle of the month the daily rewards don't change to the new set until the next month.

    More questions... Fewer Answers...  Until we get the Highlighted 30 page report early this week... Oooops... Missed that mark too.  Jan Q&A maybe... Ooooops... Poof! ...   I've stopped being impatient... Things will change whenever they change...  When Brigby said Ixlan in two weeks... This is how I felt... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XY5KTVA_2ys
    Not holding my breath any longer... They would have buried me 3 months ago if that were the case.

    I say its the same as usual... They just changed the art so we feel like something is happening... lol.

    They never said that it would be this week.

    Brigby in "Ixalan?" thread:  "Fun fact: There is over 30 pages of Ixalan info that Oktagon provided us, so we're reviewing and formatting it as quickly and efficiently as we can, to keep it both as manageable yet informative as possible. This might require us to break it up into chunks, but if that's the case, then we'll schedule them all out as interesting teasers leading up to Ixalan's release!"

      Just sayin'.

    Same as ... Hibernium? That's quite a stretch considering that the only basis to complain is that Ixalan is delayed... whose fault is that? Hibernium, not Oktagon. Delayed because of Booster crafting? That's on us. We've got miles of posts in here on that subject demanding its creation and Oktagon complied... Would Hibernium? Highly doubtful.

    I get it though. We're all impatient to a different degree. It has been 7 months since a set was released. If anything I agree with you about stop being impatient but in my case, I'll reserve judgement when the set is released on schedule and how well it is implemented. Not because I'm jaded by the sins of the predecessor.

    We should all be celebrating the fact that the game we all love [else we wouldn't be in here yammering about it, whether good or bad] is about to get a breath of fresh air. A new dev, a new direction and hopefully a fresher and more entertaining game for us all.

    Whuzza!

    Not sure why you are attacking me??  Scroll back further buddy in the thread you pulled from... Stop trollin' . (Yes, it was 'anticipated' to be early this week for the notes) . Brigby comment at bottom...

    ... and when did I say ANYTHING about Hibernium?? I said that I'm done with being impatient...  SARCASM... Hence the Video... Should have made you laugh... if anything.

    If anything I have been cool with the transition...

    The fact is... They haven't given us much info... They DIDN'T give us a January Q&A response.  They HAVEN'T given us any information about this 30 page report other than now its going to be in 4 chunks... (or so...)

    I hardly even come to this site because of all the whining and complaining...


    Brigby Said ... "" Oktagon was rather generous with the amount of information they provided, so it's taking us some time to proofread and format all of that content. (They even wrote up a detailed Ixalan blog post to accompany it!)

    If I had to set a time-frame, I'd probably say that we anticipate being able to post it early next week. ""
