Ixalan removed from Standard [Fixed]

No warning here if this was intended, but at midnight Pacific tonight, Ixalan cards were now being marked as invalid cards for the Rising Tensions event. Decks saved with Ixalan cards are being refused to allow play, and attempts to remake the decks are showing that all cards from that set are illegal within Standard.

    I concur. Deck I was playing RT node 1 with 20 mins ago is now invalid.

    Ixalan is still listed as allowed for the event in the event description.

    Agreed Ixalan is not standard in RT.

    @Brigby, @Tombstone, @Oktagon_Daiane are you aware that Ixalan cards are not allowed just now in standard Rising Tension event?

    I am sure that is related with the fact that Guilds of Ravnica has been made craftable and Core set is in medium price.

    And yet they are still being charged full Standard price in Booster Crafting.

    Part of the new standard setup was done, leaving Ixalan in booster crafting, but actually leaving the set in the standard filter was missed! Understandable bug, but can it please be fixed SOOOOOO fast please?

    Pretty please?

    This needs an announcement in the Inbox ASAP too, people are going to freak....

    Yes, another confirmation here; some of my decks in Rising Tension suddenly became unusable because of this sudden removal.

    On a may or may not be related note, Chord of Calling lag seems to be abating in frequency.... are these two things related, somehow?

    I just reported a ticket in game, because I just discovered that I was able to add at least one Ixalan card this morning to my deck. 
    Not able to do so no, so the bug possibly occurred sometime this morning.

    Hi Everyone. The team is aware that Standard events are not accepting Ixalan as a valid card set. While the team was able to prepare a fix for it already, I'm afraid they would still need to test it on Monday, before they're able to properly implement it. 

    We apologize for the inconvenience, but thank you for your patience and understanding!

    Not to pile on, but I think that you should know that the problem is also occurring in Training Ground today.

    it is not only a problem in Rising Tides.

    Everywhere that there was a Standard event was hit.  Now excluding XLN and leaving RIX in led to an odd situation with some rather creative decks from my side - I didn't realise how lazy I was getting in deck building for some PWs.

    Especially for Training Grounds, I actually appreciate this kind of shakeup, even if it was a mistake - IMO, doing this kind of thing, or even giving us (Origins+M19+GRN+couple of random decks) would be an interesting Training Grounds exercise.

    Obviously Event Standard should be Event Standard, but TG - go wild, is my opinion.

    Hi Everyone. Standard events should now allow for Ixalan cards to be used.
