Why do we have to play Avacyn's Madness instead of the new standard event?

Most of the players may have noticed, that Avacyn's Madness is going to be the upcoming coalition event. 
Just some questions:

Why is it AM instead of the new (standard PvP) event, that comes along within the Ikoria update? I mean, AM is cool as well as almost not boring (for veteran players), but on the other hand it's just another of the nutkicker events for newer players.

Don't you think, that all the Hours of Devastations and Battles of the Four Tribes of the last weeks are enough to make the newer ones feel, that they have indeed a lack of decent OP legacy cards... 

Actually that's already it.
Thanks for answering those questions.

    Hi @coldity,

    Thank you for bringing this up!
    The process of scheduling the weekly events is done a week earlier.
    The timing made it impossible to schedule the new event while the game was still in the old version.

    Thank you again for the feedback,
    Marcela.

    This makes sense. Thanks for the explanation! Looking forward to the new events.

    Thanks for the very quick answer to my initial question. I appreciate this @marcela @Oktagon_Support
    even though I'm a little late to the AM party in here..

    I've seen that the upcoming event after AM is going to be the new "Hunter X ..." event and actually it guides me to another question. 

    Do we get any kind of foregoing informations what exactly this event will contain, maybe during the next week? When Titanomachy was introduced we did, that's why I was curious and thought there's no harm in asking :wink:

    Thanks for any kind of infos in advance :)

    And it seems @Volrak has also started the wiki page here:

    As far as an event thread on that subforum, those usually don’t come until a couple days before.
