Planeswalker Arena Event in FAQ section?

Ampersand

I was poking around in the Help Center (FAQ) tab and noticed this in there, along with the following text:

"Every weekend, you can compete in this PvP event. The twist here is that this event consists of three nodes, two of which are locked to specific Planeswalkers. You can play with any Planeswalker on the third node. 

Make sure not to miss it - with small leaderboards of 500 players, anyone can take first place!"

When will this event be available? Can you share any more details? @Oktagon_Support

This is one of the old Hibernium events.  It didn't last very long, due to absolutely horrible execution by the team at the time.  The walkers in the locked nodes were never available for purchase while the event was running, and the objectives usually forced you to play totally opposite to each walker's abilities (for example, Garruk would have a "Summon no creatures" objective, making his abilities unusable).

Every once in a while someone asks Oktagon to bring back a fixed version of this event, but so far they've gained about as much traction as my long-standing petition to bring back the mana symbol loading wheel (that is: 0)

Thanks @Mburn7 that must be a pretty old event then. I started playing just before Amonkhet came out and don't remember it from back then. They really should remove it's info from the FAQ section!

Haha no worries, that's why I'm still poking around on here.  I like being that random old guy telling tales of the way back when 

That being said, @Oktagon_Support it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to bring back an updated and fixed version of this event now.  Maybe bring it up to the team?  Its a great way to boost sales of some of the more niche walkers and boost player morale since its a new event that rewards them for having a big roster and doesn't require a lot of complexity (since the event doesn't have any node supports or special rules or anything).

With lots of planeswalkers available today, it might be fun to have this as a regular event to showcase each planeswalker. I might be dreaming, but we could access unpurchased pws (like we do in Duel Decks) and the objectives could be designed to actually help you make good use of the featured pw. Sounds like a good ad to me

That mystery was solved quickly

Did everyone see the "COMING SOON" update?
