• Changed the Uncommon creature Rocco, Cabaretti Caterer (SNC). Originally this card allowed itself to be picked by its own ability:

  Now this card can no longer pick itself:

• Added Streets of New Capenna (SNC) Vanguard cards in the Exclusive Cards Booster from the Battle from the Ages event.

Fixes

• Fixed the issue with the Disable and Gain Control mechanics, where when an opposing creature was disabled, and the player took control of it, it remained disabled for more turns than expected.

• Fixed the issue where the event Avacyn's Madness was not distinguishing correctly the mechanics Take damage and Lose life. 

• Fixed the issue where Reconfigured tokens were not replaced if the player tried to Gain Control from an opposing creature while having 3 creatures on its own battlefield.

• Fixed the issue where some supports in-game were without their respective subtypes.

• Fixed the issue where the rare creature Liesa Forgotten Archangel (MID) card had only one color (White), instead of two colors (White/Black).

• Fixed the issue where was missing a Legendary Evergreen in the masterpiece creature Olivia Voldaren (VOW) card.

• Fixed the issue where the common spell card Practical Research (STX) was only drawing Cards, not discarding.

• Fixed the issue where the rare spell card Storm the Festival (MID) prompt was not appearing on different cards.

• Fixed the issue where the third ability Improved Golgari Assassins of the Planeswalker Vraska, Golgari Queen was not triggering with Deal Damage and Lose Life.

• Fixed the issue where the game was suffering a soft lock after destroying all gems on the board with seeds.

cool idea but 320 is bloody expensive entry fee. with how bad the ranking system is in the game getting gold for free players is a challange. takes me about 2 weeks to get near 300 gold so i couldnt see my self spending it all on this event.

Dude hell yes.  

You are creating the pq version of the best magic format.

I loved sealed play ( at least I think  that's attempt)

Super pumped  to play this

I agree that 320 is much too high, but I guess they are testing the water after the 100 crystal from BotA.

On the other hand, I don't see any placement prizes in this event. As I read it, you get prizes for victory/ribbons and for participating.

"At the end of the event, if you fought at least once, you'll get the Booster Packs you selected. If you already own all the cards of a Booster Pack, you will receive another randomly selected Jumpstart Theme Booster Pack instead."
So does this mean you're buying the cards for 320 crystals and the progression rewards are just to keep you playing?

Hey @Oktagon_Support can you say more about the new way you're making Vanguards available through Battle from the Ages? Is this a permanent change in policy, or just an experiment? Will new Vanguards continue to be made available through Elite packs?

Also, what Rarity of Vanguards will be in BftA? Currently the cards in the event are all Mythics, so will there be rare SNC Vanguards, and how will these be made available?

There's lots of talk about this elsewhere and it would be helpful if you could be clearer about Vanguards. Thanks!

Hello @TheHunter
In Streets of New Capenna, we only had the 4 Mythic Vanguards of the 4 Planeswalkers and that's why they were only added in the event. We know this is unprecedented, but this is not a policy change, just an exception made in Streets of New Capenna.

Whenever there are enough Vanguards they will be released in the regular Vanguard Boosters as usual! 😁

Thank you for the reply.
