Are we going back to having legacy PvP events? This is going to be brutal if so.

    Ouch. This will be a bloodbath. Bad idea.

    No, no, no. And again: no. Sub optimal choice of constellation

    As a platinum player with a limited legacy collection I would prefer not to have a legacy pvp event. PvE is fine but please don't make me play against folks who have been playing for several years and have a much bigger card collection

    Yuck. I barely have any boast or snow cards. Would really suck to let my coalition down because I’m trying to beat legacy decks with Omni and moxen with an ice hide troll.

    A bad idea, but you never listen anyway ...

    Block restricted would make sense and be fun, but pushing this to Legacy is not a good idea.

    Yes, it should be block, like the WAR events.

    As much as I like the idea (and the associated challenge), it’s not good and fair to new and newer players.

    If it’s going to be block restricted, then it’s OK. The playing field might not be levelled, but it’s definitely not so extremely tilted in veteran’s favour.

    I would like to offer the alternative viewpoint, that while block restriction may solve one problem, it creates another. I Thank You for making recent events not require cards from specific sets. DC, though, resurrects this problem, and block would make it worse.

    Apart from the issues and possible solutions mentioned above, block restricted events have a lot of flavor which gets nullified if it's being pushed to legacy. We all know that there are lots of players that don't care for objectives and just jam their most powerful decks on the nodes to get to maximum progression rewards. That's very frustrating, to say the least, for players that want to reach all objectives. @Oktagon_Support Can you please give us your take on this and also why this event has been shifted to legacy? And while you are at it, it would have been very nice of you if you would have at least reacted to all the Avacyn's Madness commotion when you got back from your well deserved holidays.

    Hey everyone,
    Just to let you know that we've replaced the Doomskar Claimants event with the A World Reborn event.
