@Magic:PQ Support Team Today you are running the "wrong" version of RP Green. The Dominaria United version is running while the rest of the week (the other colors) were running The Brothers' War.

Edit: I see you are running it according to the schedule as planned. What's the reason for not running RP Green BRO?

Magic:PQ Support Team

@Machine RP Green BRO had an issue that will only be fixed with the next release. Next run of the BRO edition should be complete. ^^

Are we playing the old TitSevent this weekend?

The release notes mentioned that Terrors in the Shadows has switched from legacy back to standard with adjusted objectives.

Thanks. I missed that. Just found it odd that all of Innistrad was legacy and they scheduled a standard Innistrad event.

Agree... Seems odd to me as well. Scheduling an event that revolves around Vampires while just rotating out MID and VOW.

TiS is scheduled for opt-in today 00:00 UTC and start Saturday 00:00 UTC but the event is currently not accessible.
Please take a look at this.

Please update Family Business to be legacy in the event details forum. Ty.

Once again can I express my displeasure, after a Standard rotation, that so many old Standard events (Matrimonium, The Harvesttide, The Kamigawa Run, Family Business) have rotated into Legacy, where they'll become largely indistinguishable from so many other Legacy events. I'd much rather see old Standard events drop into a block format, or remain in Standard (perhaps with modified objectives if that's necessary).

It's a nice idea to have Terror in the Shadows and Race to Orazca converted into Standard, altho having played Terrors in the Shadows now, it wasn't great that it featured tribal objectives for tribes which aren't prominent in Standard.
