Estragon

"Clans of tarkir" event just went up with few hours delay and with an entry fee of 20 gold even though it was described as "no entry fee" in the forum description. Please check and fix @Magic:PQ Support Team

EDIT : the 20 gold event was ended and a new with no entry free has been added. Guess anyone that entered the 20 gold event is out 20 gold in the process

EDIT 2 : properly received the 20 gold refund in my inbox, thanks !

Magic:PQ Support Team

The entry fee will be refunded to everybody that entered the paid version of the event. There's no need to open a ticket for that, all should receive it as soon as we finish listing all the affected players.

Tolkne

I wanted to ask ... when will the PW will be available to the Animatou and the new Bolas in this rotation PW?
Animatou and new Bolas came out in December, and now May. It has been half a year already ...
I don't know who to contact the next PW rotation, I would like to see both of the gold crystals.

Thanks in advance for the answer

Magic:PQ Support Team

@Tolkne Bolas Planeswalker should be out by June 1st, and Aminatou is currently scheduled for June 15th.

KaizerDestiny

I have to say you guys are really making this game interesting again. However I do have a question. Why is it that I can't display all planeswalker's ability at max investment (lv 60) outside of picking them up for real money in the store? Why keep their abilities restricted from view?

Also, when can we expect a green,white,red Planeswalker? It's been almost 9 years since OG Nicol Bolas and we still missing those colors.

Ishigami

I was asking myself the same question a few weeks back on how long it will take for a new Tricolored Planeswalker to appear...or rather when we will have all three-colour combinations covered.

After coming back to the game after nearly 2 years of absence I was a a bit surprised that we are still missing 3 three-colour combinations..

Besides Green/Red/White (Naya) as you've mentioned we are also still missing Black/Green/White (Abzan) and Black/Blue/Green (Sultai) 🤔

Hopefully during this summer we will get new Planeswalkers in these colour combinations...

And yes indeed - I came back to the game because of the mostly exciting and interesting Planeswalkers and Sets released in the last 2 years (except Ocelot...whoever thinks that 2-card combos are a good idea in Standard needs to learn to get a real feeling for the game and a good judgment of the meta. But it makes you think...is it possible for someone - who made that bad decision in the first place - to truly realize it after..?)

(By the way...please put Quintorius Kand in the Vault..)

EDIT: So after my intuition told me that something felt off bc it seemed so odd that 3 out of 10 possible three-colour combinations are still missing...I've decided to research a bit and discovered that there are - as of right now - no Planeswalkers in those colour combinations...

Estrid - like Tamiyo - is Bant and another version of Dihada is Grixis
Urza and Jared are 5-coloured Planeswalkers...
(There is a 5th Bolas too - Grixis of course)

Huatli would've been and still could be a solid solution for Green/Red/White (Naya) bc all three colours are part of her identity - ofc only if WotC ever decides to complete those missing colour-combinations...
