    @Brigby who will be the featured planeswalker for ToS?  Whoever it is, we'll want another chance to buy it in the Vault before the event.

    The featured Planeswalker will be Liliana, Death's Majesty.

    Am I seeing this correctly? Are they really bringing back Trial of the Planes? I think that would actually be pretty awesome. I enjoy the event, and the payout is pretty solid. Just so long as the boosters are for Ixalan and not some older set.

    Thanks @Brigby! Can you confirm that she will be in the Vault again before the event starts?

    One Standard event and one Legacy event. Sounds like a win win to me :)

    Thanks Brigby! Can you confirm that she will be in the Vault again before the event starts? 
    Unfortunately I don't seem to have that specific info just yet.

    Please make it happen if you can! Hopefully it's fair to ask for a chance to buy an older planeswalker again if it's going to make an unexpected return for an event. I do like bringing these older events back.

    the question above mine, and the one above that are really really important.

    Please say yes to everything :-)

    @UweTellkampf be careful what are you wishing for. It's hard to believe but I think this event can be made for more miserable - example: change refresh to 4 hours to ensure there is something to do whole weekend...

    You are right, @Szamsziel, one should never utilize abstract or imprecise arguments/questions around here. On the other hand, since there is so much wrong with this event, and so many good suggestions are being delivered by the community how to improve it, I’ll just still stay on only:

    Make it suck less, please.

    Trial of the planes still at 60 crystals?

    With Timezones, Australia is in a weird place, we are ahead 10/11 hours.
    Very very often in the past we get to Friday night here, I've finished work and can finally relax and have extra time and there is basically nothing to do beyond the normal daily stuff which is over fast.

    This time _might_ fix that a bit, with OGW2 being on at a roughly good time and TotP being back...
    The next week with RatC won't be as useful since that will be finished earlier.

    Things are complicated though, I totally understand, some people play more during the week, others during the weekend, some people are complaining about the weekend events but for me they are better, the problem I have with them is Monday morning when I'm back at work but the event is still running and I have stuff to fit in somehow...

    It's impossible to balance things completely for everyone. I'm not looking for a specific outcome, I just want everyone aware that their own requirements are not universal, their own frustrations are not universal.

    We often end up annoyed at different ends of the same stick and moving it to help one group will make it worse for others...

    There aren't any easy solutions, just be understanding of everyone!

    Yes. Trial of the Planes is still at 60 Mana Crystals.
    But, it only has 2 charges per node instead of 3. This means, we need not to lose any match to get the last reward. A note in the sneak peek would have been kind

    A reminder to @Brigby that we'll want to see Liliana, Death's Majesty available in the Vault again before ToS launches with her as the featured planeswalker.
