It’s coming tomorrow
Just ahead of the newstandard rotationforMagic: The Gathering, theArenateamhas posted a “state of the game” blogto give folks a heads-up on what to expect in the near and far future.
As a reminder, rotation is a yearly event that serves as a fairly big shakeup for the competitive standard community, in which several sets are cycled out of the game and are no longer “standard legal.” So as of tomorrow;Guilds of Ravnica,Ravnica Allegiance,War of the Spark and Core 2020are out. In the wake of that shakeup,Throne of Eldraine,Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths,Theros: Beyond Death,Core 2021andZendikar(which is out the day of rotation) will remain.
Zendikar really is the big focus here, as 280 new cards are plopping intoArena. Along with the set,Arenais also getting an emote customization system, more keywords to juggle, Zendikar events and renewal gifts (for players who have accounts active before the latest set actually arrives). As for future content, the mobile version is still “coming,”KaladeshRemastered is in development, anotherhistoric anthology setis on the way and UI rework and deck sharing mechanics are in “concept” stages.
Now just shore up the mastery pass system and most ofArena‘s issues will have been solved at this point.
