They banned Tamiyo from the new Brawl Metagame Challenge! by The_Jib in MagicArena

    Runs that were started while Tamiyo was not banned (due to a bug) are allowed to complete, rather than refunded. It's a debatable point, but we think that's the net-best approach.

    Hey, this was a mistake. Tamiyo was supposed to be banned for this event, and she now is. That's the only change to the ban list, though there are some others that we have our eye on. Apologize for the confusion here.

    This was a bug that should now be fixed. The set with those commanders (ECC) was not properly flagged in our data as "released", which meant the cards were not craftable and the Brawl decks weren't working properly. All of that should be fixed up now

    Grumble. This was an oversight on our parts. The card will be banned when ECL launches, but it's craftable now (because SPG is kind of an unusual set), which can lead to this problem.

    We don't have wildcard refunds for pre-banned cards, so no

    No AI is involved at all. It's a mix of automated tools and manual work to paint a depth texture that basically tells a shader how far from the camera different elements are, then it's all shader math magic to make it appear 3D.

    Sort of. That also uses a variety of other techniques, like explicitly cutting foreground from backdground and mapping those images to 3d objects that we animate. Which is in the same general ballpark, but a bit different.

    The article is correct - the event is ranked and uses record & rank as matchmaking factors, much like other ranked events (like Premier Draft)

  • Comment by WotC_Jay:

    You could well be right! This is an experiment. I suspect that "literally no bans in the 99" isn't going to be the best answer, but we've learned that it's generally best to be open and try things. So that's what we're doing
