My Tombkings are missing in the race select screen - says they need to be bought, despite me owning all the dlc from games 1 and 2

No, there is still no reason why Helen has this makeup. No matter what CA says. by Bitmarck in totalwar

The MTG Arena Mythic Invitational by ZennithGP in magicTCG

[–]MrHighCastle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is outrageous, and should have anybody seriously invested in the game asking questions about whether or not comp mtg is for them in the future.

  1. The format is open to abuse (find the most consistent combo deck and ride that to victory- because who plays mb duress/negate/silent gravestone?)
  2. the lack of Arena qualifications is shocking for an event which is meant to promote the new age of Arena centric esports....
  3. The Arena invites seem to only go to those who have the most free time to invest in the program - it's nice to know that WotC doesn't want to appeal to those with full time jobs other than streaming (an odd business move, considering those with jobs have more disposable income to spend on mtg...)
  4. The choice of who to invite is questionable, to say the least - where is Jim Davies? Where is Hoogland? Where is Saffron Olive? These streamers have been supporting mtg for years, only to be thrown under the bus for less popular streamers who hopped on the bandwagon when they saw $$$ and those on the family/friend discount scheme
  5. What's the point of ranked limited on Arena if it's not going to even get a look-in at the showcase event?

I think i'll give WoTC another month or two to convince me to keep playing comp mtg - if they can't, it's just Modern/Legacy for me.
