PIONEER CHALLENGER DECKS 2022 ON-SALE TOMORROW

Designed for players to get their start in the non-rotating Pioneer format, four pre-constructed decks go on-sale in the MTGO Store tomorrow following downtime. The choices are:
  • Dimir Control
  • Orzhov Humans
  • Gruul Stompy
  • Izzet Phoenix
    • Due to Expressive Iteration’s ban in Pioneer, the MTGO version of Izzet Phoenix swaps in 1 Pieces of the Puzzle and 1 Fiery Impulse
Each deck sells for $24.99 and can be found in the Featured and For New Players tabs in the MTGO store once downtime is complete.


THRONE OF ELDRAINE DRAFT LEAGUE STARTS TOMORROW

Our plane of fairy tales returns to the spotlight – the Throne of Eldraine Draft League starts tomorrow following downtime and lasts until Tuesday, November 15 at 10 a.m. Pacific time (18:00 UTC) - one day shorter than normal.

This is a keep-the-cards League, so it has the usual entry options of 12 Event Tickets, 120 Play Points, or 3 ELD boosters + 2 Event Tickets.


INNISTRAD FLASHBACK ENDS TOMORROW

The annual spooky-themed Flashback to the plane of Innistrad is back – even if it’s a tad later than normal. Draft with classic build-arounds of Burning Vengeance and Spider Spawning, or embrace the transformational power of Werewolves.

This 3x Innistrad Phantom Draft League closes tomorrow at downtime, so be sure to get your games in before the League is gone!


QUALIFIERS THIS WEEKEND

Ready to earn your spot in the next round of tabletop Regional Championships? Your next chance to do so comes this weekend. Four qualifications are on the line between these two events:
  • Pauper Qualifier – Saturday, November 12 at 7 a.m. PT (15:00 UTC)
  • Vintage Qualifier – Sunday, November 13 at 7 a.m. PT (15:00 UTC)
Each Super Qualifier can be joined with 40 Season 3 Qualifier Points. The Top 2 finishers in each event earn an invitation to the Regional Championship served by their country of residence early next year.



DOMINARIA UNITED REDEMPTION - EXTENDED DELAY

Unfortunately, there are still delays in getting product to our facility and to get the process started for selling Dominaria United redemption sets. The estimated date the Tokens will be available in the MTGO Store is now Tuesday, November 29.

Follow us @MagicOnline or in the Forums for any updates to the on-sale date, and for those waiting to order, thank you for your patience.

NEXT DOWNTIME TOMORROW
