1.10 Release Notes *Updated (2/3/17)

Hey Everyone,

Here are the final release notes for the 1.10 update!

New Card Set: Aether Revolt!
We are introducing a new card set to the game: Aether Revolt! This marks the end of the Kaladesh block and the end of it’s storyline.

The set features 55+ new cards which are added to the Kaladesh boosters. Like Oath of the Gatewatch and Eldritch Moon, this is a smaller set that focuses on the best of what Aether Revolt has to offer. Aether Revolt features cards of Uncommon, Rare and Mythic quality, so you can be sure that they’ll be useful.

We’re also putting up two new offers: Whenever you open up a Kaladesh Fat Pack, you get an extra guaranteed Aether Revolt card of uncommon or better quality, and whenever you open a Kaladesh Big Box, you get an extra Aether Revolt booster, which contains a guaranteed Aether Revolt rare or better!

Check out the card set gallery here: Aether Revolt Card Gallery

New Events
We are introducing an array of new events to the game - a brand new coalition challenge, a special Valentine’s Day event as well as two new PvP events based on Kaladesh and Aether Revolt!

Make sure you check back each weekend - the following exclusive cards can be won in special Events:

  • Mechanized Production (Mythic)
    Planar Bridge (Mythic)
    Rishkar’s Expertise (Mythic)
    Baral’s Expertise (Rare)
    Battle at the Bridge (Rare)
    Heroic Intervention (Rare)
    Kari Zev’s Expertise (Rare)
    Sram’s Expertise (Rare)
    Yahenni’s Expertise (Rare)

Coalition Challenge: Revolt Against the Consulate
In this brand new PvE coalition challenge, you will face off against Tezzeret as he is retreating to the Skysovereign. 9 new encounters, spread over 3 chapters, will test your deckbuilding skills. The last encounters are more difficult than anything you’ve encountered before!

As with Avacyn’s Madness, the more victories you earn and the more secondary objectives you complete, the more damage you’ll deal to the event’s boss. Both players and coalitions are ranked by how much damage they have dealt to the boss during the duration of the event. Reach the top brackets before it ends to earn the best rewards!

Valentine’s Day Event
On February 14th, we are also introducing a special Valentine’s Day-themed event: Angel’s Embrace.

In this special PvP event, you can only use red Planeswalkers! The event is also Supercharged, and you will gain double mana from matching gems. There are also no secondary objectives for this event, so you can play however you choose.

PvP Event: Fate is Rarely Fair New Update
This new PvP event will enter the event rotation. Like other PvP events, you’ll choose your strongest Planeswalkers for each node and fight decks created by real players for prestige and power! Focusing on Kaladesh, its objectives are the following:

*Updated to Final Release Notes

Is information on these events going to be posted beforehand? That is usually in the update notes.

Thank you.

Thank you in advance for the fetch lag fix!

Will there be a card preview and a target release date listed?

Haven’t heard anything official yet, but once they’re posted publically I will personally see to it that I have the cards available ASAP on my site!

Thanks for the info! I have a question though. These two bug fixes quoted below, they’re for cards that haven’t been released yet, is that correct?

Is there going to be a list of the bugs that you’ve put into the game in this update?

I like to think my YouTube page had some part to having the Dust Stalker bug fixed icon_e_smile.gif

Reeeeeaaaaally hoping that the lag is fixed once and for all!

One question About Bristeling Hydra (the one mythic we are still missing)
Will it be available for purchase before or after AER is added or will it be only added to the packs?

Is there any actual informative information? Besides the fact that there will be new cards? Mechanics? Other changes? Event descriptions that are not copy & paste? I’m sorry, but this is a really uninformative announcement and, remember, this is supposed to excite us. But what exactly are we supposed to look forward to? At least finally works!

I hate how cynical and sarcastic that makes even me…

Did you fix the bug where Fetch fails to fetch cards some of the time?

Why was it changed in the first place, since it already worked?

also does that mean that Deploy lag has been fixed ?

Not even a release date? I’ve got a mound of boosters waiting to be opened and would like to know when I will be doing this.

sooooo do you think its a little bit much to ask that they actually tell is anything useful about this update?
so far we have a couple of bug fixes, names of events and the name of a card set. thats it. not even a release date or any actual information at all. can you please have the information we need very soon please? perhaps refrain from posting about the next updates until you can actually tell us what they are?

The article about the pro tour team mentioned a release date of 2/2.

Disagree. I would much rather know what is in the works/pipeline and have further details come out closer to the release date than be completely in the dark and guessing about things.

To rephrase my above post:

Finally, works! What a relief! That card was a real mess!

Fair enough, that makes sense.

Guess it wasn’t fixed

What on Earth was redacted – in assuming it is still broken and I’d love to know which card or feature it is so I don’t use it
