*Here is the September Sneak Peek Thread

3

Thanks,
Apart from the lazy Thursdays I like the schedule! Those are events I haven’t seen in a while

4

With the changes to HoD etc why is RotGP not changed to Legacy as well?

5

What is the detail of beta on 6th Oct., Can we replay it?

6

Standard coalition events with legacy events (and legacy low rewards) again? 2.9 update should have fixed this.

7

Why does this get called a ‘sneak peek’, as opposed to ‘event schedule’?

8

I agree.

Running again RotGP as standard with legacy rewards is a mistake. Please change this.

This is the most played event ever.

People are getting bored to play again and again the same things with the same dupe rewards.

9

ROGP! Why oh why

10

No more standard event except across ixl?
More standard and less legacy please.

11

I know the events have to be tested again before launching them. But is there any way to shelve Return of the God Pharaoh for a while? I know I’m not alone in saying we all got pretty burned out on the event during the great drought.

Seeing events we haven’t encountered for a while would be welcome. Trial of Zeal perhaps?

12

Can Octagon config event duration to 2 days, make it 8 hr recharge & make unlimit hp. we should not be forced to finish the final recharge with unknown expired time.

OR change it to AVM…

13

Hi Brigby
This will be my second Halloween playing MTGPQ. I know that Oktagon were under the pump last year so the Halloween event wasn’t run. Will it be coming up this year? I know Duel Decks is a Big Event, but I would love to break out the zombies, horrors, ghouls and ghosts.

14

1 node. Black.
13 charges upfront.
13 zombie to be summoned as an objective.

Please

15

Just a reminder : the event was enraged and at the time tokens did count for casting objectives. And it was quite difficult for those like me who didn’t had Behold the Beyond.
If tokens don’t count (as it’s usually the case for old events now) it’s going to transform from difficult to tedious…

16

@Brigby

Return of the dog-pharaoh is legacy, not standard.

17

In the event rules it says it is standard, at least in spanish. I hope they forgot to change it.

Which are going to be the objectives? Original or updated? Who knows.

18

That’s the rules, but the icon is the legacy icon.. So it could be anything I assume!

(plus the rewards are legacy as well)

19

Rewards always have been legacy for this event.

20

@Brigby can we ask for comment? Should we play against the rules?
