I heard she was a reward in an event. So, I guess there are not a lot of players who own her. Furthermore, they even put effort into a remake for Kaladesh. It’s about time that she is offered in the vault.
And I don’t think that her release would impact the release of others. They could release both in one week if they want to…
Saheeli Rai was a reward for an event last year that gave players that participated the ability to be the first have her on their roster. We plan to release this awesome Planeswalker to everyone sometime in the future and will announce the details once we have confirmation on the dates this will happen. Thank you for the interest and questions regarding her release.
All these hypes for Saheeli is only going to raise her price when she’s released. So let’s do ourselves a favor by pretending that we don’t care about her release anymore.
So the last event seems to be that you only got the win in 5 turns or less objective if you had Saheeli. So the players with an advantage already from having this PW got an advantage in the current event. …Way to cater to the 1%. The moderators preach of making the events fair and fun. What’s fun about loosing out on placement due to not having a planeswalker. An equal playing field would be nice. I’m all about rewarding top finishers with mythics early, but handicapping 99% of people by offering pw that give an advantage in future events, doesn’t seem right.
There are a lot of requests to see a YouTube video of the moderator who stated the win in 5 turns is achievable with blue, I’ll take that a step further and say show it to us without using Saheeli
I can confirm that it is possible with Kiora to get the blue win in 5 rounds with all energy. Basic approach is to trigger green cascades using prism array to keep feeding in cards and then summon something huge and constantly reinforce it. The approach certainly isn’t perfect (missed the objective more than half the time) but the deck still needs refining. I actually had better luck with this approach than with using Saheeli but I’m missing a lot of the red haste mythics (olivia and firebird).’
This is not say the blue objective is good, just to say its possible without Saheeli.
Was cheating a thing back then? I ask because I lost I think 6 or 7 matches (Primarily app crashes; full points the rest) on the first iteration of the event and scored her anyway… Silver tier at the time.
On the subsequent replays I intentionally had to throw matches at the end to avoid “stealing” her from others.
There certainly weren’t reports of cheating back then and I was one of those who did manage to get her and it wasn’t with a perfect score. The big issue back in those days was crashing during play and losing nodes.
