@Magic_PQ_Support_Team Is there a particular reason why you are no longer updating the sneak peek?

They are sort of updating in the in-game FAQ but it’s been pretty halfhearted. They’ve not even bothered to give us information on the new event; Mages Tower.

@Magic_PQ_Support_Team : There is no page in the Event subforum for Mage Towers. Can you please add it? Thanks!

PS: it seems smaller mistakes like this happen more often than not. Is this a sign on the wall that this game no longer has your focus?

Hey, @Machine !

The info has been there since the release, but maybe the new navigation system made it harder to find?
In any case, we’ve just pinned the two new events in the Event Details forum for the next few weeks, so it’s easier to find the info.
Also, it’s here: Mage Tower - #15 by Magic_PQ_Support_Team

@Magic_PQ_Support_Team Mage Duel event is still not appearing in the event feed and the opt-in should have started several hours ago (assuming UTC time). Will it start at all?

EDIT: The event appeared now with Clans of Tarkir, but they are starting at 13.00 UTC.

Where is this event? It should have been yesterday, but there is no event today.

10

@Tolkne That event has been replaced. We apologise for the miscommunication and will check that the current schedule is correct.

11

This weekend’s Coalition event has been replaced.

But no worries, the new event is scheduled for the next weekend. :wink:

12

@Magic_PQ_Support_Team any chance you’ll be able to add an event detail page for Tainted Darkness since you’re running it again? It’s unbelievable that you haven’t already done so. @S0kun are you able to help them with this?

@Sarah Yes! Both this and some other missing pieces of documentation are to be added in the next two weeks.
If any of you would like to highlight any events or planeswalkers you miss, you can just reply to this message.

Thanks, folks!
