As official source says, MTG Arena is ready for big update. It will be released on April 26, and the biggest new feature is Dominaria. All cards from this expansion will be avaliable. Here is quote:
Here’s what’s coming up next:
- Dominaria is releasing for MTG Arena on April 26 and bringing economy updates with it.
- Events are coming! We’re starting out with some best-of-one events, with lots more to come.
- We’ll be hosting a streaming event on April 25 in which we’ll invite some streamers to preview the new economy features and Dominaria—you don’t want to miss out!
We also know many of you are waiting for more news on the economy. We’re still hard at work on testing and tweaking design changes based on player feedback. Look for all the details on April 25—we’ll spell everything out in the forums and a special live stream at 12 p.m. PT.
Dominaria Expansion will try to connect Arena and tabletop players
On April 26, after an extended downtime, Dominaria will be released for MTG Arena. Every legend, every Saga, and every Thallid will be playable. This update will include more visual improvements and a brand-new battlefield.
Developers are starting an experiment with this release that explores ties between the tabletop game and MTG Arena. With the release of Dominaria, they will be performing a limited test of redeemable game codes in New Zealand only. New Zealand booster packs and Prerelease packs will include an in-game code that New Zealand residents can redeem for in-game items in Magic: The Gathering Arena.
The goal is to find ways to bring more value to all kinds of Magic players.
Draft and constructed events are upcoming
The vision for MTG Arena has always been to give players many ways to play. Events are different ways for players to enjoy and utilize the content they’ve earned. Devs are going to start rolling these out in just a few weeks, and you can expect events to keep coming throughout the rest of the year and beyond.
The first events planned to be rolling out will be best-of-one Constructed events starting with the April 26 update. Then best-of-one Draft events starting May 4 will be added. That means you’ll soon be able to draft in MTG Arena! To start, best-of-one Draft events will be available each weekend and best-of-one Constructed events will always be available.
Events are central to MTG Arena and a great way to continually provide more depth of play. Developers will be adding more events moving forward, testing and refining along the way.
To celebrate this big release, devs are planning big events on Twitch and forums on April,25
