Wizards of the Coast has revealed a number of events taking place within MTG Arena over the coming weeks, along with plans to resolve the Innistrad: Crimson Vow update issues.Â
Following problems with the Nov. 18 update to MTG Arena, the patch was eventually reverted. WotC has scheduled an update with those original changes to take place on Nov. 29. And on Dec. 1, MTG Arena will be down for a short time due to a separate update.Â
A number of events are scheduled to take place within MTG Arena over Thanksgiving and in early December. From Dec. 4 to 5, the MTG Arena Open returns, showcasing gameplay in VOW Traditional Draft. And during the holiday week, players can earn cosmetics and gold via the Wedding Crashers and The Gathering events.
MTG Arena events
The Gathering, an MTG Arena all-access Singleton event, is scheduled to take place from Nov. 24 to 28. Players can build a 60-card deck with any Standard-legal card without having to worry about unlocking cards with Wildcards. Singleton events can only have one copy of a card within the 60-card deck. The first win rewards players with a Cathartic Reunion card sleeve and a second win contains an Halana and Alena avatar. There’s no entry fee and MTG Arena players can compete any number of times.Â
Wedding Crashers will take place from Nov. 29 to Dec. 8. The Standard event allows for up to three copies of each card for a 60-card deck. Upon casting a spell that matches a spell in your graveyard or on the battlefield, you collect two Blood tokens. The format for Wedding Crashers is best-of-one with up to four wins or two losses. The banned cards are Grand Master of Flowers, Legion Angel, Omnath, Locus of Creation, Wretched Throng, and Yasharn, Implacable Earth. Â
Rewards include Showcase Fang card styles and gold. An entry fee of 2,000 gold or 400 gems is required to participate in the Wedding Crashers MTG Arena event.Â
