This tip has literally changed my life. Thank you!

What other search terms does the search bar understand?!

Deck Builder: Advanced Search :)

Hey everyone,

We realized belatedly that we had sent outdated decklists to the good folks at DailyMTG. We pulled the article for now until we can get it updated with the correct information. That's on us, and we apologize for any confusion:

  1. The checklands are still in the dual colored decks; there are no changes to the dual colored decklists with this update, just how you receive them (through the mastery tree and player progression).
  2. There are changes to the monocolored decks because you unlock upgrades with the new progression system, however once those ungrades are unlocked you'll end up with the same deck as would have previously received (pending you haven't made any other changes, of course).

  1. It looks like the graphic settings are now defaulting to "Ultra" instead of "Low", which is not intended. We're looking into this.
  2. If you want to tweak specific things like Frame Limiter, you need to have your graphics set to Custom.

Thanks for the call out, going to go add this to the patch notes!

Re: Sealed - It's a typo!

Internal patch note was 'rating', which my brain and/or my keyboard auto-corrected to 'ranking' at some point. It's been fixed, and the patch note now reads:

  • Updates to matchmaking in the Sealed queue so players with similar MMR are more likely to match against each other.

We've been using MMR as secondary check in our Sealed matchmaking since December, and this is update is one of those adjustments we predicted we would have to make. Your Win/Loss record is still the primary factor when determining your opponents.

Apologies for the confusion, and if you have any other feedback RE: the matchmaking adjustments with this update please continue to share them!

Couple of things to confirm:

  • Yes, these are the new rewards from the NPE. It was released via email today, subject line: "A Beautiful March Update" .
    • ... we ultimately went with a non-unique code, so if you didn't get the email it's okay.
  • This code covers both the new rewards from the Mastery Tree (Luminous Bonds, Divination, Doomed Dissenter, Viashino Pryomancer, Llanowar Elves) and player progression (Meteor Golem, Card Sleeve)
  • This is the only code you'll be getting for the NPE rewards.
    • ... but we're going to have other codes. :)
