I was incorrect on WeeklyMTG today--there are more Mystical Archive cards still to be revealed! #wotcstaff

That isn't what was said. Carmen was pretty clear that that was the top of the metagame, but that there were a variety of viable decks. Heard on tournament support, but that wasn't the stream was about nor are Jadine and Carmen on the team that works on that. #wotcstaff.

As always, we'll be on WeeklyMTG tomorrow (23 hours from this post) to discuss all of this and whatever questions you may have! Feel free to drop any questions/thoughts here and we'll cover what we can. #wotcstaff

I can tell you’re passionate about the topic, which is wonderful, but if you’re going to attack me I’m going to disengage. Have a good rest of your day.

We don’t have to use it on every post. That’s not what it’s for. But if you want to just attack me, I’m going to step away. Have a good rest of your day.

If tagging a company in a social media post made something official, we'd be living on an even worse version of social media. #wotcstaff

What the other responder to your question said is correct. Anyone can buy prerelease kits if stores want to sell them. #wotcstaff

We didn't sponsor this and it wasn't even an official prerelease. Eric was just down there playing with some people he happened to know. Just because they tagged us doesn't mean we're involved. #wotcstaff

We talked about this on the stream. Short version: it’s a correct story moment for Shadowheart that also goes with a semi-popular background (Master Chef). So it was intentional for both flavor and gameplay. That said, totally get why you feel this way. #wotcstaff

Prerelease dates are not driven by preview windows, it's the other way around. #wotcstaff

The holidays are the reason we're running the test here. I do see why that paragraph leads to other conclusions. #wotcstaff

I'm seeing a lot of takes on why Lorwyn Eclipsed preview season is short. It's pretty simple: It's because of the holidays. A normal 2-week preview season would have started Dec. 29 or 30, when our offices are (rightfully) closed. Enjoy your holidays and we'll see you Jan. 5 #wotcstaff

For the final WeeklyMTG of 2025, Blake is throwing a #MTGxMarvel party as a gift to himself. You can come too. Join Blake, and special guests @wachelreeks.com and Gabriel Luna at 10AM Pacific over at twitch.tv/Magic!
The earth sits close as a giant figure of Doctor Doom stands behind it. A metal gauntlet clad hand wreathed with blue electrical light descends on North America as only Doctor Doom's eyes are visibile beneath the iconic metal mask and green hood. A cosmic backdrop acts as the background as faint embers can be seen at the bottom of the image.

So why do I keep going on and on about OMENS OF CHAOS? A couple of reasons.

Hey. Just wanted to remind y'all that this is coming. Look. Look! I convinced Wizards of the Coast to let me write a print MAGIC THE GATHERING novel!

Announcing the 2027 Magic Limited Championship #mtg #MagicLimitedChampionship The upcoming Magic Limited Championship is a special tournament that puts the focus on Limited. The MLC will take place in 2027. 3 days, $500k prize pool, Top 8 to Worlds
 Announcing the 2027 Magic Limited Championship
October 21, 2025
Wizards of the Coast

It's time for high stakes, massive prizes, and a competition that brings Limited to the center stage. It's everything a Limited aficionado could dream of—and then some. Today, we're announcing a special event and supporting tournament structure for 2026–27. Start memorizing your pack 1, pick 1s; it's time for the Magic Limited Championship!
What Is the Magic Limited Championship?

The upcoming Magic Limited Championship is a special tournament that puts the focus on Limited, supported by events across the world that will let the best Limited players qualify for this high-level Limited extravaganza. The Magic Limited Championship will take place in 2027, with qualifying events held in 2026. This is a new and exciting initiative, but for now we're announcing just this event and its qualifying path. It's not a new series.

The Magic Limited Championship will take place in 2027, with the exact date and location to be announced. It will be an exciting, Limited-filled three-day tournament with structures similar to the Pro Tour. But, you know, Limited formats only. Keep an eye on Magic.gg and our social media channels for more information about this event as we get closer.

It's super fun and there are a bunch of ways to build it. It's currently my favorite deck. #wotcstaff

blakepr.bsky.social @blakepr.bsky.social · 16/10/2025
I hear you, and keeping and/or restoring trust is a big thing I'm focused on. That said, there's a difference between "here's how things are for the foreseeable future" and "here's how things are forever." We shouldn't ever say the second one. We say the first one all the time.

blakepr.bsky.social @blakepr.bsky.social · 16/10/2025
Without specifics, I couldn't speak to it specifically. But I can say that as long as I've been here we've not stopped working with someone just because they said something negative. We've stopped for other reasons, but we don't make them public because we're not out to badmouth people.

blakepr.bsky.social @blakepr.bsky.social · 16/10/2025
I get that frustration. It sounds like it's still for you, but I hear you. Part of the reason we expanded to 3 year Standard was to let people play their decks. Are you regularly RCQing? FNM? What's your Standard play experience of choice?

blakepr.bsky.social @blakepr.bsky.social · 16/10/2025
If you already don't trust me, how can I answer that question? Or any question? I'd love to engage and discuss, but I feel at a disadvantage when the lead in is that you don't trust what I say.

I read that differently, but I also know Mark personally, so that certainly colors my read.

Totally! My MTG motto is much the same--we all start from a place about being passionate about Magic. That's an awesome place to start from. We should be so lucky to have that in common. #wotcstaff

blakepr.bsky.social @blakepr.bsky.social · 16/10/2025
I'll respond! I get that coming away with that ick, but that's just not how our processes work here. Fishing for a predetermined answer doesn't help us at all and isn't how we discuss or review data internally. You ever discuss data with a room of Magic players? It's that.

blakepr.bsky.social @blakepr.bsky.social · 16/10/2025
I very much don't think anyone said they were whining by anyone working for WotC. If anyone did say that, I'd like to know, because that's not cool (or accurate).

blakepr.bsky.social @blakepr.bsky.social · 16/10/2025
No...I'm saying we are looking at the full ecosystem and players see their slice. They're different views. Both can be true that a local scene is suffering but the full ecosystem is not. No one here is lying. It's not one or the other.
