All of my opponents so far are racing for the world record of number of misplays against Phyrexian Censor in a single game. Slow down and think carefully if this is in play, y'all. Flipping a battle counts, among other things.
Phyrexian Censor
{2}{W}
Creature — Phyrexian Wizard

Each player can’t cast more than one non-Phyrexian spell each turn.

Non-Phyrexian creatures enter tapped.

Quintorius muffled a sob as he watched the thing that was once Professor Pitnik “confiscate” yet another priceless historical tome.

Arena Weekly Announcements says Contender Drafts are now their own matchmaking queue magic.wizards.com/en/news/mtg-...
A new Contender Draft event featuring Magic: The Gathering | The Hobbit begins today and runs through September 29! Structured like Premier Draft but with its own matchmaking queue and prizing more akin to a competitive event (…)

Congratulations to the Arena team for finally solving the hard problem of “counting how many boxes we have” (good move though, and this was probably harder to implement than it seems) magic.wizards.com/en/news/mtg-...
ARENA DIRECT (NEW UPDATE)
With this release we are adding a new feature for Arena Direct events where they can "sell out" based on a limited number of entries. Once the event hits its entry limit, players will no longer be able to enter that event and its banner will move to the bottom of the event screen and indicate that the event has sold out. Players already entered in the event will still have until the end of the event's duration to finish their matches. This should greatly reduce the need for replacement event reward.

Relatedly, SCG confirmed to me that a paper LCQ winner can play in the Swiss rounds for other paper LCQs and receive prize wall tickets, but will be excluded from the Top 32 draft
Yes! A player already qualified can continue to play in additional Limited Championship Qualifiers. You just would not advance to the Top 32 draft, as the only prize there is the Qualification and you can't hold more than one.

Please let me know if you have any further questions!

Some new info on the Arena Limited Championship: - The only prizes will be qualifications to the Limited Championship, no gems or cash - Paper LCQ winners cannot play (Source: Wizards help desk ticket response to my inquiry)
The Arena Limited Championship will not have further prizes beyond invites to the paper Limited Championship. For that reason, players already qualified to the Limited Championship will not be allowed to compete for the sake of maintaining tournament integrity and avoiding the risk of collusion. Thanks for checking.

First #MTGSOS trophy. GUx wasn't open at all, but GU X was. Math Crabs came mid-pack and were enough to let the mediocre X commons be a gameplan. Probably just worse than soup but a pivot that could hang. Mostly though I just want to say X gon' give it to you

3-1 #MTGECL prerelease Champion of the Weird vastly underperformed. Rarely had spots where the activated ability was useful at all. Without creatures that want counters, it was kind of just bad here. Bloodline Bidding was mediocre as expected. Would have preferred a 1B double Raise Dead.

At this point, it's clear Through The Omenpaths #MTGOM1 needs to change something to reenergize interest. How about a re-reskin? A few ideas: 1. Insatiable Rubes 2. Consume-O, Serial Pack-Cracker 3. Unsustainable Product Schedule (cast it on Turn 1 for maximum effect) 4. Overexploited Player Base

I really strive to avoid schadenfreude in this game and to be 100% kind to all. But. I will admit to just laughing when my opponent in my 🏆 game in an Arena Direct run: - T2: Wurmwall Sweeper, bins two good nonlands - T3: miss land drop, go - T4: plays a bonus sheet land - I squint at the card name
Manascrewed opponent draws a land that does not produce mana

Will they actually just use Tormenting Voice for the Arena version? I vote yes I also think they should be ruthlessly mocking with the common Legend renames, e.g. “Colossal, Dread Maw” and “Filler, White 5-Drop Flier”
