Streets of New Capenna is now released!
- New packs (now buyable with gold) and Mythic Boosters are available in the store
- A new Mastery Pass is now available (including new avatars from each of the 5 families)
- New draft and sealed formats are available in Events (including reworked rewards for Traditional Draft to support Arena’s new Premier Play)
- New packets are now in Jump In! (Including the first three-color packets)
- New cosmetics are now available in the store (as well as several returning avatars)
Explorer is a new format now available on Arena! It includes all of the cards legal in Pioneer that are on Arena and will be managed to match tabletop as closely as possible. It features all of the queues, constructed events, and other features you’ll find in Standard, Alchemy, or Historic.
Deck limit increased to 100 (from 75)
Your current vault progress is now always visible. Mouseover or tap on the wildcard display in the main nav bar to see it
Players can now open boosters in any amount from 1 to 10 at once – if you have 5 boosters you can open all 5.

Notable Bug Fixes

Fixed a bug that prevented the styled versions of rebalanced cards from being used as commanders in Brawl
Addressed multiple issues that got some players stuck in the Color Challenges. If you’ve been blocked, please try again! (And, if problems persist, please contact Customer Support)
Fixed a bug that caused some larger avatars to display smaller than intended on the matchmaking screens
Fixed a rare bug where disconnecting while drafting (even invisibly) could fail to reconnect you to the draft properly, creating odd errors

Gameplay

We’ve updated how we present count badges for cards with abilities that care about having “at least” some number.
- Now, on the battlefield you’ll see a highlight on the border which grows as the count gets closer. Once it crosses the threshold, the whole badge lights up.
- In hand and while mousing over, you’ll actually see the fraction for an even clearer communication of where the card stands.
Cards with modal abilities that only trigger once per turn now grey out the abilities that have been chosen.
We’ve updated land frames such that when a land has been modified to tap for exactly two colors, we now use a two color frame to make it clearer what they can tap for.
Autotop is now better at understanding if a target-dependent discounted cost refers to a valid target. In practice, this means you won’t be offered as many stops where you go “I can’t actually use that.”
In many cases, cards on the stack that have alternative or optional additional casting costs will now show that cost greyed out if it wasn’t paid, to make it clearer how the card will behave.
We changed the way right clicking a card to “examine” it renders, but it’s really subtle and most people probably won’t notice. You will though, because you read patch notes.
Added icons for Must Attack, Must Block, and Must Be Blocked.
Improved icons for Can’t Attack and Can’t Block.
