Happy Wednesday everybody, and welcome to this week’s installment of the MTG Arena Announcements. Each week, Wizards of the Coast publishes a news column detailing all of the upcoming excitement in the world of MTG Arena.
Today’s announcement comes just one day before the newest set, Innistrad: Crimson Vow, is released on Arena and MTGO. You can find all of the card previews below:
Much of the announcements are centered on the upcoming release and new offers available in the store. Below, we’ll provide you with a quick summary of all of the new information from the announcements bulletin, and you’ll find the full post from Wizards at the bottom of the page.
Crimson Vow Releases on Arena Tomorrow; New Cosmetics Available in the Store
As mentioned above, the full Crimson Vow set arrives on MTG Arena tomorrow, Thursday, November 11. In addition to the spoilers gallery linked above, you can also find more information about the set and its integration into Arena in last week’s State of the Game article.
In addition to the packs and preorder bundles which were covered in previous announcements, two new cosmetics bundles will be going on sale: a sticker bundle which includes three new sticker emotes, and the Crimson Vow dual land bundle which grants card styles for all five of the new dual lands. Either bundle can be purchased for 5,000 gold or 1,000 gems.

Crimson Vow Limited Events
As with every new set, Premier Draft and Traditional Draft for Crimson Vow will also be kicking off tomorrow. Sealed Crimson Vow and Traditional Sealed will also be available starting tomorrow and running until December 3.
Reminder: New Jump In! Packets and Changes to Draft Pods
To accompany Crimson Vow and the changes it will be bringing to Standard, Wizards will also be adding ten new themed packets to the pool of the Jump In! event featuring the new cards. You can check out the packets that are being added on the official event page.
Another change that will be coming to the client with this update concerns Draft Pods. Players will no longer be able to see the other players’ names or avatars in their draft pods. Wizards says that this is to accommodate the December Arena Open which will be featuring the Draft format.
Both of these changes were originally detailed in the State of the Game; see here for more info.
