In this week’s MTG Arena Announcements, there’s nothing too out of ordinary other than one detail: Alchemy Dominaria United should be coming to MTG Arena on October 6, coinciding with the event schedule (Into the Future and Premier Draft). Furthermore, the Ajani avatar will be returning to normal and players will be receiving a refund for the Matt Jukes Lands that are permanently bugged and will not be returning to the game for the time being.
As always, check out the full post by Wizards of the Coast below!
Premier Play This Weekend!
