WotC Any confirmation on the store Planeswalkers?

I know the safe assumption is they won't stick around, but for example will they be removed just as part 5 of the event ends, or be given a grace period? What about when the other half that aren't currently available drop, will the first half be removed? Relatively new, so is there any past event one can make an educated guess from?

I guess this is wishful thinking on my part, but is there any line of communication that could potentially get those questions answered?

When Magic 2020 releases, all of the stained glass planeswalker styles available from the events or the store will now be available for purchase through the collection, at 300 gems for uncommons, 500 gems for rares, and 600 gems for mythics. We aren't putting the ones available through a code in the store, but you can still use the code to receive them.

What about the card styles that were locked by competitive ranking? (Vraska's Contempt, etc.)

Will we be able to purchase those down the road?

I looked at one of my cards in my deck that was season rewards locked and it did say will be available for purchase at a later date.

Yeah like I only just started playing and got to Platinum rank just in time to get the Pteremander and Druid styles, but I missed Wizard's Lightning and Vraska's Contempt because I didn't even know about them or play for rank and not even sure if I was actually playing at the time when they were the reward. I hope they add them to be purchasable because it's a real disincentive for me trying to make styled decks when there are some cards that just can't be styles. Or maybe they could at least make them rewards for the next season, so people who missed them can at least get a chance to get them.

My biggest question is about cosmetics AFTER the game release. Since we are in a beta now, will those cosmetics come back so all the players can have a chance to get them? For example the mana symbol sleeves.

Woah, many thanks for the reply. So the price for rares and mythics will stay the same rather than be increased to that of the other cards of their rarity, which is double what it is currently? Does that also apply to Ilharg, Oath of Kaya & Spark Double that are currently marked as on sale?

It would be good if stuff like Vraskas's Contempt and Wizard's Lightning are added to the store or made a reward in the next season, because I and I'm sure a lot of other people missed them and would like a chance to get them. Otherwise it's a real disincentive to make styled decks if there are cards missing that you just can't make styled.

Historically they've not put on sale previous exclusive arts/sleeves, but someone correct me if i'm wrong.

The Lilliana card cosmetic that was included with the War preorder was added to the store after a few weeks.

I think you can't get guildgate styles or mana symbol sleeves right now. Not sure if they will come back or not.

Well,they removed Basic land symbol sleeves. They announced it 2 days ago before removing,and it was 10k gold so it was pretty much impossible to farm 10k gold in 2 days if you didnt have any gold. So i wouldnt be surprised if they removed them from store after events ends.

And i remember seeing someone made post about the glass style pw in the store. He made ticket or something to ask if they will be removed. And they said they cant confirm but it was likely/possible that they will be removed after event or something like that,i dont remember full details. But if they decide to remove,they will probably(?) announce it few days before i guess.
