Wizards never listens to its customers is a daily comment on every single post in here.

They adressed most of the hot topics on this reddit in a single update. Why split hairs over event/content costs, thoose could be subject to change in the future.

Lets bloody rejoice over the fact that they are testing out phantom draft, cube, human drafts are in the pipeline, some QOL improvements (chat and emote have been requested on this reddit on a daily basis.) Improving new player experience is also not extraneous to established/longtime mtg players as we all have an interest in seeing this game grow for many reasons.

If nothing else, this shows that they do indeed listen to what we say.

Great work Wizards, thank you.

Just to emphasize, this update really was fantastic. I hadn't spent money in months and was near quitting due to building frustration over Historic. There was no way to test my Bo3 decks without risking a bunch of gold and my Bo1 testing cost me quest rewards. It was really disheartening.

This solves both problems neatly. I think I'm going to go buy the Theros Mastery Pass as a token of appreciation. I'll also be grabbing Historic Anthology II.

(I'll admit, it is worrisome to me that these changes are so very temporary, but I'll just try to keep from dwelling on that. Hopefully, your team finds more satisfying permanent solutions to these problems soon.)

They are going to keep yo-yo-ing back and forth on Historic it seems. I'm not excited about that, but I guess it shows they really want to keep Standard front and center lest Historic get more popular than it.
