Some questions and answers from the community cup QandA with Worth, courtesy of @prolepsis9 and @luisscottvargas

Power 9 on MODO: "I never like to say never, buuuut..." Worth says bigger fish to fry and can only do it once


Asked about Masques block; it's coming, but method of delivery is unknown so far

Player-run events, cube: "On the radar, casual/team drafting probably sooner. Cube is a favorite at WOTC, likely on MODO"

Chris K: One of the things we're looking at & would like to do  with MTGO is to try and run events that span all day, or multiple days

Built-in MODO notepad? "In the new UI spec"

Mac/iPad MODO: "Return on Investment question, hard to say but circle back to the discussion every few months"

Chris: Plans for social media in MTGO? (Forums, groups, etc) Gordon:  We can't do anything until we intergrate with our own community site.

Voice chat: "We *talked* about it, want to make it to be opt-in for playing with friends. Moderation issues."

Bing: Has there been a bump in MTGO from #dotp? Worth: There has been a bump everywhere. It's been awesome.

"Want to build better tutorials, support for new players. New UI will have better platform, then a matter of content generation"

What are the BIG FISH "Stability, new UI. Lot of moving parts in day-to-day operation. Three outages last week are a big issue"

"In-game bug reporting, possible solutions discussed, needs to be easy-to-use. Also has impact on compensation request/reporting

"Can't really make decisions on the trading value of the packs. Have tried revolving payouts before that doesn't really work"

Generic booster packs? "Need to do more research. Isn't convinced it will have the effect the community thinks it will."

Custom format filters might be a possibility, but sounds a long way off.

Digital set releases? "Discussed pushing NPH release up, but was constrained by schedule in place, internal testing hard to push

"Promos for joining events might come back. Maybe for specialty formats."

MODO format support, do you think there could be a Pauper MOCS? "I do."

Lifetime MOPR promos "Hero of Bladehold will be one, one will be something previously unrelease

Timeline for new MODO UI, Gordon says "eeeeennnh, bad luck to talk about dates, but beta will be starting soon."

Want to take MODO specialty formats to where Commander is now, heavy interaction/input from community regarding B/R lists etc.

Prizeless, cardless drafting under a subscription model? "Subscriptions have been considered occasionally"

"Looking at ways to increase participation at a lower cost for  people with different bands of time, but affects entire ecosystem"

MTGO shredder for unwanted commons? "Priority-wise not high on the list"

LEAGUES: " If they were as important business-wise as we previously  thought they were, they'd definitely be back by now.""It's also a huge  amount of work. There's a significant amount of time needed. We are  comfortable where it's prioritized"

Magic Online at GenCon "We want to make sure people know modo exists, esp. for players who don't have time to play in paper"

Sad to read that comment about leagues.  Bummer....

Leagues
0
Enchantment
Suspend - 1
 At the end of each Q, put a disappointment counter on each player.
 At the beginning of your Q, you may mention "leagues". If you do, each player may remove all counters from target player. Add 1 suspense counter to Leagues.
 When Leagues enters the battlefield, each player may win the game.
