Per Worth on Twitter there will be changes to the DE schedule next week....

I assume more modern

Maybe more legacy to take advantage of the FoW craziness? event today fired at 47.

I really just dream of seeing a 64 man draft on the Schedule... or in the Queue room really.

Things that I want to see changed on MTGO:
1: 64 man drafts added to rotation of Events.
2: Visual/Audible Notification of disconnect, deckbuild/afk time expiring and round starts.
3: Prize Payouts as close to draft sets as possible.
4: Rotate Classic draft queues monthly!
5: MOCS level events for Classic/Pauper
6: Power 9!
7: Award Promo Cards for Constructed PEs (esp for Legacy/Classic)
8: Program Split option back in!
9: Set Favorite version in deck editor (i.e. always use x swamp)
10: Better sorting of gold cards in deck editor.
11: Bring leagues Back!

There's still a 12-hr gap in RTR Sealed DEs on Thursday. IMO, as the most popular formats, there should never be more than a 6-hr gap in current sealed or standard DEs.

Unfortunately, VCLs do not currently have the tools necessary to take moderation actions directly. VCLs submit their actions to ORCs, who then actually perform the action. This processing can take between a few minutes and several hours, depending on how busy/attentive the ORCs are.


If you see something that needs VCL attention, please use this thread (MTGO) or this thread (paper) to make a request and a VCL will look at it as soon as possible.  CoC violations should be reported to Customer Service using the "report post" button. Please do not disrupt the thread by making requests of either kind in-thread.

The Thursday DE gap is due to TNMO events launching during that time.

Which is fine when the TNMO is current set sealed. The rest of the time it leaves a huge hole. And none of the other TNMO formats have a similar gap.

TNMO and DEs are on a set schedule and when we combined them into one master schedule the TNMO events replaced whatever other events were at that time.  It appears that the majority of those replacements were current set sealed deck.  We will look at tweaking the start times so there is a smaller gap in the future.
