Set rotation warning for cards that aren’t rotating!
When trying to craft cards from sets like Ixalan and Outlaws of Thunder Junction, I keep getting the pop-up warnings saying cards from these sets will rotate out soon - which is obviously not true for these particular sets. Can you guys please get it together and fix these stupid warnings? It’s very confusing/misleading. You know what sets are actually rotating out, so check your warnings for accuracy before you go live with them.

@Rezzahan#77802 Thanks for clearing this up. *hat-tip*
This is still unacceptable and wrong-headed game design.
1) The alert formatting should be consistent across cards since the core operation (rotation) has the same effect regardless of the card.
2) If they want to alert on this, the alert should enumerate the format(s) where the rotation is taking place.

@Rezzahan#77802 Ah I see. Regardless though, the message is still kinda inaccurate and misleading. It should specifically state that it only applies to “Alchemy.” Plus it says those sets will rotate out this “fall” which isn’t true. It’s this summer (Aug 1). The point is that they should clean up their warning messages to be more descriptive and accurate.

WJW, yeah. Both of those sets aren't due to rotate until 2027.
I just confirmed this on macOS 14.3 (23D56). See the attached screenshot. The incorrect warning dialogs even look different too.
After hearing about and confirming the 8+ sideboard construction fix, I had a modicum of confidence WotC was on the right track.
If they can't even get date expirations correct and consistent to the same interface, that confidence was sorely misplaced.
