B&R updated – Failed Refund of Wild Cards and HAS stock chat
Seeing the B&R update from 10 Nov 2025 (-0800 UTC), I noticed I did not get wild cards correctly added to my account (as of end of 10 Nov 2025, still working with support to resolve this issue).
Specifically cards were banned and I was not issued said wild cards to my account; in the correct quantities.
Importantly, there are several cards have been rarity shifted (99% downwards). An example, if you wanted to play with Despark, you could only craft this as a rare from Mystical Archives (STA). Then it was made available as an uncommon (you were never refunded for this).
With some quick spot checking, I noticed 52 cards from at least 6 sets that have this issue. That 17 mythics, 10 rares, and 25 uncommons have been downgraded at least by ONE (1) rarity. In some cases, multiple rarities.
In the worst case, you could have crafted 4 at the highest rarity. Then the card was rereleased at a lower rarity. You have wasted those 4 wild cards (this is far more offensive with mythic and rare wild cards).
The clean thing WotC can do here is just refund all accounts. Say if WotC released a mythic and then rerelease it as a lower rarity, then give people the mythic wild cards. If you downgrade it a second time, refund again. Be generous, so players can be generous back to WotC.
Seeing how WotC mistreat initial critical whales of MTGA, definitely reminds future, would be whales to stay clear. Jeff Hoogland was spending over 1kusd annually with WotC for MTGA, to make content. Jeff no longer plays on MTGA and probably spends more with Second Dinner and Marvel Snap. You should be very familiar with your paying customers and VIP. Understanding Jeff playing Magic and leaving MTGA was a lack of communication and respect. That WotC was not generous and actually quite rude to the fair criticism. Checking NSQ:HAS, your market cap is still measured in the billions (even after the disastrous Magic30). I would think with all of these billions and posting strong quarterly reporting from WotC side of HAS earnings, Hasbro and WotC should reinvest in MTGA than actively fighting players. (Would be paying customers that WotC drives away; and yes I told my friends to not play MTGA cause how awful the economics are.)

I would mark this as HYPER critical where other posts I have just said were critical.
