Duplicate protection:

Opening packs: If you would open a 5th-copy of a card, it is instead replaced with a card of the same rarity that you don't have 4 copies of. If you already own 4 copies of every card in that set at that rarity, you instead get other rewards:

Mythic: 40 gems

Rare: 20 gems

Uncommon or common: Vault progress at the current rate

Limited packs: You can open (and pick) 5th-copy cards. If you do, it won't be added to your permanent collection but converted to gems or vault progress, as above.

Individual card rewards: You can still get ICRs that are 5th-copy cards, but they'll be turned into gems or vault progress, as above.

The Finisher

Today was the Magic Arena All-Day Ravnica Allegiance streamer event, which the three of us took part in today (#sponsored). We got to play all manner of sweet brews with the new set against other Magic Arena streamers, #sponsored, and we had a ton of fun. I would absolutely love to be a part of any future All-Day streamer events, #sponsored, so in the future what kinds of things would you like Magic and Twitch to team up to do?
