New Card Set: Aether Revolt!
We are introducing a new card set to the game: Aether Revolt! This marks the end of the Kaladesh block and the end of it’s storyline.
The set features 55+ new cards which are added to the Kaladesh boosters. Like Oath of the Gatewatch and Eldritch Moon, this is a smaller set that focuses on the best of what Aether Revolt has to offer. Aether Revolt features cards of Uncommon, Rare and Mythic quality, so you can be sure that they’ll be useful.
We’re also putting up two new offers: Whenever you open up a Kaladesh Fat Pack, you get an extra guaranteed Aether Revolt card of uncommon or better quality, and whenever you open a Kaladesh Big Box, you get an extra Aether Revolt booster, which contains a guaranteed Aether Revolt rare or better!

Coalition Challenge: Revolt Against the Consulate
In this brand new PvE coalition challenge, you will face off against Tezzeret as he is retreating to the Skysovereign. 9 new encounters, spread over 3 chapters, will test your deckbuilding skills. The last encounters are more difficult than anything you’ve encountered before!
As with Avacyn’s Madness, the more victories you earn and the more secondary objectives you complete, the more damage you’ll deal to the event’s boss. Both players and coalitions are ranked by how much damage they have dealt to the boss during the duration of the event. Reach the top brackets before it ends to earn the best rewards!
Valentine’s Day Event
On February 14th, we are also introducing a special Valentine’s Day-themed event: Angel’s Embrace.
In this special PvP event, you can only use red Planeswalkers! The event is also Supercharged, and you will gain double mana from matching gems. There are also no secondary objectives for this event, so you can play however you choose.
