UPDATE #2: I now have official confirmation that Best of 1 Pick2 OM1 drafts will be ranked.
UPDATE: An Arena Dev has confirmed that the “OM1 Traditional Draft” currently on the schedule will also be Pick 2, and that there will not be an 8-person pod version of OM1 on Arena at any point. Premier Draft for Edge of Eternities will be extended until after the Pro Tour on the weekend of September 26th.
I had previously reported that OM1 will have both Pick 2 Drafts and more traditional 8-person, pick-1 Premier drafts throughout the lifecycle of the set on Arena. However, OM1 Premier draft has since been removed from the Event Calendar, but the Best of Three OM1 Traditional Draft event is still on the calendar.
It is unknown at this time if the Pick 2 Drafts will be ranked or not. Given that OM1 Premier Drafts are no longer on the schedule, I would expect the OM1 Pick 2 queue to be ranked, but that is pure speculation on my part.
It is unknown at this time if Pick 2 Drafts will be Best of One or Best of Three, although if I were forced to speculate, I would guess they’re going to be Best of One only.
There are no Arena Open events currently on the schedule.
There is one Arena Direct currently on the schedule.
Please note that this event is for a Japanese Language MH3 Play Booster box. This is how it’s listed on the Calendar, and it has been confirmed to me that this is the case by one of the Arena Devs.
There is a Brawl Metagame event on the schedule. This is the first Metagame event that is not for a 60-card constructed format.
It is unknown at this time if the event will be Best of One or Best of Three.
Flashback Premier Drafts will be starting on October 5th with Duskmourn. This is only 3 full weeks after Through The Omenpaths 1 (OM1) comes out, which is less time than is typical for Flashback drafts to appear during a new set’s lifecycle.
Currently, the latest Arena Announcements article lists the October 7 MWM event as Mormir. The Official Calendar lists it as Jump In. Until I get clarification, I’m going to assume the calendar is correct.
The last new event added to the calendar is on October 24th.
