Vintage Masters Flashback Draft League Ends Tomorrow

We will be fixing this issue and debuting Super Jump during Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty season next year! Stay tuned for this awesome mix of Jumpstart and Legacy Cube!
So, over the last week, we’ve been running a Flashback League (Phantom) with Vintage Masters. The entry options for this League are 10 Event Tickets or 100 Play Points, and the event ends tomorrow with downtime, so now is your last chance to play! Due to an issue with Misthollow Griffin, we’ve temporarily removed it from the Vintage Masters collation while this event is active.
Next Downtime December 15
The next downtime will be tomorrow, December 15, beginning at 9 a.m. and continuing until noon. All times listed are Pacific Standard time (UTC-8).
