I think this is a refreshing step in the right direction, just the ability to find a local store or event more easily is a big win. I’ve always hated how buried and inconsistent that stuff is on their own website. Store announcements is also kinda cool.

I haven’t regularly played Arena in years and this probably won’t get me back there, but I can at least envision it if maybe the juiced the digital rewards more or did things like 1:1 paper:digital packs. Having an Arena pack code in every paper booster would probably get me back.

Not a fan of arena, never will be. It is only a matter of time before they replace paper with digital.

If that happens, it won't be for a long time. Nearly all of the people I know who play only play paper regularly. Arena doesn't even have a multiplayer commander mode, which is the format carrying the game right now.
