I've been receiving a ton of questions from people curious about how #MTGBattle partners show up in packs and what permutations are possible. So here's a comprehensive thread to how Partner With cards appear in Battlebond booster packs. Let's dive in! #wotcstaff#mtgbattle
1. If you open one Partner With card, you will always open its buddy in the same booster pack. So if you open Pir, you'll also always get Toothy. Makes sense! #wotcstaff#mtgbattle
2. The second partner always kicks out an uncommon. So if you have two uncommon partners, you still have 3 uncommons. If you have two rare/mythic partners, your pack has 2 uncommons and 2 rares/mythics. #wotcstaff#mtgbattle
3. If you open foil partners, its partner will also be foil! That's two foils - sweet, right? #wotcstaff#mtgbattle
4. If you open foil rare/mythic partners, you still get a normal rare/mythic in your pack. So yes, this means the Doubling Season+Rowan and Will dream pack is alive! #wotcstaff#mtgbattle
5. You can only open up one partner pair per booster. So you can open Doubling Season+Rowan and Will, but not foil and nonfoil Rowan and Will. #wotcstaff#mtgbattle
6. If you open a foil partners, they replace one common and one uncommon. So if you open up a foil partner pair, your pack will still have 2 non-partner uncommons. #wotcstaff#mtgbattle
Okay, I think that's everything! As you might imagine, it took a lot of work to get this to all happen - and I'm so excited we were able to do it! It opens the door for many potential things to come. Send me any additional questions, and hope you enjoy! :) #wotcstaff#mtgbattle

I've been working on Brawl ever since Gerritt Turner brought it to my attention ages ago, and in addition to the article today, I also want to provide a bit of additional context about how it came to be, and the story behind Gerritt creating it. So here's a thread! #wotcstaff
(And just to clarify first: this story isn't to say Brawl is only for new players. Even the most seasoned R&D veterans have had a blast with it! But I like its creation story because it shows how it's a great way to game with your less experienced Magic friends, too.) #wotcstaff
A lot of the concept stemmed from remembering what it was like to be a new player and introducing many friends to Magic. You see, Gerritt had a playgroup that he thought a Standard card pool might be the best fit for. However, they were a social gaming group. #wotcstaff
