jgabrielygalan commented 4 years ago

In the current internal.json Ikoria enter date is set to April 24th, while it will release on MTGA and MTGO on April 16th as per: https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/news/changes-release-ikoria-lair-behemoths-2020-03-26

Thanks! Historically we've chosen to track NA paper releases when they differ from MTGA/MTGO or other geographies' paper releases, so seems like we should change ours to the delayed May 15 date.

However long term it'd be great if we could differentiate, especially with global circumstances causing an abnormally large gap between them this time. Maybe as a low-effort fix we could add a blurb of text about these specific changes due to COVID-19.

We at Penny Dreadful (player run format in MTGO) are mostly interested in the MTGO release date. What you describe about having the capability to differentiate it in the API (via a separate field for MTGO release date, for example) would be great.

Personally, I'd say that the value should be the 17th, as that's the earlier of the two paper release dates.

But separate entries for each region + digital seems like a good idea for v7 (#138)

The current date showing for Adventures in the Forgotten Realms in the API is the MTGO release date. Is this a policy change or an error? Or did WotC change their minds about the release date?

glacials commented 3 years ago

Looks like this is an error. I'll fix this now, thanks for pointing it out!
