MTG Arena maintenance shuts down gameplay during July 7 update

A scheduled Magic: The Gathering Arena update for the release of Alchemy Horizons: Baldur’s Gate has resulted in a temporary shut down of the digital card game. 

The Alchemy Horizons: Baldur’s Gate July 7 update began around 10am CT and was expected to run for around three hours with no downtime, according to Twitter. Around one hour into the scheduled maintenance, everything within MTG Arena became unavailable, listed as “under maintenance” via the server status page. Some players have reported being unable to log in while others got into the system but are still unable to unlock Alchemy Horizons: Baldur’s Gate pre-orders or booster packs received via codes from the tabletop Draft events.
