MTG Salvation

Recently, we provided users the ability to merge their MTGSalvation account with a new or existing Twitch account. With Twitch account merging, we’re able to provide more streamlined account security, faster user support, and an easier log-in process. Now, we’d like to extend these benefits to all MTGSalvation users.

We are happy to announce that the deck builder will be the next feature we release on MTG Salvation! We want to make it as easy as ever for everyone to find the latest and most voted on decks right there!

IMPORTANT: Don't miss the "Launch Giveaway!" where you can win 6 Theros booster packs!

We have another quick list of changes made this morning. We have many more changes on the way such as Sig limits, hiding sigs and avatars and much more!

Changelog:

• Base Forums should all now be Visible.

• Trade and Sale posts can now be edited without getting an error.

• Forum titles are no longer bolded.

We'll be doing these changelogs fairly regularly for the foreseeable future as we continue to receive your feedback and implement new features and fixes. We want to thank everyone for being patient with this transition. Stay tuned for additional changelogs in the near future.

We already have two massive lists of things you all want, and that we are already working on getting into the very next patch!
