When does the first Magic: Arena mastery pass end? On September 26

With the arrival of the new set The dance of the mastery (season) pass inMagic: Arenahas been a long one, and Wizards of the Coast was sort of learning on the fly during it all, stepping on toes in the process. When the pass launched in early July the idea was simple: introduce a season pass into the game, similar to howFortniteandRocket Leagueare monetized.

Witcher 3’s newest TV ad takes an already-rare bird that much closer to extinction

Jay-Z got nothin’ on this O.G. R.O.C. Rocs are giant birds of prey inThe Witcher‘s universe, and in a way, they can be likened to the Giant Squid in our universe.
