- The QP entry option will remain at 40 for both Qualifiers and Super Qualifiers
- Modern Horizons 2 will be used as the Limited Preliminary format starting July 21 at 4 p.m. instead of Adventures in the Forgotten Realms.

In case you missed it, be sure to check out all the Magic Online release info for Dungeons & Dragons: Adventures in the Forgotten Realms in last week's release article. Be sure to also check out the updated Treasure Chest page.
Adventures in the Forgotten Realms Class Challenge Ends Tomorrow
Starting last week and ending tomorrow, a new way to play Magic on Magic Online: Class Challenge.
For those familiar with previous iterations of gauntlets on Magic Online, they are a way to play with preconstructed decks that we provide; no deck building necessary! The twist here is that as opposed to being given a deck randomly, you now get choose one. Your deck-building decision will be choosing a class.
You'll then do battle with other like-minded adventurers wielding any of these twelve core D&D classes in a league-style format. All twelve decklists and full event information will be published soon.
Super Qualifiers Added in July
The following Super Qualifier events have been added to the Magic Online calendar and Premier Play info page:
