Looks like WotC didn’t want to pay for an editor to proofread their ChatGPT scripts.

Wow that’s pretty bad @mtgarena.com

On Twitter, Christmas666 commented "Can’t take the teacher out of the magic player 😆," to which I respond: This 30-second edit was the teacher being generous.

"Next steps for claiming" is awkward (preposition "to" better w/steps). More professional phrasing: "with further details on how to." "Event" in "Arena Direct Event" = capitalized or not, but stay consistent. There appear to be double spaces after periods in the 1st paragraph but not the 2nd.

Why is "MTG Arena" italicized but not "Magic: The Gathering"? "Receive" is more formal than "get." "Follow up" is used as an adjective and should therefore be hyphenated. Whee. I'm gonna stop now.

This is painful to look at. I 100% would not believe that came from an official account.

most mtg players can't read, so there's no need for a copy editor or anything like that

Looks like one of the fake emails you get in HR mandated cybersecurity training

As someone who has applied for and interviewed for copywriter roles at WotC -- only to be told that they have decided not to fill the role. I lol'd at this post.

Thank you,
