They are offering a peek inside the testing process with a chance to try out a new format: 10 assorted booster packs from throughout Magic Online’s history, called the Festival Of Old Limited Sealed!

Goddamnit!  You can't do an April Fool on Mar 29!!!

Or maybe it's a real thing with a silly name to celebrate April Fools?

Confused.

Remember that time they made an April fools joke and the joke turned out they were serious?
