You must be 18 years or older to participate.Speaking of competitive play, but before we continue. So, if you feel the crawling need to scoot, swarm, or scuttle to the excess-the days, and the number of tokens, are numbered. We also coordinated this decision with our Magic Esports team to ensure that this limit does not have a meaningful impact on competitive-level play (for reference, Magic Online has had a similar token limit for years). Additionally, if a player does decide to deploy scute siege weapons against their opponent, this number means their scuttling swarms should not leave their mark on other unrelated matches. We decided on the 250 per player limit based on match data, as most games will come to a normal and expected match complete before the maximum number is reached. If an effect would create a token past this limit, it instead does not mana will be spent, cards will be tapped, permanents will remain sacrificed, etc., however, no additional tokens will be created if you are already at the maximum number allowed.Each player will be allowed a maximum of 250 tokens on the battlefield at the same time.Starting with the December 2020 game update, we will be enforcing a maximum number of tokens allowed on the battlefield at any given time: It's why we ultimately decided to implement some pest control. Creating that amount 1/1 green Insect creature tokens gets to be quite demanding and, at times, has caused enough strain on our servers that the scuttling of scutes was felt even in neighboring matches. While tabletop play can shortcut its way to a bug blowout, our game rules engine needs to resolve every single trigger every single time. This has become problematic, and not just for matches duking it out in a chitinous six-armed race it's a swarm felt across the Multiverse. Since the release of Zendikar Rising, we have made various improvements to resolving triggers that number in the hundreds thousands, but there are always more scute bugs. Yes, there are always more scute bugs, at least until the game state becomes so infested that the only solution is to just burn it all down (also known as an unexpected match complete).

While it's technically possible to create up to 2,147,483,647 creature tokens, some of you decided to take survival rule 782 as a challenge.

As 2020 comes to an end, it's time to check in on the current State of the Game.

Changes to token creation, Arena Open details, and events to get you into the holiday spirit are all arriving later this week on MTG Arena.
