Season 1 ends on 16 November

When Season 1 ends

Season 1 of the Bot League ends on 16 November at 00:00 UTC.

More than 50 players have played Bot League games this season. Thank you for every game and every bug report.

• The last week starts on Monday 9 November, with three Bot League games like every other week.
• A game you start before the end still counts. You have 24 hours to finish it.
• The game finalizes rewards 24 hours after the season ends.

Your last chance at a frame

A frame needs six completed matches and at least one win. Only your best six weeks count, so a strong last week can replace a weak one.

• RChampionRainbow Unicorn
• MGoldMermaid Unicorn
• USilverUnicorn Phoenix
• LBronzeLlamacorn

• Champion goes to joint first place.
• Gold goes to the top 20%, and Silver to the top 50%.
• Bronze goes to every other qualified player.

Badges cover all eight weeks: six completed matches, your first win, six wins and twelve wins.

Collecting your rewards

Once the season is final, Home shows the frames you earned. They stay in the Trophy Room for good, marked with Season 1.

Season 2 and the Rival League

Season 2 starts on 16 November and runs until 11 January. The Bot League keeps its rules: three games a week, and your best six of eight weeks count.

Season 2 runs through the winter, so the Bot League frames come back covered in frost. The tiers and the way to qualify stay the same.

• PChampionPuppicorn
• UGoldUnicorn Oracle
• QSilverQueen Bee Unicorn
• GBronzeGreedy Flying Unicorn

Season 2 is also the first season of the Rival League. Your Find match games so far have shaped your rating. From 16 November, the standings count.

• Play 5 rated games in Season 2 to get placed and earn a tier.
• Every placed player earns a holographic foil frame for their final tier.
• Your first three Find match wins each day count toward the most-wins race. The top three earn the Most Wins badge.
• Badges for 10, 25 and 50 counted wins arrive the moment you reach them.

• DRival ChampionDark Angel Unicorn
• BRival GoldBlack Knight Unicorn
• SRival SilverStabby the Unicorn
• SRival BronzeShark with a Horn

A rated game needs at least two signed-in players at the table, so bring a friend to Find match.

How the Rival League works

Both leagues play Diamond Edition

From Season 2, every Bot League game and every Find match table plays Diamond Edition. It's the Second Edition deck plus four Diamond Unicorns, which start in the Vault in the middle of the table.

Prismawing

Card Type: Diamond Unicorn

When this card enters your Stable, you may DISCARD a card, then DRAW 3 cards.

Reaper

Card Type: Diamond Unicorn

When this card enters your Stable, you may force another player to DISCARD 2 cards.

Shimmerblade

Card Type: Diamond Unicorn

When this card enters your Stable, you may look at another player's hand. If you do, you may choose a card and add it to your hand.

Sparklestar

Card Type: Diamond Unicorn

When this card enters your Stable, you may add a Magic card from the discard pile to your hand.

• Each turn, the game rolls the Diamond die for you. A roll can put a Diamond Unicorn into your Stable, take one from a rival, or send one back to the Vault.
• Diamond Unicorns can't be destroyed or sacrificed, but they can be stolen.
• Season 1 games, including the ones you start in its last days, stay on Base Second Edition.

Diamond Edition is out now. Pick it when you host a game, or play the Diamond practice match, to learn it before Season 2 starts.

How Diamond Edition works

The Rival League is an experiment

I hope the Rival League comes alive this season, but I don't know yet if it will. The player base is still small, and a rated game needs two people looking for one at the same time.

What I'd love to see is real PvP: players facing off at the same table, Neighing each other's plays and stealing each other's Diamond Unicorns, and having fun doing it. If you see someone waiting in Find match, join them.

Alerts when a rival is waiting

Players come from many time zones, so two of them rarely open Find match at the same moment. Now, when a signed-in player waits in Find match, every other signed-in player sees an alert, wherever they are in the app.

Waiting 1:14

JoinMute for today

• Join takes you to Ranked and puts you in the same queue.
• Once two signed-in players are in the queue, bots fill the empty seats after one minute and the game is rated.
• While you wait, the queue shows how many players were alerted and whether your game will be rated yet.
• The alert never interrupts a Bot League game or a game with other people. Solo games and finished games are fine.

Mute for today silences alerts until 00:00 UTC. To stop them for good, switch off Find match alerts in Settings.

One more thing for winter

The Christmas Expansion Pack is on its way. More about it soon.
