This Week: Play All Arenas in Start a Match!

From this Friday until next Friday, we've opened up all arenas to use in Start a Match. Our Pro subscribers will be able to create matches outside of the Standard arena rotation system. The change has already been applied, and should be available to all. You may need to restart your client in order to receive the changes. Have a great weekend!
