Magic: The Gathering Arena Adds Reality Fracture With Five Sharp-Tongued Emotes
Arena's emote pool was built for greetings and good sportsmanship, and the new lines cut against that, which puts the game's own conduct rules and its emote-mute and in-game report tools in the middle of a card set launch.

Wizards of the Coast added the Reality Fracture card set to Magic: The Gathering Arena on September 30, alongside in-game events. Five new emotes arrived at the same time, voiced phrases themed on Jace, Liliana, Vraska, and Chandra. Some lines carry a direct bite, including "Hurry it up!" and "Everyone makes mistakes," and players have joked that the meta is about to change drastically.
The five emotes landed with the set, and not all of them are friendly. Wizards of the Coast's code of conduct does not name emote taunting directly, though it prohibits rude conduct, harassment, and trolling. Arena also lets players report others from inside the game, turn off an opponent's emotes, or hide emotes across the whole game.
