What happened to Historic Bundle 3?

Question

I literally just made 25k gold to buy this bundle, it was in the shop 10m ago but now I can't see it anywhere? There was a ending soon tag on it but nowhere in the state of the game said it was going away, and there was no maintenence!

I returned to MTGA to play Historic and was banking on that bundle to help things out, even spent cash to buy the season pass and get gold faster for the bundle, is it gonne forever?

I'm not entirely sure but I think they had already taken it out.

For what it's worth, unless you were planning on playing a bunch of different decks, it is probably worth more of your resources just to craft the necessary cards. Bundle 3 had a lot of junk and the rares weren't exceptional.

Yeah I was planning on having different decks, already spent quite the amount of WCs too, was just missing a bunch of cards from the Anthology. I'm an idiot should have just grinded out the last gold instead of doing it all today... Thanks for the input though.

It ended with the update. They don't give exact days to make people buy it asap.

It's gone now - they might come back at some point, but I haven't seen 1 and 2 back yet, so who knows.

They actually do give exact days. The bundle has been counting down from 7 days remaining for the last week.

Opps, I bought it before so didn't see that. My bad!

That's a lie, there was no end date on the store, it just said "offer ends soon". No days no countdown.

You just missed it. It is a little hard to see, it was in the lower center area of the "bundle frame". It said 23 hours left after yesterday's store refresh. Sorry about the bundle though.

I swear I looked everywhere and didn't see anything. Thank you for clearing it out and your advice! I've learned my lesson, time to move on

This is bullshit... the 2nd bundle was available all the way even when the 3rd was released and now they remove this one just like that.

Yeah that's how I missed out on HA2 last patch. :(

SetirbOPNahiri •

But there was no patch! The game didn't update, maintence hasn't happened and jumpstart isn't out. Why was it removed it out of the blue?

There was. I'm updating now.

But they removed it from the store before the patch. I literally ended my game, went to the store and it wasn't there.

JMP is out.

That sucks, I figured the Store would changed today because of the Winota Ban in Historic but that really sucks for you...I think it might be replaced with the Jump-Start Bundle

Thank you all for your answers! I spent these last 5 days getting the season pack and boosters to get the WCs for the Historic decks I already started to build.

Now gonna have to spend even more cash to buy boosters to get the WCs for the Bundle cards. This sucks :(

It just makes absolutely no sense. Even if there was technically a countdown, one that was extremely discreet but nonetheless there, it is totally inconsistent with the timeline of the other bundles. Why did this one last such a short time. Besides, what do they have to gain by removing it? For that matter, why do remove any of them from the store at all? I can still buy packs of Ixalan for full price, but the Historic bundles have to be removed in such a short time? It just makes historic even more inaccessible than it already is. I was actually planning on buying gems just to get the stupid bundle if I couldn't get enough gold, but so much for that. Its so infuriating, and they need to come up with a better solution for their only other format on arena essentially, one that they seem to be investing a lot of effort to curate and maintain.
