Chaos Vault Zeta Set Launch Halted After Technical Glitch
The Zeta Set launch for Magic: The Gathering’s Chaos Vault was stopped after just eight minutes due to unforeseen technical issues. The pause came shortly after the main queue opened to let players finish paying for pre‑orders. Wizards of the Coast halted sales while it worked to resolve the problem, and anyone who was in the queue when the pause occurred will have their spot held for when the sale restarts, although this is not guaranteed.
Sales Resume After Extended Downtime
After roughly 80 minutes of downtime, sales of the Zeta Set were resumed. Players who stayed in the queue throughout the outage remain in the same position, but Wizards warned that wait times may be longer as the system comes back online and monitors the situation. The company asked customers to stay in line to keep their place and offered a support link for order questions.
Current Availability and Queue Information
The Zeta Set is now sold out in the United States, Europe, and the United Kingdom. In a rare move, Wizards temporarily paused the Chaos Vault sale to address the technical problem, noting that the queue will stay unchanged for those already waiting. They encouraged players to remain in the queue, as leaving could result in losing their spot and having to re‑queue later. Anyone visiting the Secret Lair store during the pause will not be able to join the queue or pre‑order the set.
