When will the Expanded "beta" be updated?

So even though the game is officially out, and the beta stage is over, I can't help but notice that the expanded format is still designated as the "beta" stage and this makes sense because the complete collection of expanded cards, that is, black and white to scarlet and violet, is unavailable.

Now, the legacy format being scrapped makes sense, it isn't an official TPCi format, expanded being black and white onwards, IS an official format. This weird halfway format of sun and moon on? Not real...seems almost hypocritical to scrap legacy for not being worthwhile and then make a format that literally does not exist outside the game client.

So my question is, what gives devs? When is the expanded format going to be updated to be black and white onwards? Your bosses, TPCi, have said in multiple official documents that the 2023 season will have expanded as Black and White on? So.....how are we supposed to replicate and practice for that format if the online client doesn't support it? When expanded finally going to be updated?

    Whenever the devs are able to make the game stable... So, minimum 5 years, realistically 10 years, probably never.


    That said, you don't need to practice for Expanded because there haven't been Expanded events in years.
