You may have noticed clues in your inbox relating to Murders at Karlov Manor. Each one has a code solution that you can enter in the store (or on your Wizards Account page if on mobile)

The answers for each clue in order are as follows:

1. alquistproft (or alquist or proft)
2. impeccable

Each of the first four codes will get you 500 xp and a MKM parallax card style. The last one will give you 1000 xp, a card style and a Totally Normal Event token.

About
Name Ravnica Flash

Deck
7 Island
7 Plains
4 Hallowed Fountain
4 Meticulous Archive
2 Mobilized District
1 Cryptex
4 Doorkeeper Thrull
4 Deduce
4 No More Lies
4 Sinister Sabotage
4 Absorb

2 Commence the Endgame

This one is maybe a little mean for a fairly casual event, but then again maybe not, since I'm seeing a lot of people play similar decks. I don't know; I just seem to gravitate to blue decks where you can play most of your cards on your opponent's turn. You actually have several options for curve-toppers here; consider [[Dream Eater]] or [[Angel of Grace]] as alternatives to the ones I went with.

About
Name 2 Massacre 2 Girl

Deck
6 Swamp
4 Plains
4 Godless Shrine
4 Shadowy Backstreet
3 Escape Tunnel
2 Blast Zone
1 Mobilized District
2 Price of Betrayal
4 Dead Weight
4 Hunted Witness
4 Imperious Oligarch
4 Despark
2 Bleeding Edge
1 Kaya, Spirits' Justice
4 Massacre Girl
4 Massacre Girl, Known Killer
3 Ethereal Absolution
4 Slice from the Shadows

You can play both Massacre Girls in this format, how cool is that? I got this idea from an opponent but I didn't remember their deck well enough to copy it. I think they had a lifegain focus. Mine is basically just toughness-based control. Be careful how you stack your triggers! Sometimes you want your tokens to come into play in time to die. The two Prices of Betrayal are a nod to our bad match-up against Superfriends decks, which understandably are pretty popular in a format where War of the Spark is a quarter of the card pool.

Lots of people on Reddit are saying stuff along the lines of “wait for MH3”, is that good advice?
