@Akurabis:

Thanks for the official love, above. I guess we should expect this- most games apply an update, and add maybe 3% new content. Not sure what percentage of total data the new set represents. It is still "under maintenance" and we should not schedule our lives around a game.

A new set changes a lot of things in-game, and game development has a million different factors to it. I understand that it's frustrating to wait. I'm chomping at the bit to play the new set, too! They're working as fast as they can to resolve things. :heart:

We'll provide the MSI file when maintenance has concluded. Sorry for the wait!

They may wish to have an official representative post here if they took things back down for maintenance (since you know, they were actually up at one point, and the game gives no such indication). Preferably with an ETA so people know how long to not bother trying for. I don't even know where that status page you found is located!

This is one of the only real valid complaints. The official communication here on the forums is non-existent. It seems [[58194,users]] is either on a month long vacation or doesn't work there anymore.

I do still work here, and no I'm not on vacation. I'm no longer a community manager though! I took on a different social media role recently. I may still pop in occasionally but expect to see some different WotC folks here.

Obviously the game is still having some issues. That's why we left maintenance on! I wouldn't play until maintenance ...

It's true, these forums can get a bit grouchy, but there are some really helpful people on here too! If you ever see a particularly mean post, please use our report function so our moderators can take a look asap.

I'm seeing quite a few folks on this thread saying "Well X forums are worse!!1!" How about we focus on this forum and just make an effort to be a bit more positive. Even if we all have different opinions on things, we're all here because we love Magic. :slightly_smiling_face:

Bug Fixes

• Kicked cards (paying the optional kicker cost when casting a spell) that target a creature now correctly resolve.
• Cards available in the MTG Arena base set are now playable in Brawl and Standard 2021 Play.

KNOWN ISSUE

When casting a card with kicker that targets a creature, if the spell is kicked the spell fails to resolves (i.e. nothing happens). Spells affected include:

• Shivan Fire
• Gift of Growth
• Vicious Offering

This only affects cards when paying the optional additional kicker cost; spells that target a creature will still function as intended if they are not kicked. We are currently working on a fix, and will update you with more information when it becomes available.

For further assistance, please contact support.

Bug

• When creating a new deck, players are unable to select Traditional (best-of-three) Historic from the Select Format drop down menu.

• The bug will be fixed in a future game update.

@WotC_Lexie:

Yessss! Literally nothing wrong with netdecking. In fact, I encourage people to do so! It's super helpful for newer players (or those who don't have hours to comb through sets and brew). For example, when building my first Commander deck, I used an existing decklist as "inspiration". It wasn't a true netdeck but it did help me find some card combos that I wouldn't have thought about before simply because I wasn't aware that those cards existed.
P.S. I see a lot of people here complaining about opponents playing "netdecks", when that "netdeck" is just obvious card combinations lol.

How do you break the monotny of facing the same deck over and over?

You play something different. Seriously. Play some Jumpstart, or switch to Historic. Maybe play some Limited. My personal take on it is that you're probably not actually playing the same deck over a...

AMONKHET REMASTERED

Alrighty—who's ready to rise among the worthy once again? Next week heralds the return of Amonkhet and Hour of Devastation to MTG Arena in the aptly named Amonkhet Remastered.

Let's look at some of the nitty-gritty, sun-blistering, sand-blasted details:

• 338 total cards from Amonkhet and Hour of Devastation*
• Obtainable in boosters, Limited events (Sealed and Draft), and through crafting
• Focus on creating an interesting, repeatable Limited player experience
• Provide support for Historic and (eventually) Pioneer Constructed formats

MECHANICS

It's been a few years since we've faced the trials of Amonkhet, and a lot has changed since then . . .
