Is there a way to get priority in arena, so that I can put a stop before his end step after he resolves reclamation?

So I lost a game earlier today, because I didn't have a counter spell. So it never gave me any priority to destroy the reclamation on board with my brontodon. He just played the card, and arena went straight to end step without asking me if it would resolve, or allowed me time to put a stop since the board state has change.

We're aware of this (and getting close to being in a good place to tackle it), but it's still a couple patches out probably. #wotc_staff

With an empty stack, the settings the client sends to the game server make it so that you do not get priority during your opponent's postcombat main phase (with the normally correct justification that you can do whatever you were going to do during the end step). The problem comes up only if the last thing your opponent does is get a permanent that has an end-step trigger.

Basically in order to not make this a spaghetti-code one-situation-exception, we need to pretty heavily rework our approach to how the game gives you priority by default. This is a pretty big undertaking.

Also, we're still working on future cardsets, bugfixes, etc. This problem is significant, but it's not the only task vying for our limited attention. #wotc_staff
