Game Update Highlights

• Historic Anthology 5 is now available, with Praetors, Commands, and more!
• Jumpstart returns starting June 4!
• Extensive bugfixes and improvements throughout the game

Notable Bug Fixes

• Fixed multiple bugs around social and Friend Challenges, especially on iOS
• Improved several cases where login or app start could hang, leaving the player stuck at a black screen or loading spinner
• Fixed a bug on mobile that prevented users from targeting offscreen cards - sliding a row will no longer select anything
  • NOTE: As a result of this bugfix, on mobile you can no longer drag blockers to assign them. You need to tap the blocker, then tap the creature you want them to block.
• Fixed multiple bugs on mobile around permanents not unstacking when they should, especially around distribute damage and activating abilities
• Fixed a bug that was making companions in Brawl decks cause deck validation problems
• Fixed a bug that made Historic Tournament Match direct challenges use the wrong sideboard settings

General

• Emblems on mobile are now placed similarly to how they are on desktop (along the left edge of the screen)
• Android "back" button support has been extensively improved throughout the client
• Pressing 'return' / 'newline' on the mobile keyboard will now send messages when chatting with friends.
• The Black Lotus pet will not start in its second form. You can still change forms as normal.
• Added hangers to clarify which cards are banned in Historic Brawl

Gameplay

• We've updated the Mana Wheel UI for manually adding mana from sources that can produce multiple types of mana. You'll also see how many mana you'll be able to choose.
• We now add additional time to your turn when you make choices during resolution. Tainted Pact should be less difficult to use.
• We now wait for a confirmation on any selection from a group of your opponent's cards. No more misclicking after an Emergent Ultimatum.
• Adjusted the UX for scroll bars in browsers to make them more clear and easier to use
• Creature rows will no longer scroll on their own while the user is assigning attackers or blockers.
• We've shifted the number on count badges to be centered under the icon.
• Modes that don't have Timeouts no longer display Timeouts on the UI.
• Right clicking a card that shows a modified cost in hand now displays the base cost.
