Bold of you to assume I will be able to understanding anything past the first land drop.

This could be a good time to see if you're interested in the format! :)

The real issue is the lag that stuttering and even make this possible.

He clearly selected one card then it snapped to another.

How do you guys not see that as an issue?

Of course that's an issue. As a rules engine person, I don't have much insight into why that happened. However, I can answer why there is no warning dialog. #wotc_staff.

You'd think there would be an "are you sure" dialog. I can't zap myself with Sorin without clicking through a dialog.

The targeting semantics for Wolfkin Bond are simply "Enchant creature". We can't tell whether that's good or bad for the purposes of warnings - that's the same ability Pacifism has. #wotc_staff

It's been there all along - nothing about its logic has changed since closed beta. The messaging for it has improved on the client though. And there are a lot more decks in M20 that are running up against its complaint limits I guess. #wotc_staff

This is on our (long) list of polish improvements we want to make. Under the hood this is a quest to get 1 weekly win, which chains into a quest to get 2 weekly wins, etc. That leads to the display you see, showing your progress on your current quest. I agree that something that indicated the total available would be more clear.

On a related note, I noticed an issue with priority on Chandra, Awakened Inferno's +2 emblem today:

When the Order Triggers popup for the emblems appears, the "Full Control" and "Hold Fold Control" keybinds both do not work as long as the popup is on screen. It will also not give you priority automatically when the emblem triggers go on the stack, even if you have something to cast. The only way to get priority once the Order Triggers popup for the emblems appears is to click View Battlefield and set a stop on the current upkeep phase, or enter full control/set a stop prior to the popup appearing.

I think if you only have a single emblem and/or have the Auto Order Triggered Abilities option enabled, you would get no opportunity to respond to the emblem trigger unless you had set a stop or entered full control prior to the upkeep phase, similar to the old issue with Warboss. I only noticed this in a game where I had more than 1 emblem, so I'm not 100% sure on the beh...

Chandra's emblem as well as Captive Audience will also give you priority when the patch hits. #wotc_staff

I just this week implemented changes to give you a chance to act with default settings if your opponent gets a permanent during your Declare Attackers or End step. It will come with the next engine patch. #wotc_staff

It’s on our list of “things we’d like to do”. Fair warning: that’s a long list.

It's pre 2020, yes. These decks are from around Feb or March (when I first started)

Thanks! We'll take a look.

No, this is design issue that happens ALL THE TIME, with all kinds of cards, only reason it was chalked up as a bug that required fixing in Warboss case was visibility.

When two players pass priority at empty stack, game moves on to next step or phase. But for whatever reason, same thing happens when one player passes priority to let spell/ability resolve, and other one automatically passes due to not being able to do anything (even if he shouldn't be gettng priority at this time). Player one casts Warboss, is out of mana. Player two lets it resolve, game sees two players passing priority with empty stack, moves on. Player one flashes in defender before declaring blockers, if player two lets it resolve, does not get chance to kill it before it's declared as blocker (without full control). Player one flashes in creature at end step, player two does not get chance to kill it without full control.

This is design issue that rears it's ugly head all the time, but it sta...

You are correct that it's a design issue. I just wanted to clarify that the fix was broader than just Legion Warboss - whenever a card with a step/phase based trigger enters a zone where that trigger is active in the step/phase just before the triggering one, the opponent should now get to act (if they have any actions they can afford). For example, if your opponent discards Arclight Phoenix in their main phase, you should get priority to, say, activate your Remorseful Cleric. #wotc_staff

It's definitely still in place, and we continue to monitor its performance.

For clarity, are you using the original NPE decks (if you created your account before Core Set 2020 release on July 2) or the new ones (if created afterward that)?

Thanks for the report. We’ve identified the issue and are working on a fix.

Definitely a bug, sorry for letting it slip through the cracks :(. The fix for this is currently in test internally. Should be resolved in the next update.

Also thank you for looking into the problem.

My edit made my original reply weird. Either way it's fine.

You can turn it on and off there.

To clarify, this controls whether you display your pet. It doesn't control whether you see your opponent's pet.
