Wow, this is amazing. Can I repost it to the Chinese forum NGA that spoiled our good boy Mowu? With proper credit of course.

By the way, his name is 默武 in Chinese, which means "silent force".

By all means! Memes are global :P

That's annoying. The Arena support site still has a page saying you can skip it, too.

Thanks though!

You can click View Account and skip it from in there.

FIX STACKED BLOCKING

We’re working on it. Was talking to a dev about this literally 10 min ago.

The counter spell should be on the stack, but I’m not sure that it can target bolt bend. My guess would be that the counter goes on the stack, bolt bend goes above it, changes the target to bolt bend and resolves, leaving the stack and the counter fizzles with no legal target. I’m not exactly /u/WoTC_ChrisClay, so I might be mistaken here

I am Chris Clay, and you can use spells like Bolt Bend to work around a counterspell like this.

We’ve tried :( Seems like there’s still a small window where this can happen. We’re looking at it now to see how this can still occur. Did you have a sideboard? Knowing that will help us narrow down the problem.

It only works on the turn she enters.

Yeah, it's a great game as well. Still haven't used the headhunter yet, have to get by with inspired learning.

Afaik some of the devs are trying out ssf as well, got to admire the dedication!

Oh yeah, I’m always ssf; have been basically since the option was available. Feels like playing “limited” poe.

In fact, lots of Poe maps are named after mtg cards

Several of the developers of Arena are long-time poe aficionados and, uh, one of us got a Headhunter this league?

Yeah they changed it cause the strongest deck was 20 mountains 40 lightning bolts, no joke

The deck with just [Rukh Egg] (no lands) was pretty funny too. Note that the original text had the token created anytime the card went to the graveyard, including discard.

Not sure if you know this (so maybe I'm whooshing here), but the person who posted the original version of this meme (/u/SpanglishFran) is the Arena dev who worked on the Sparky AI. Turning his own meme against his lovely creation is a pretty delicious turn of events. Bolas is pleased.

#wotcstaff

It was about the compound-ness of the trigger, which was supported for 'intervening if' like [[Prized Amalgam]] but not simple 'resolution-time ifs'. #wotc_staff

This one was !FUN!. Consider Opalescence and TTT any other enchantment. It's not a creature until it's on the battlefield- which means it enters as a creature. However, by the time it's on the battlefield (which is when it's a creature), it's too late for it to enter with a +1/+1 counter on it. Because, you know, Winding Constrictor.

In the end, the AI is basically like: "Yeeeaaah, I think I know what you're looking for." and just makes something up.

I did make a non-magic one for April Fool's on my Twitter: https://twitter.com/FOMartin/status/1112967393066639361

Well played WotC, well played
