What does "Core Sets draft" mean regarding the premier draft from March 26th-April 2nd?

Comment

It is one pack each of Core Sets 2019, 2020, and 2021!

New update absolutely horrible?

Comment

Thanks for the report; we're looking into the issue now. For clarity, there are 3 ways to play a card from your hand:

  • Click, drag up, release (this is working normally)
  • Double-click the card in hand (this is working normally)
  • Single-click the card in hand, mouse up, single-click on the battlefield (this is not working)

Apologies for the bug; we're working to understand what's going wrong here and fix it.

Weird Interaction: Underworld Breach and Light Up the Stage

Comment

The semantics laid out in rules 607.1 and 607.1c are essentially that every noun that comes from such things is its own unique thing with its own unique identity, and that all references to it refer to that unique identity. Whenever a card creates, acts on, or describes some number of objects, those objects should get a unique label that all linked references to them should use.

You establish the inter-ability (and intra-ability) references by considering the card in isolation, and then nothing added by other cards can become part of those references.

As I alluded to, the notion is that having a computer resolve anaphora is hard. Remember that the code is generated from the English text, with only extraordinary circumstances getting a "human touch" for aiding that. Light Up the Stage reads "you may play those cards.". The parser has to determine "what are 'those cards'"? I invite you to peruse the over 150 extant examples of that phrase on M:tG cards to see that there can be a variety of ways to interpret that phrase.

Suffice to say, I've implemented a fix (the one I alluded to above, where cards zone-transferred to pay a cost are marked differently than cards zone-transferred during a resolution step) and it will likely go live with the Strixhaven release. #wotc_staff

When in doubt, blame anaphora. Thanks

I mean it's not totally wrong? Although really the bug is the fact that the semantics for the noun that comes out of "Exile the top two cards of your library" effectively means "cards that were exiled due to this spell", and there's nothing that stops the cards you exiled for Escape for counting for that. My expectation is that the will be to make the Escape payment cards get labelled differently, perhaps "cards that were exiled to pay for this spell via ability [foo]"; after all, someday we'll probably want to implement [[Soulflayer]]. #wotc_staff
