u/WotC_BenFinkel Does this work?

I can confirm this is a bug, and I'm working on a fix for it today. #wotc_staff

Thanks for the report, I can imagine how this could happen (as the facedown card in exile's "cardback" face has mana value 0). I'll look into this tomorrow. #wotc_staff

My guess is technical issues, at least they're not scrapping it entirely.

It is a technical issue. We would not make this change if it weren't necessary.

Gameplay

User Interface

  • Exile animations, particularly when being done to pay a cost, have been sped up.
  • Extremely large queues of abilities or spells on the stack should no longer cause draws.
    • Developer's Note: Should being the operative word. We've been unable to force a draw internally with this, but we know some of you will take this as a challenge.
  • Floating mana now splits into distinct piles when being autotapped.

Bug Fixes

Cards

  • Thriving Lands that enter the battlefield with a Blood Sun in play will now correctly tap for mana.
    • . . . We're guessing no one noticed, but still, glad we fixed it.

For the player's safety - so they don't lose out on the full value of the token.

Maybe they'll do that later?

Draft tokens are only good for modes that cost 10000 gold/1500 gems. We don't accept them as entry for a mode that costs less, as a safety measure.

Currently you would only see Phyrexian rules text in the collection/deckbuilder when the card is not hovered. In a future update we plan to make it so checking "original printing" in the inspect (right-click) view will show it in Phyrexian.
