Thanks for the information! I appreciate you keeping us in the loop--the silence from the whole team right around the last patch was discouraging.

No problem! A lot of us that frequent reddit have been getting some much needed vacation in October. Sorry to leave everyone out of the loop. I'm back and rested now, so I'll try to provide context when I can. :)

Thanks Kale! Two questions: 1. Can we expect other stability/performance improvements in this release? The client has felt kind of janky (like the giant numbers thing...). 2. When can we expect this? Sooner than the KLD release?

  1. Yes, we have been working on refactoring and extending some older code in the last couple months. This should improve performance, but it sometimes causes new issues.

  2. This bug in particular is fixed in KLD, we won't be doing a hotfix. If you are having the giant numbers issue, you can DM me, we are looking for people that get it regularly - it has been hard to track down.

Hello, designer here. This was not a design decision at all, but a server issue where the game is waiting for a message that never gets sent, so the client sits until a timeout (8 secs) and then moves on.

It is currently resolved in next release. Sorry for the annoyance! We're all feeling it too as we play.

Possibly, opponent cast mirrormade and not a real binding and OP missed this fact

Nope, this is solved as a mirrormade bug, opponent's were real ones.

This looks like T5 with the opponent on the play. Had anyone missed land drops? How did the opponent pay for Binding?

Are you sure the Sculpting Steel is not supposed to be Inspiring Statuary? I was really looking forward to Paradoxical Outcome with Statuary and Aetherflux Reservoir. Please tell me this was just a listing error!

That one is accurate.

As per this image, [[Yahenni, Undying Partisan]] did not make it. If you meant [[Yahenni's Expertise]], then also no.

Edit: The original published list is reportedly incomplete.

That's an error on the site (we're working on fixing it). Yahenni & Yahenni's Expertise are both in. Felidar and Dramatic Reversal are the only cards in the grid above not in the set.

Can you shed any light on that?

Yes, those were deliberately left out. Both are key pieces of combo decks that are too powerful for where Historic is (Felidar + Saheeli Rai, Walking Ballista + Heliod). They're both banned in Pioneer for this same reason. That doesn't always mean that the card would need a ban in Historic, but in these cases we're pretty sure the cards are too powerful for the format.

Yahenni was another prominent standard card that seems to be missing, any chance it's in the set? (Sorry to keep asking)

Yahenni (and Yahenni's Expertise) are included in the set.

What about Yahenni and Yahenni's Expertise?

Puzzleknots: Looks like it has Cogworker's, Fireforger's, and Woodweaver's.

Yahenni and Yahenni's Expertise are included.

You also have Etherium cell on the list which should not be a real card :)

Yeah, that's another error. It's still a token like you'd expect.

Yup, it's in the set. So is Whirler Virtuoso.

Any chance we're also missing a couple more multicolored uncommons? Looks like most colors get two, but RG, RB, GB, and UR all only have one.

Personally really hoping for Whirler Virtuoso in addition to Constrictor.

Whirler Virtuoso and Voltaic Brawler are both in the set (but left off this page by mistake).

Is whirler virtuoso also in the set but missing, seems like a strange card to leave out

Whirler Virtuoso is in the set; not sure why it's not on the site.

Cool.

Is that the only card that is in the set but is missing from the gallery or are there more?

Weren't supposed to be any missing :) So far it looks like Winding Constrictor, Whirler Virtuoso, and Voltaic Brawler were left off.

Whirler Virtuoso is in the set. I'm not sure why it's missing from the page, but it's just an error.
