So with today’s Commander ban announcement…

[[Sorcerous Spyglass]] is legal in standard brawl even though it's banned in historic brawl. Honestly I'm surprised they remembered to ban disruptor flute.

Ugin, Nexus and Field are still banned despite being perfectly okay by today's power level. Tbh, Oko probably is too.

I really doubt they'll ban anything. Nadu is annoying but not egregiously strong compared to other hell queue commanders.

There's basically no overlap between commander and brawl. In brawl ...

Ugin and Field weren't power level bans; they were banned for ubiquity. They went into basically every deck, which ended up making games feel more similar. One of the goals of Brawl as a format is to offer wide variety, and Ugin and Field worked against that.

So with today’s Commander ban announcement…

It's unlikely it'll ever get banned. Case in point, Golos is banned in Commander but is perfectly playable in Brawl. They'll probably keep increasing Nadu's power level until it's in the depths of hell queue so it doesn't bother 'normal' decks ever again.

Yes, this is basically right. No plans to ban Nadu, and all the evidence suggests we can use the matchmaking to keep him constrained to pairing with people who are also running high-power commanders.

Just saw a pretty big banlist for both historic (9 cards I think) and Explorer (4 cards) when my startup screen hiccup'ed.

Comment

Sounds like this was just a bug. Arena keeps a file on your device of which bans you've seen, so it can know which ones are new. This sounds like that file went missing or failed to load, and so it showed you all the bans (bolt, ritual, etc.) as if they were new.

Update Issues Android.

Pixel 8a, android 14 (AP2A.240905.003.A1), starting the client gives error retrieving data (doesn't crash tho), but it's unable to do anything. On my other device (iOS) update worked without any issues.

For at least one internal tester in this state, they were able to force-kill the app, restart their phone, and then successfully launch. This was just one report, though; your mileage may vary.

If you all are having a bad day, we're having a bad day. Or, at least, a busy day trying to fix it. Working hard with the engineers to understand what's up

We're looking into this. It would be really interesting to hear from players who are/aren't crashing:
A) Are you on Android?
B) What OS version are you on?

Edit: We now believe we have this issue solved with a new update for Android players. Apologies for the disruption here!

Daily Deals - September 3, 2024: IT'S YARGLE TIME 🐸🐛🤘

Why are people saying it should have been in March. The first Yargle is a 9 power 3 toughness 9/3 September/third. I know this is obvious but I feel like I'm missing something everyone knows lmao

International Yargle Day (where Yargle wears a beret), is celebrated on March 9th, because of DD/MM/YY date formats.

Delays on buttons/actions post-update

Thanks for the report! We think that this was a result of not everything getting fully scaled out in this morning's release, and that it should be fixed now. Please let us know if you're continuing to see these problems.

Last update made the game unplayable. Anybody else?

Jay, who decides how daily deals are made? Is it one guy? The whole team? An algorithm?

It's mostly one person. They keep a calendar of special dates to theme around, and other times pick an assortment. Like anything, we'll also run with good ideas that come from anywhere, across the team or even beyond. Credit to u/GravyBus for pointing out HamBoneRaces cake day and that this was an event worth celebrating

If this is happening consistently for you, try going to Options -> Report Bug -> Validate Bundles. This can happen when your local assets get corrupted, and running that will check whether any are and redownload them if so
