In the event of such an overhaul, please keep in mind that many of us like to use multiple different printings of the same card with different art in a single deck, such that selecting which printing to use on a per-deck basis would be a feature downgrade for us.

(Ideally, i would prefer it if styles were per-card rather than per-deck as well)

Definitely! This is more about streamlining deck building for those who want it than removing features that people enjoy. If you want to manually make every land a different printing, you will still be able to do that in the designs we have been looking at.

Cool feature requests, here's my feedback:

  1. Sometimes it's hard to keep context between matches because the match scene is different from the out-of-match scene. Seems like a good QOL addition, if it's easy.
  2. This one is probably a little harder, but I can see the utility of not breaking the friend challenge between matches. I think it would be something we could only do through the friend menu, (not direct challenge) but it's an interesting suggestion.
  3. I'd love more random options. Like random pets for example, or random avatars. I always used to play Street Fighter using the random fighter button, so random decks sounds fun like that. I agree there would have to be some limit to the selection to make it work, maybe favorite, I'd have to put some thought into how that works from the UX standpoint. I like the idea, though.
  4. This would have to only be for friend challenges because competitively no one wants to give up the knowledge of a card ...

Not sure when we get there, but this is definitely something on our radar. As the game gets more and more lands (and card reprints!) with each set, the collection interface gets filled with lots of duplicate information. I'd like to be able to collapse duplicate cards into a singular item with selectable printings, but that's a fair amount of work for the UI.

Keeping an eye on this thread for other feedback. Thanks for bringing this up!

I honestly believe Wizards deserves a lot of credit for this. A few people from reddit got busy on twitter and the MTGArena official account acknowledged this issue last Thursday.

We weren't aware this change was coming, so a big shoutout to those of you who brought it up with some time to spare! Twitter's cool and all, but Jay and I are much more likely to catch things here, which is what happened this time. I'm glad we were able to solve this without disruption to anyone's game.

Working on fixing it, but the solution ended up being more involved than initially expected (and why we didn't have time to get it fixed for May). It's one of my priorities for the M21 release. Sorry for the wait!

It's definitely bugged, I've seen other people complaining too. I crafted it last week unaware of this until it happened to me and I lost a game because of it.

Sometimes it does let you exile your permanents and sometimes not, it's inconsistent. I think it's been bugged for months now, so it's probably not an easy fix.

It's more that we hadn't been aware of the issue. We're working on a fix this week, not sure when it'd go live though (very likely M21-release at the latest though). #wotc_staff

Hey Jay, just wanted to say that the you were mentioned a few times on Maro's podcast and I found that hilarious. Thanks for taking care of mtga for us and for enjoying Limited! You are the people's champion!

Oh cool, thanks for letting me know! Which episode was it?

This is fantastic news. Thanks for following up and letting us know.

I'm not sure if you can speak on it, but do you have any update on the timetable for when the Arena MacOS client will be available? Last I read, pre-COVID, it was Summer 2020.

Like most folks in this thread, I play through GeForce Now because I am on a Mac but would much rather play it natively. Regardless, thank you again

Nothing to say there now other than that we still feel good about that β€œSummer 2020” timing. Also, as a Mac gamer since around 1986, I get it. We hope to have more to say here before too long.
