Game Update Highlights

- Companion rule changes are now live.
- The June 1, 2020 Banned and Restricted announcement is now in effect on MTG Arena. ...
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:
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!
Update: We're officially back on the menu.
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
