If we craft it for collector value, will it be taken away from us in the future?
Likely, yes. If we do take it away, we would refund any wildcards spent.

It's 80% off for me after the update wtf
Not sure how this happened, but it's a bug. We're investigating now, but 91% is the intended discount. We will run an automated process within a few days to refund the difference to anyone who purchased at the higher price.
On the Mastermind Emblem, do not craft this. It's a bug that it is available, and it is not usable in any format. It's an emblem we have been testing that you'll see in an upcoming event. (We implement all of these internally as cards.) It's not useful in any way in game.

Just one day to go! We fixed this a few weeks ago but tomorrow is our first GRE update since then. Sorry it's been so long in coming. #wotc_staff
Will it be possible to untap certain lands after floating all mana? In case you want to cast a big X spell but leave open a few mana to pay for a mystical dispute
No, Undo works by deserializing a game state (think of it like dropping save points in the game). You wouldn't be able to roll back your choice of how we got from that save point to the current game state - it's all or nothing. #wotc_staff
Look, here someone is to say it's too hard.
It's not too hard. My computer can do those calculations in 1/10th the time it takes me to move the mouse cursor from one +N button to another button.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_search_algorithm
"An indeterminate amount of times" is like, maybe 10, max, for the number of times you could possibly click the +5 mana button before running out of time.
If we're binary searching, what is the max value that we're considering for the search? We may miss the actual X value. If the actual max value for X is pretty low, we're wasting a lot of times attempting to calculate autotap solutions for X values that are too high. The autotap algorithm is both complex and expensive, performance-wise. We'd rather run it as infrequently as possible.
Additionally, there are factors in the practical calculation of X that autotap really can't consider. If you're casting [[Erebos's Intervention]] and there's a [[Jubilent Skybonder]] on the field, we don't know what your target is at the time you're picking X. If we think X can be 4 because you can afford 4B and not 5B, you're gonna get an unpayable cost when you pick the Skybonder and have to pay 6B. #wotc_staff
People regularly come into these threads to say that it's too hard for Arena to give you the Max, because reasons. But they miss that the logic already exists in Arena.
What happens if you choose an X you can pay? Arena pays it. What happens if you choose an X you can't pay? Arena says, uh... ok, go tap the mana, big guy, let's see if you get to X.
There's a difference between "solve for 12" and "find the greatest number X such that you can solve for X". The latter involves doing the former an indeterminate number of times, especially with restricted mana that can only be spent on certain costs, such as from [[Castle Garenbrig]]. #wotc_staff
Ben what about the land counting thing? I personally always have to carefully stare at the stacks of land and count them. I would much prefer just knowing exactly how much I have at a glance.
If what you want to know is how much mana you can make, a Float All Mana button is coming soon, and you can Undo after pushing it. #wotc_staff
Okay give me a “Tap All” button then that auto taps all lands that only produce one color.
That's coming in the next release, actually! #wotc_staff
