We sent Bolas and [[Chandra, Fire Artisan]] to their rooms with everyone else. They do *technically* have passives, but they really aren't going to work the way players would want, so we thought we'd save folks a little pain.

And, uh, it looks like [[Jace, Arcane Strategist]] got hit with the banstick despite having a viable passive? That's an error on our part, but at this point, we're probably gonna let it ride. Sorry about that. :|

All of the pets that we have made are pretty much in Magic cards and/or follow the theme of the set. Owls are very important in Greek mythology, there's a fox in [[Glass Casket]] (plus it fits the Eldraine theme, [[Wildborn Preserver]] anyone??), Puppet Jace was in [[Cult Guildmage]], the dragon was literally [[Dragon Whelp]], etc.

We just like to make cool pets.

I'll pass along the compliments. Thank YOU for playing!

We definitely read these, and we're working on it! Just don't have any details that we can share yet. Sorry about that.

Hey, USER14.test is a friend of mine and a great person.

This is maybe my second-biggest "as a player" want for the game. And I'm also the jerk that has to keep pushing it further down the schedule. One day.

Good list; I especially appreciate the detail around why you want these things and the reasonable, friendly tone. Some quick thoughts:

01) Expanded comment selection - As others have pointed out, this needs to be carefully handled to avoid generating more annoying/spammy situations for players. We'd like to find a way to give the good parts without also bringing the bad. We feel like we've got a handle on that; you'll want to check out the State of the Game that drops in a few days.

02) Two more seconds - To do what you want (give the "Good game" response) we'd also have to hold an opponent that already conceded in the match for another two seconds. If a player concedes, they want out quickly and we don't want to get in the way there.

03) Allow us to friend opponents - As others have pointed out, in other games this is most often used for toxic, rather than friendly, reasons. We would like to deliver the good parts here, but absolutely don't want to inflic...

Is it possible to learn this power?
