@Drecon:


So... business as usual is what you're saying?


Exactly this. As kind as Lexie is when she has an appearance, the big rants and complaints of the community have never been adressed here.


To a certain degree I understand this - going into detail with this community would be like opening pandora's box for them :P.


On the other hand it's dissapointing from our point of view - there are topics going around since beta which aren't getting a single comment for months ...

If a post hasn't gotten a reply, it's probably due to one of these things:

  • What I have to say doesn't make anything better or add to the conversation in any way. I used to jump in on shuffler threads, but did that help? Did it change anyone's mind? Did it make that person feel better? Nope.
  • What players are asking or talking abo...

@Garth:

I am a bit surprised that there is no activity from Lexie or other staff for a week now.
No planned update either. Theros basic lands availability still not solved, no news, no new events in sight...
Why?

Hi. I'm here lurking, as usual. We talk about updates and new events when we are ready to do so. If there isn't anything to share, it's going to be a quiet week. Sorry about that!

As for the Theros basic lands, they're on peoples' accounts now. If yours didn't show up for some reason, please contact support because that needs to be addressed.

The current big news is MTG Worlds happening soon. You can follow those updates/hype ...

Can I ask what the reasoning behind this ruling is? I just ended up looking up the ruling after returning to nature a dreadful apathy after its ability is on the stack. It seems strange that "Exile enchanted creature" resolves when there is no enchanted creature when the ability resolves.

The notion is that "creature" in "enchanted creature" is just clarifying text, not actually constraining. It really means "the object that this is (or was via last-known information) attached to". There are similar rulings around phrases like "that creature" or "the chosen creature" - they really just mean "the same object we referred to before, it doesn't still have to be a creature." #wotc_staff

Appears to be a bug. I'll look into it today. #wotc_staff

The placeholders, they are seeeeecret! We probably shouldn't show them in that menu though. #wotc_staff

Hey, just wondering if this is a known issue also:

In sealed the other day, I played the Entrancing Lyre and tapped it to tap opponent's creature. In response they played Return To Nature and destroyed it.

Their creature remained tapped every turn, even though the Lyre didn't exist. Also, the trigger for the Lyre remained on the screen and never went away for the rest of the game, obscuring other triggers.

edit: Some other details I recalled, not sure if it will help - the creature I tapped was a black token. I believe it was a 2/2 from Aphemia or the Tymaret Calls The Dead saga. It had a counter and an enchant on it, the one that doubles counters. Hydra's Growth.

Yes, we have a fix for that too. #wotc_staff
