Similar thing happens with Tamiyo.
If opponent steals your creature and attempts to sacrifice it, Tamiyo is preventing that even though it's not under your control anymore.
Yup, my fix covers both. #wotc_staff

Hey, if you weren't aware, if you steal Narset with Mass Manipulation, it still prevents you from drawing cards, even though Narset is under your control. Really frustrating bug that is costing me a lot of games versus esper :(.
Yup, aware of that one, fix will be live soon. Thanks! #wotc_staff
Yikes. I have an idea of what could be going wrong - I'll look at this tomorrow. #wotc_staff
Yup, that sounds wrong. I'll try to fix it tomorrow and post here what's going on (because I'm pretty surprised!). #wotc_staff
EDIT: We're not having success reproducing this. If anyone runs into this issue, I'd really appreciate a video! Alternatively your username and the time of the game could help us track down the logs for the game. Feel free to reply here or PM me.
@WizardsAlan:
Thanks - we're aware this is too easy to misclick currently. You can request a refund here.Is there a means to be refunded the lost 4000 gold ? I know it seems pointless but it's a lot when you get started.
Yes, contact us here and we can help with a refund.
Twitter and reddit for social, email from coworkers, specs for upcoming features, data about events, card usage, various results into queries, player behavior, future sets, honestly this goes on, it's a long list!

I bet it 'thought' In Oketra's Name was a creature and so the other-creatures part gave all creatures you control +1/+1 -- zombies getting +3/+2 in total? :D
Well, it doesn't matter whether or not the card is a creature, just that it's a card-like object (after all, maybe it's a permanent that was a creature and isn't any longer). But yeah, it thought that "other" was "other than this card." #wotc_staff
Can you give us an example of one where you had to change the text?
My favorite example was Amonkhet's [In Oketra's Name]:
Oracle: Zombies you control get +2/+1 until end of turn. Other creatures you control get +1/+1 until end of turn.
Substitution: Zombies you control get +2/+1 until end of turn. Non-Zombie creatures you control get +1/+1 until end of turn.
As I said above, anaphora resolution is hard. #wotc_staff
I wonder, how(ish) are cards written? I would've expected Dead Man's Chest to look under the hood like 'you may cast {non-land cards from among them}' or maybe '{non-land cards exiled this way that haven't since changed zones}', and then it would seem hard for Arena to mistake. Maybe the program is given only the same English text we see, at least initially until a bug crops up (like happened with Cry of the Carnarium after some creatures had died)?
Virtually always the parser is given the exact Oracle text of the card (and we consider it a sad failing if we have to use se different text). For most bugs including this and the Cry of the Carnarium one, we fix how the parser interprets that text. #wotc_staff
Some Gideon decks were printed with Jace deck codes. Since those are limited to one-per-account, you'll get a failure when trying to use it. Please contact us here, and we'll help get the Gideon deck onto your account.
Good old anaphora resolution, the blackest of linguistic magics. The parser asks "What are 'those spells'?" It walks back through the sentence, and sees "nonland cards", and didn't get the semantics of "from among them". Thanks for the report, I've got a fix ready. #wotc_staff.

With an empty stack, the settings the client sends to the game server make it so that you do not get priority during your opponent's postcombat main phase (with the normally correct justification that you can do whatever you were going to do during the end step). The problem comes up only if the last thing your opponent does is get a permanent that has an end-step trigger.
Basically in order to not make this a spaghetti-code one-situation-exception, we need to pretty heavily rework our approach to how the game gives you priority by default. This is a pretty big undertaking.
Also, we're still working on future cardsets, bugfixes, etc. This problem is significant, but it's not the only task vying for our limited attention. #wotc_staff
