Magic The Gathering: Arena Dev Tracker

There’s not really a way to tell in that situation currently. In our next update there are some improvements here, where the order is preserved when you “View Battlefield” from the order blockers screen. So you can note that the cards are under blockers 2&3, slide one of them over in order blockers, hit view battlefield to check, and you’ll see that blocker left-most in the order.

Hi Planeswalkers

I'm Chris, a new member of the Wizards Community team. We couldn't be more excited for the upcoming Mythic Invitational and put together this quick guide for reference.

If you're at the event, keep an eye out for all sorts of fun stuff happening such as trivia and giveaways. If you're following on Twitch and other social channels, we'll have trivia there too!

We look forward to seeing you either at PAX East or online.

1. Calling this phenomenon "Gatecrash"... Bravo for that. :D

2. We fixed it. Should be better in the upcoming release.

3. Just for fun, some hints about the code branch we missed: If a typical standard deck wants 24 lands and you have 10 non-basics, how many basics should you add to fill out your land count? Okay, now do that math for 25 non-basics. ;) Little bit of a facepalm, but it was easy to fix.

Card styles are based on the card's illustration, and not the card's name. A card with the same name (e.g. Luminous Bonds) but multiple illustrations (Core Set 2019, Guilds of Ravnica) would have separate card styles for each illustration.

So, using the example of the Masterpiece Planeswalkers from Guilds of Ravnica - if we were to make a card style for the ...

You can bring any arena standard legal deck to a practice match, and Sparky will join with one of the five monocolor starter decks.

We feel this strikes the right balance between giving new players the ability to learn Magic in a low-stress environment, while providing more veteran players a place to “goldfish” (friendly-glowing-guidefish?) their newer decks before taking them into matches against real players. #wotc_staff

I just checked the source:

if (player.isFirstToBeAwareOfFact(MANA_SCREW)) {
    this.activateManaScrew(player, EXTREME);
} else {
    this.activateProTopDecks(player);
}

Popping in to give an update. You're right! It is annoying! So we've worked towards addressing it. The fix for this is currently going through internal testing and should reach players soon.

No, in that case, neither carry over- however it would probably read something like:

"Create a 1/1 red Goblin creature token with haste and 'this creature must attack each turn if able'". In this case, both haste and the attack requirement are abilities that the goblin has. Legion Warboss just grants [whatever it creates] haste and an attack requirement.

#wotcstaff

Token is a 4/4 angel but it still has the mandate to attack it's first round in.

That's exactly what should happen! Divine Visitation only replaces characteristics of the token itself, not any other effects that apply to it.

If it makes you feel any better, I've been playing for 20 years and still hang out in silver :D

Good ear! It is Jo Wyatt.

Confirming,

• was always early to class

Congrats to the amazing mods and to all the members of the sub-reddit for passing the 100k milestone!

Doh. I looked into this. Know exactly why it's happening. It won't be fixed in the 0.12.01.00 update, but we'll try to put it in the next one after that.

I posted on a couple similar threads over the weekend, but I'll give a quick update here. We've found a few issues we think will help at least some of the cases and we have some leads on some other areas we need to look into. We've also added some more reporting and logging so we can get a better picture of what's happening.

We understand the frustration of getting disconnected and we are working hard to resolve it.

^{(Posting this in both major threads about this})

We are still looking into this. It's not happening in a controlled environment, so we are just trying to get a good look at it in the wild. We have some theories and have added some instrumentation to a custom build. If you see WotC_ChrisClay, hope he disconnects. He's playing with the instrumented build because he has experienced a few disconnects over the past couple days.

Thanks for the reports and the feedback. We'll get this sorted out as soon as we can.

P.S. Only we devs know if any unrelated "instrumentation" went into Chris's build...

No problem!

Alt + enter I think?
