Magic The Gathering: Arena Dev Tracker

Sadly, Unclaimed Territory did not get autotap love for this update, but it should be improved for the War of the Spark release. #wotc_staff

Right-Clicking on any card that you don't have 4x copies of will also open up the crafting menu. You can click on the 4th pip below the cards to craft them all in one go.

Definitely hear the feedback that two clicks to get to your uncollected cards is more annoying than one.

Ain’t that the truth

Hey everyone,

We realized belatedly that we had sent outdated decklists to the good folks at DailyMTG. We pulled the article for now until we can get it updated with the correct information. That's on us, and we apologize for any confusion:

1. The checklands are still in the dual colored decks; there are no changes to the dual colored decklists with this update, just how you receive them (through the mastery tree and player progression).
2. There are changes to the monocolored decks because you unlock upgrades with the new progression system, however once those ungrades are unlocked you'll end up with the same deck as would have previously received (pending you haven't made any other changes, of course).

The correct behavior is for [[Mirror Image]] to display the name of the copied creature, thus explaining its susceptibility to the legend rule. We will be fixing this in an upcoming update.

I happened to encounter this issue when trying to use Mirror Image to make copies of [[Helm of the Host]] (turned into a creature thanks to [[Tezzeret, Cruel Machinist]]) but was denied!

We do have an indicator for this now, but it's obviously not clear enough (since we keep getting this feedback). If you hover over the cards in your graveyard, one of them will have a hanger (the text boxes on the side of the card in mouse-over) that says "Targeted by Eldest Reborn" (or whatever), so you can tell which is which. It's on our list to make this louder/more clear, but at least it is there now.

There are similar issues with a number of other cards (which one has the enchantment? Which one has the equipment? Which one is protected by Dauntless Bodyguard? etc.) The added text solution only covers some of the cases, so that's why we went the way we did

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.

#wotcstaff

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.
