Does this happen immediately when trying to find a match or only after you wait in the queue for some time?

That's annoying. The Arena support site still has a page saying you can skip it, too.

Thanks though!

You can click View Account and skip it from in there.

@rfh:

it looks like if you get all 25 orbs before you play with a different colour deck, you can no longer unlock the coloured orbs, even if you play with a different coloured deck.

Yeah, we have this in our backlog to fix. There's a workaround - if you log out and back in from the options menu, it will let you spend the orbs once you've played with the relevant deck.

We will be deploying a client update on April 17th, 2019 at approximately 1:15PM PDT (20:15 UTC). While no downtime is expected, players will be notified in-game that an update is available and will be required to download a small patch the next time Magic: The Gathering Arena is launched.


Additional Information: We removed the carousel item highlighting the Friday Night Magic code cards, however the event and promotion is still planned for United States/Canada (excluding Quebec). Please check with your local WPN store for event times and participation: ...

We’re working on it. Was talking to a dev about this literally 10 min ago.

The counter spell should be on the stack, but I’m not sure that it can target bolt bend. My guess would be that the counter goes on the stack, bolt bend goes above it, changes the target to bolt bend and resolves, leaving the stack and the counter fizzles with no legal target. I’m not exactly /u/WoTC_ChrisClay, so I might be mistaken here

I am Chris Clay, and you can use spells like Bolt Bend to work around a counterspell like this.

We’ve tried :( Seems like there’s still a small window where this can happen. We’re looking at it now to see how this can still occur. Did you have a sideboard? Knowing that will help us narrow down the problem.

It only works on the turn she enters.

Yeah, it's a great game as well. Still haven't used the headhunter yet, have to get by with inspired learning.

Afaik some of the devs are trying out ssf as well, got to admire the dedication!

Oh yeah, I’m always ssf; have been basically since the option was available. Feels like playing “limited” poe.

The developer of POE is a long time mtg affecionado and has a vast and expensive collection of mtg cards including black lotus and original dual lands.

In fact, lots of Poe maps are named after mtg cards

Several of the developers of Arena are long-time poe aficionados and, uh, one of us got a Headhunter this league?

Yeah they changed it cause the strongest deck was 20 mountains 40 lightning bolts, no joke

The deck with just [Rukh Egg] (no lands) was pretty funny too. Note that the original text had the token created anytime the card went to the graveyard, including discard.

Not sure if you know this (so maybe I'm whooshing here), but the person who posted the original version of this meme (/u/SpanglishFran) is the Arena dev who worked on the Sparky AI. Turning his own meme against his lovely creation is a pretty delicious turn of events. Bolas is pleased.

As soon as I saw this, I called dibs on it for Arena (I think something about it having an if-then modifying a trigger that triggers it didn't work). I love this little guy!

#wotcstaff

It was about the compound-ness of the trigger, which was supported for 'intervening if' like [[Prized Amalgam]] but not simple 'resolution-time ifs'. #wotc_staff
