Calling this phenomenon "Gatecrash"... Bravo for that. :D
We fixed it. Should be better in the upcoming release.
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.
How do the card styles work with things like the alt-art PWs we got for closed beta?
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 ...

Do you provide the deck that the AI plays?
Can you give it a deck that you don't own the cards for? (So that I can practice against Teferi control without spending wildcards on Teferi.)
Do the decks have to be Standard legal? (I want to know how a particular card does in a matchup, so I want to be sure I draw it in a practice run ... can I play a deck with 8 copies? If not in my deck, then in the AI deck?)
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
If I make my opponent aware of this fact will it affect them too and leave us both mana screwed?
If so, all the more reason we need a way to chat with our opponents.
I just checked the source:
devtrackers.gg
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.
Just curious, if it read "create a goblin token with haste that must attack" instead of its current text, would the haste + 'must attack' carry over onto the angel?
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.

The weird thing I think with LWB that needs to be addresses is his interaction with [[Devine Visitation]]. Token is a 4/4 angel but it still has the mandate to attack it's first round in.
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.

Feels like I should be able to say, "I'm an above average player, I should be able to get past gold." Then I remember how many people have played this forever and really know their stuff, and I realized I am certainly below average.
Think I'm fine with gold 3, lol.
If it makes you feel any better, I've been playing for 20 years and still hang out in silver :D

I'm like 99% sure it's Joanna Louise Wyatt, voice actress for Ciri in The Witcher 3.
Good ear! It is Jo Wyatt.

You had a roller backpack too didn't you?
"had"?
He has a great video describing the colors, and his blue description is spectacular (7:20 timestamp):
Confirming,

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?
Heck yah you can! This is one of my favorite pieces (advanced filters were a weekend project I did for fun).
You can use "owned" or "q" to filter on how many you own
Ravnica Allegiance cards you have a playset of:
e:rna q=4
Ravnica Allegiance card you have less than a playset of:
e:rna q<4
Or let's say you wanted to see what's needed to complete your Common/Uncommon playset of Ravnica Allegience:
e:rna q<4 (r:c or r:u)
I'll post more when I get some time. :D
Oh. But I should note. Because I didn't want to bust the existing functionality for a pet project, the text search is
combined with the button filters. So if you want to see things you don't own from a text search, remember to pop in to the Advanced Filters section (the button by the colors that has sliders on it) and make sure "Not Collected" is turned on.
Any idea if you can search for cards by the number you have in your collection? IE, I want to see all the cards I have playsets of.
I tried 'number:x', 'num:x' and 'collected:x', but no joy.
