are the cards not just images?
how is just the text missing?

No, the cards are much more complex than "just images". Images wouldn't localize, dynamically update pinline colors as colors (or basic land types) are added, adjust to show gain/loss of legendary, etc.

Whenever i play bo3 and want to see the last game state during sideboarding all i get is a black screen. Am i the only one?

Playing on steam client and tried to verify integrity files but no luck there.

We are aware and investigating this. I was talking to engineers about it an hour ago, in fact.

This is one of the issues we are prioritizing fixing

There is, uh, absolutely no truth to any of these statements. No reason to panic, none at all. I don't even know why you would suggest that.

Sparky can't just start talking to someone mid-match, and if she did she would just be lying. But she doesn't and can't speak like this. So don't believe her if she does

Same deal here. Pixel 4a running android 13. I start the app and it starts loading to about 4% and then takes me back to my home screen. It does this every time I try, I haven't been able to open it since updating.

If you could PM me your accountName#1234, that could help us debug & solve this

Are you stuck in a loop of crashes, or were you able to get in properly after the one?

True Facts. This is not the Sparky fix, which we're still working to deliver. Getting this release out was part of what's blocking that, but there's one other thing we need to resolve.

Comment

We're seeing this in our post-release data (though we didn't see it in our testing). Can you give me any details on your phone model or Android version? Did you update from the prior version or was this a fresh install?

Thanks for confirming that. Whenever I run into someone who blatantly ropes I report them.

Follow-up question. Most of the time I also record my matches. If provided a link, would a WotC employee check the video as well or is the log file sufficient enough?

Log file is fine. We can pull the data on the match if we need it (how many times your opponent roped, etc.), which is easier & faster than reviewing a video

This is a pretty big waste of your time though considering WOTC has stated that they don't take actions based on these reports

I don't think we've ever said that, and if someone did they were wrong. The main way we penalize this behavior is through automated detection & banning (it's easy for a computer/script to identify players acting like OP describes), but we do use conduct reports as well

Royal assasin is one of my fav cards. Along with [[avatar of woe]]

I have a Royal Assassin sitting right behind me, framed alongside some other favorites from those early days (an Icy Manipulator and a Hippy)

Gamble, Show and Tell, Ghostly Prison, Fabricate and Victimize are definitely coming.

Crashing Footfalls might not come to Arena since it has a unique mechanic that doesnt exist on Arena.

EDIT: ALL OF THEM ARE COMING

Yes, all Special Guests are coming to Arena. As usual, there may be some cards that are pre-banned or pre-restricted in different formats, based on power level.

Hi all,

Seeing some questions around this so wanted to provide guidance:

  1. Yes - we sent out emails with 2023 stats (both some personal highlights and community stats!) yesterday. As others have mentioned, we also send these out for each frontlist set.
  2. If you did not receive the email and would like to:
    1. Make sure you are signed up for Wizards promotional emails (log in at https://myaccounts.wizards.com/account and click 'Edit Profile' and ensure the 'YES! Wizards may send me promotional emails...' box is checked).
    2. Submit a request via https://mtgarena-support.wizards.c...

How do these responses interact with gameplay? Is there a slider that self adjusts in-game so you play different player/deck type or difficulty? Or are the polls evaluated on your end and then changes made with a patch?

The latter one - Your answers (or skipping) won't have any direct impact on your play experience, but we use them to do things like understand how much different players like different types Mid-Week Magic events, etc.
