any ETA on which update will have the favorite basic lands feature? I'd like to get the kamigawa block lands, but can't until this feature is live

Nothing specific to share yet, but it's not, like, right around the corner. There are a lot of pieces to that puzzle because it deals with cards and decks rather than just cosmetic items; it just felt worth calling out because it's all part of how players get to present themselves in game, and we know players are very interested in it.

I think this actually makes the card functionally better. When [[Shalai, Voice of Plenty]] or a similar effect was on the battlefield, you couldn't target your opponent with Blood Artist and the game automatically targeted you. Now you still won't be able to target your opponent, but at least your Blood Artist won't turn traitor.

Just to be clear, a Blood Artist pointed at yourself still gains you the life back, so it's almost always a wash that results in no change to the board state. This change does mean that you can't be forced to kill yourself if the opponent has, say, both Shalai and a Rampaging Ferocidon, but that's such a narrow case that we feel it's well worth it for the improved play experience.
