Hey Jay! Also, Sparky won't let you play against her if you use any rebalanced card. Is that also something you're working on?

Yup, that’s something we’re working to enable

I'm mostly in favour of removing the beginner set cards, but it's super confusing to log in and see your decks listed as being illegal with no indication of why. :/

Agreed, and sorry for the confusion. This was supposed to be in the State of the Game, but unfortunately got left out. It's a change I think most people will like, but making it confusing certainly doesn't help perception :(

With this release we removed the Arena Base Set cards from Standard legality and moved them to only being legal in our digital-only formats (Alchemy, Historic, Historic Brawl, etc.). This makes Standard exactly match tabletop in both best-of-one and best-of-three. Brawl uses Standard legality, so cards like Murder or Zephyr Gull are no longer allowed because they're not in Standard.

I think the Brawl format staples should be explicitly allowed, however. We'll get cards like Arcane Signet and Command Tower added back soon.
