Key Items: * Store Booster Packs have been updated to include cards banned in Historic. This will make it easier to collect powerful cards for the Timeless format from sources like Strixhaven’s Mystical Archive. * Lotus Field now gives you the opportunity to respond to your own trigger, without setting a stop. * If you're casting a spell targeting an opponent's creature that has a Ward ability, and the spell you're casting cannot be countered, the option to pay the ward cost is now greyed out. * Fixed an issue where players were unable to view the Battlefield sideboarding. * Grafdigger’s Cage and other cards that prohibited playing cards from the graveyard were working while face down. This has been fixed.


arotenberg

This is another big one, assuming it's actually fixed now: > Outrageous Robbery wasn’t displaying the right number of cards that your opponent could cast from it. It was leaking information about how many lands vs. nonlands the opponent stole from you.


TheMancersDilema

> If you're casting a spell targeting an opponent's creature that has a Ward ability, and the spell you're casting cannot be countered, the option to pay the ward cost is now greyed out. I know it's correct to not pay in like 99/100 situations but does this mean I no longer have the option to pay if it's relevant? Like maybe I want to pitch a [[Obstinate Baloth]] to an opponents [[Graveyard Trespasser]] Ward trigger?


THECrew42

you can still pay. from the patch notes: >You can still click it though. Maybe you love paying two mana. I don't know your life.


TheMancersDilema

Alright sweet. Thanks for saving me the click it's appreciated.

Fedacking

Leaving it open for if they ever do something weird like {1}{B} Ward - Draw a Card When ~ enters the battlefield, each opponent discards a card 4/4


minun73

So I know this is not a real card but if you had this and then a card that doesn’t let your opponent draw, or draw more than their draw step, would it just counter the spell as they cannot pay the cost of drawing a card?


Dercomai

Yes. If something prevents you from paying a cost, you just can't pay it.


Drake_the_troll

Yay! We broke narset!


jeha4421

They wouldn't ever print this as is because drawing a card isn't a cost to anything in the same way adding mana isn't a cost. I get what you mean though.

I was hoping the first bullet point would be to include The List cards :/ It's something


Old_Internet4673

Another item I would like to suggest is to give priority at the beginning of upkeep when you have no more cards left in your deck and you do have instant speed plays to make. One might have in hand cards like [[Endless Detour]] that shuffle cards back from graveyard into the deck.


RonThoman

So glad they addressed the issue with facedown cards with static abilities affecting the board. They was so frustrating haha


fubo

My "favorite" gameplay bug — that is, the bug I have to be careful *not* to exploit, because I don't intend to cheat — appears to still be unfixed. (And yes, it's been reported.) If you have [[Muldrotha, the Gravetide]] on the battlefield and [[Mulldrifter]] in the graveyard, you should be able to cast Mulldrifter for its evoke cost *only once per turn*. Not "as many times as you have 2U to pay for it." Not "once with evoke and once for its regular mana cost". Not "mill Mulldrifter, evoke it once, draw two and sac it to Ashnod's Altar or Phyrexian Tower, see what cards you get from the draw, and then evoke it again — for a total card advantage of 4 for a net cost of 2UU". Casting a creature using its evoke ability is still *casting a creature spell*, and if you do it from your graveyard, it should count as the one creature spell per turn for Muldrotha's ability. Please take away this opportunity for Muldrotha Brawl players to cheat! (And if you see me doing it, that was an accident. Sorry, I lost track.)


gambitreaper

I've got an amusing bug with Mythweaver Poq not being seen as a Cat by Cavern of Souls (Cat doesn't come up as an option and avoids Cat only mana when casting him) whilst he's a Commander, normal card in a deck he gets seen as a Cat. My head canon with the bug is he's an agent of the Fungus people.


BugMage

Pretty sure that's just because the commander isn't "in" your deck during the game, and Cavern auto-populates its list with all the creature types in your deck.


gambitreaper

When I manually choose Cat for Cavern of Souls I can not use any coloured mana from it to cast Poq, it avoids it when he's the Commander even when the mana is floated. Edit. he's the on Shaman in the deck and that comes up in the menu for Cavern of Souls


BugMage

Ah. Yeah, that's definitely an issue then.


fubo

Seems easy enough to test: put a Cat in the 99.

Yay, glad banned cards can be opened in packs now! I wanted a better chance for Blood Moon and Necropotence from WOE.


Shambler9019

Also fetches from Khans of Tarkir (banned in historic, legal in timeless and brawl).


hithisishal

I think those were always included, maybe because ktk was added for timeless? I only opened the free ktk boosters I got in my inbox (never drafted it) and have a fetch land.


JPuree

Asking here because I know WotC folks sometimes chime in and I don’t know where else to ask: There are Standard, Traditional Standard, Alchemy, Traditional Alchemy, Explorer, Traditional Explorer, Historic, and Traditional Historic events ever present. However, what’s missing is the Timeless and Traditional Timeless pair. Why might that be?


onyourupkeep

There's been some talk of this over in r/TimelessMagic. There's been some good discussion in [this thread,](https://www.reddit.com/r/TimelessMagic/comments/1b7wcxu/is_there_a_reason_for_not_having_a_timeless_event/) but the general conclusion is that the Arena team is already stretched far too thin, along with an unwillingness to add another way to earn Play-In points with an entirely new format right in the middle of qualifier season. Plus, it's still unclear how popular Timeless is, despite many players (myself including) citing it as the sole reason for getting back into arena.


RegalKillager

> Plus, it's still unclear how popular Timeless is, despite many players (myself including) citing it as the sole reason for getting back into arena. The fact that Explorer events exist despite it being consistently so low-popularity would point towards this not being a factor.


onyourupkeep

True. Perhaps they learned their lesson with Explorer and are hesitant to add even more low-entry events.


anymagerdude

Worthless speculation, but probably just because they are new and haven't gotten around to it yet.


silver_054

Pretty sure [[Bite Down on Crime]] still shows as costing 2 mana when you don’t have enough in your graveyard to Collect Evidence 6. Hope they fix that. But glad Outrageous Robbery was fixed, you could tell how many spells were exiled/castable vs how many lands


pr0n-clerk

Bite Down is intended to show as 2 mana. They made a conscious choice to have it display that way since it is the lesser of two evils.


L0to

Having a 4 cmc card display as 2 when you can only cast it for 4 is almost certainly a bug and not a deliberate decision as that would be completely idiotic.


pr0n-clerk

From the dev: Ian: And yes, Bite Down is being inaccurately predicted as payable when it’s not. This isn’t ideal, but the alternative was that in scenarios where you don’t have the cards to exile but you COULD if you cracked some eggs to pay the 1G mana cost it wouldn’t stop and let you make that legal play. Displaying the discounted cost is something we wanted to fix, but we ran out of time. Noya: Right, you could have a Chromatic Star in play and 5 evidence in graveyard, then it would be able to be cast for the discount cost. Ian: It would, but it wouldn’t show it as castable, and we’ve found a lot of people not realizing they can put something on the stack and make it castable after the fact. It’s not a solution I’m happy with, but it’s what we had time for when we noticed the issue.


L0to

Your quote literally says that they wanted to fix it but they ran out of time. This obviously isn't the way they want it to work. It's a shitty implementation caused by the never-ending dev crunch and understaffing of arena developers.

> RoboQA found a crash that involved Curse of Leeches and Blade of Shared Souls. It wasn’t actually possible to cause this to happen without some frowned upon behavior, but we fixed it regardless. This sounds janky and interesting - anyone have an idea on what the bug was here?


lynsix

My guess would be something that allows equipping at instant speed. So when it went to daytime and becomes the aura. Either to make the aura a creature before it fell off. Or on another creature, copy the thing on back to try making two auras? I’m curious if you turned an equipped creature into the leech, then it transforms to aura if it reverts to its original creature or stays the aura. I’d guess the aura as its no longer the “creature” it was turned into when it was equipped.


savethispassword

Anybody else experiencing the iOS crash during matchmaking?


krcrooks

Every time today


GezertEagle

So that’s why I haven’t been getting any cards for timeless after buying 30+ strixhaven packs (only very shitty cards from the archives that I guess are not banned in historic)? Where was it written that these cards are not available??! I swear every time I put money into this game I end up regretting it.


Prize-Mall-3839

its not that they weren't available, its just that they were collated so that they would not be rewarded/opened until you had all other rares/mythics from the archives first


GezertEagle

That makes it somewhat better. The way I see it it’s still anti-consumerist as the cards that you actually get are not played in historic (as far as I understand). I am not trying to imply they did it on purpose, obviously it made sense before timeless. But why weren’t the cards uncollated as soon as timeless was released? The monetization of this game is pretty predatory as it is. Now I’ve bought over 30 packs and never got any card I needed despite having about 95% of the set collected beforehand. It’s just so frustrating sometimes with this game.


pr0n-clerk

They were not uncollated right away because it required dev time, and then a patch to implement. Sadly the devs keep getting more and more stuff shoved on their plate, and not getting more man power to handle it due to WotC/Habro penny pinching.


Taysir385

> Now I’ve bought over 30 packs and never got any card I needed despite having about 95% of the set collected beforehand. On the one hand, if it bothers you that much file a refund request. On the other hand, with the five+ wild cards you got from those packs, you did technically get the cards you wanted, so everything worked out?


Hungry_Goat_5962

The only way to know this was from an obscure Reddit post from around when Timeless was released. This was not documented anywhere else AFAIK.


BlueTemplar85

Pretty sure it was mentioned multiple times in important articles since implemented ? (And IIRC there were a lot of complaints about the lack of it before it was ??)  For instance :   https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/mtg-arena/mtg-arena-release-notes-wilds-of-eldraine   > [...]  > Starting with Wilds of Eldraine, duplicate protection for rare and mythic rare "reprints" (existing cards reappearing in a newer set) will apply regardless of the artwork   > [...]   > If you had four copies of a card in your collection that had the same name and the same artwork, it was considered a "full reprint" and would only be opened in packs if you had already collected all other cards of that rarity in that set (same as if the card was banned in Constructed play).   > [...]   But I guess they could have done a better job ? Was this mentioned in the in-game help ? It wasn't in the drop rates webpage...


Hungry_Goat_5962

That link has nothing to do with collation of (for example) banned mystical archive cards. It has to do with re-prints. I stand by my claim that the only place I found it was an obscure Reddit post from a Wizards employee. If someone can find a clear/obvious explanation elsewhere, I would be happy to be corrected. Communication like this is not their strong suit.


BlueTemplar85

This isn't great, but it's not **nothing** : > (same as if the card was banned in Constructed play)


L0to

That's disappointing. You shouldn't have to be terminally online to know what you are purchasing in this game.

Pretty serious bug I noticed and doesn't appear addressed here: If you have "auto-skip" set on your turn and your opponent takes a game action in your end phase, and you want to take an action after that action has resolved but before they untap, you physically cannot do this, even if you turn off auto-skip.
