No problem! I was formerly QA before moving into design so bug writing is engrained in my soul at this point 🤣 Glad it was helpful!

Love the QA to design pipeline! Ian (who runs our Cardset team) and one of his senior designers both started as QA.

Nicely, our QA team caught this too, it was already in our system, and should be fixed in Tuesday's TDM Alchemy release!

The Monastery Mentor Mentor. 

That's exactly what we called it as we were designing it

This certainly reads and looks like a bug to me. Thanks for your nice, clear writeup! I've passed this on to our QA team to dig into

Hey, sorry that happened to you! It sounds like a bug, and I've passed this on to our QA team to investigate

We looked at trying to fix this for the last update, but it took deeper surgery than was safe on that timeline. Should be fixed in our next update (M21 release).

Thanks for the response! When will we get to see what the 5 mastery pass dogs look like?

After previews are complete for M21

Is one of the "dog-themed pet variants" the same dog you get from ordering both pre-order bundles? I really want that dog but don't want to shell out $100.

No, the armored pre-order doggo is not awarded on the pass (that has 5 different dogs).

Hey Jay, just wanted to say that the you were mentioned a few times on Maro's podcast and I found that hilarious. Thanks for taking care of mtga for us and for enjoying Limited! You are the people's champion!

Oh cool, thanks for letting me know! Which episode was it?

This is fantastic news. Thanks for following up and letting us know.

I'm not sure if you can speak on it, but do you have any update on the timetable for when the Arena MacOS client will be available? Last I read, pre-COVID, it was Summer 2020.

Like most folks in this thread, I play through GeForce Now because I am on a Mac but would much rather play it natively. Regardless, thank you again

Nothing to say there now other than that we still feel good about that “Summer 2020” timing. Also, as a Mac gamer since around 1986, I get it. We hope to have more to say here before too long.

We’re working with NVIDIA to ensure Arena stays available to players here.

Because we don’t want players to feel like they’re “losing out” on their constructed rank if they want to play both. If they were separate, a player that wanted to climb the ranks would need to pick one at the start of each season and stick with that. We think it’s better to allow them to go back and forth however they want, making progress on the same rank the whole time.

Shawt_WOTC

Hey that's me!

I can't tell you how happy I was to see you running a High Alert deck. (Sorry for spamming "Nice!" I was just so happy to see it) I consider myself a connoisseur of jank, here's the pile I was running in that game:

Deck

  • 4 Claim the Firstborn (ELD) 118
  • 19 Mountain (IKO) 271
  • 4 Act of Treason (RNA) 91
  • 4 The Akroan War (THB) 124
  • 4 Lukka, Coppercoat Outcast (IKO) 125
  • 2 Mask of Immolation (M20) 151
  • 3 Drakuseth, Maw of Flames (M20) 136
  • 4 Yidaro, Wandering Monster (IKO) 141
  • 4 Witch's Oven (ELD) 237
  • 4 Dwarven Mine (ELD) 243
  • 3 Go for Blood (IKO) 122
  • 1 Weaponize the Monsters (IKO) 140
  • 4 Heartfire (WAR) 131

I can vouch that this is the same shawt from that account, and that he works on Arena with me. And also that he plays a lot of silly jank.

Not sure how this happened, but it's a bug. We're investigating now, but 91% is the intended discount. We will run an automated process within a few days to refund the difference to anyone who purchased at the higher price.

The refund process is now complete; anyone who bought at the 80% discount got refunded gold/gems to make up the difference to the 91% discount.

Working on it. There’s actually a few tech bits we need to do this (lands work differently than styles in various ways), but it’s something we’d like to do.

Reliques

If we craft it for collector value, will it be taken away from us in the future?

Likely, yes. If we do take it away, we would refund any wildcards spent.

It's 80% off for me after the update wtf

Yes, do not craft this. It's a bug that it is available, and it is not usable in any format. It's an emblem we have been testing that you'll see in an upcoming event. (We implement all of these internally as cards.)

On the Mastermind Emblem, do not craft this. It's a bug that it is available, and it is not usable in any format. It's an emblem we have been testing that you'll see in an upcoming event. (We implement all of these internally as cards.) It's not useful in any way in game.

This should be fixed in the next update.

Filobel

It looks a lot like the cat in [[Offspring's Revenge]], but as the other person said, that's just what cats look like on Ikoria.

Ya, Offspring’s Revenge was the inspiration here.
