Still sane, exile?
Seriously loving all the PoE refs this joke is generating.
Before people freak out; you can use any version of a card as long as one version is legal in that format, so as long as a card is reprinted, any old style will also be usable.
Has this been confirmed? I asked about this on the MTGA forum once and the only reply I got was from someone who said that was still unclear. That was last week, before the update, though.
Yes, it works this way. From the cosmetics FAQ (https://forums.mtgarena.com/forums/threads/53744):
HOW WILL CARD STYLES WORK WITH ROTATION?
After the fall set rotation, you will have ways to continue to play with all the cards in your collection. This includes using any card styles those cards may have.
Additionally, if a card is legal in a particular format you will have the option to use any card that has the same name as it regardless of the illustration. Card styles for the older versions of cards reprinted with new illustrations will still function if you’re using the older version of the card in your deck.
For example, once Core Set 2019 and Rivals of Ixalan rotate out of Standard, you will still be able to use your copies of Luminous Bonds and its card style from those sets in Standard since Luminous Bonds was also printed in Guilds of Ravnica. Once Guilds of Ravnica rotates out of Standard, you will no longer be able to use any copy of Luminous Bonds in Standard unless it...
Read moreThanks for this OP; was a fun minor heart attack when I saw it yesterday morning: “I thought all the codes were getting announced during the broadcast? I don’t even remember this code; what the hell is .... ohhhh. Nice. Nice. Good Game.”
Not sure if you know this (so maybe I'm whooshing here), but the person who posted the original version of this meme (/u/SpanglishFran) is the Arena dev who worked on the Sparky AI. Turning his own meme against his lovely creation is a pretty delicious turn of events. Bolas is pleased.
Yeah they changed it cause the strongest deck was 20 mountains 40 lightning bolts, no joke
The deck with just [Rukh Egg] (no lands) was pretty funny too. Note that the original text had the token created anytime the card went to the graveyard, including discard.
The developer of POE is a long time mtg affecionado and has a vast and expensive collection of mtg cards including black lotus and original dual lands.
In fact, lots of Poe maps are named after mtg cards
Several of the developers of Arena are long-time poe aficionados and, uh, one of us got a Headhunter this league?
Yeah, it's a great game as well. Still haven't used the headhunter yet, have to get by with inspired learning.
Afaik some of the devs are trying out ssf as well, got to admire the dedication!
Oh yeah, I’m always ssf; have been basically since the option was available. Feels like playing “limited” poe.
Been reported for a long time - they haven't yet fixed it though
We’ve tried :( Seems like there’s still a small window where this can happen. We’re looking at it now to see how this can still occur. Did you have a sideboard? Knowing that will help us narrow down the problem.
FIX STACKED BLOCKING
We’re working on it. Was talking to a dev about this literally 10 min ago.
