Any ETA on the Saheeli bug I reported a few weeks ago? Would really like to be able to use the style I paid for.

Should be fixed as well.

It worries me that their description of the impossible reconnection bug does not match exactly my experience:

(players can hear gameplay sounds, but only see a black screen until their timers run out or they fully restart their client)

1) It is not a black screen, but the waiting screen

2) Restarting the client does not help

Hopefully this is not a different bug. Either way, while they are fixing it, I wish they would try to speed-up the reconnection process. It takes way too long even when it works.

We’re working on that flavor of the issue as well. Same status, targeting a fix for Oct.

I get the reasoning others have mentioned. My issue is... Wednesday?! Why Wednesday? Why not Saturday or something? I'm just picturing them saying they don't get the numbers to justify expanding the queue days. Well, that's because people are working, at school, etc for most of the day.

Oddly, we get more games played on Wednesday than Saturday. Wednesday’s the second-highest volume day, which is one of the reasons we chose it. The goal is to have Brawl available as lots of people are playing, so we can get the best data (as per the reasoning cited above).

Is the brawl event a one time fee? Or do you get knocked out and have to repay?

These rewards can only be earned once, but don't worry—you can continue playing in the event beyond five wins.

This leads me to believe it's a one time fee, but I would rather be sure. If it is a one time fee it's definitely worth it and I'm excited for it.

One-time fee. Wins count towards the rewards, losses are ignored.

Dear u/WoTC_Jay I have found that 4 month ago you made a note regarding similar issue. Is there any news? Can we somehow choose which floating mana we want to use?

If you have autotap off in your options and are in full control you can manually select which mana to pay. We're working on making this easier to access, but that's how to get there currently.

Was on the play. Top-decked a Plains on T2 and was able to curve [[Flutterfox]] into [[Brimstone Trebuchet]] into a couple of turns of double Trebuchet activations (read: playing knights). He got out a turn 4 Garenbrig Paladin with Adamant which stopped the ground assault pretty well, but all I really needed was the Fox and the Trebuchet. Surprised he didn't kill either of them with [[Witch's Vengeance]] when he had the chance. (He named Giants with the Vengeance to kill my Bonecrusher Giant.) This was sealed, BTW.

I remember that game; I may well have chosen wrong by killing the giant; I missed that my paladin was a giant too, so it cost me the unblocked attack I was going for. Think I probably missed you had a food as I was trying to calculate lethal as well (or maybe that was one of the many, many other sealed games where I’ve done that).

The vault has been 1000 points to open since mid-2018. The website had the wrong value on it (900), so we updated the website. Nothing has actually changed in-game. No one should have lost any progress; if you feel like you did please contact CS and we’ll look into it.

How about the weekly 15 wins?

Yup, those will reset to full too

Old quests with progress will he kept. Empty slots will be filled. Not actually sure about old quests without progress, but I /think/ they’ll be kept too.

Ha! I love it. Also, the patch will likely return when the warm weather does. I'm one of those "always wears a hoodie" people, and the official jacket that I'm wearing in the more recent video is way too warm for Summer. So that's when I switch to the lighter hoodie (with the patch I lovingly applied myself).

Any chance we'll get a choice of which color the pet starts at in a future update?

When, not if. It’s high on our list.

What is the epic games store bullshit about? Sorry, but arena moves to EGS exclusively I'm done.

Not exclusive; nothing changes unless you want it to. Just another way to download the game. You'll still be able to download directly from us, just like always.

Will we get to choose between cat and doggo, i'm on team cat

Yes, in the next update you'll be able to choose which pet you want to use (as well as which tier of that pet, in case you prefer the look of the lower tiers).

Wait, Brawl is only once per week? What?

We don't have a great idea what the sustained demand for Brawl will be like, so this is where we're starting. If demand starts/goes low, having it up all the time would mean that players are distributed across the week and it takes forever to get a match. This could further reduce demand, creating a negative feedback loop. So we're starting with one day per week to focus play, keep queues healthy, and better let demand grow. And we'll see where that demand takes things. If demand is high (not just on the first go around, but sustained), we'll look to adjust how/when we're offering it.

Since you guys don't seem to have a problem with adding older cards for a specific event, is there any chance we'll see a form of Cube show up? Even if it was a Pauper cube with Kaladesh+ commons it would be really fun.

Some cards are easy to add; they “just work” and we don’t need to do anything special to support them. Other cards take real work (sometimes a lot) to get working properly. Since Momir is a random and scattershot mode, it was fine to just add in whatever works automatically. Cubes, on the other hand, are artful and carefully constructed. Just using “whatever cards worked automatically” would make for a pretty poor one.

So we can’t really pull the same trick for a cube, but figuring out how to support cubes properly is something we’re definitely interested in. It’ll just take a bit more time and effort to pull that off than this did.

Or they just added a few random high-cost cards for Momir so that you can't play the same creature indefinitely at high costs where there's only one or two creatures available in that mana slot.

^ This. These cards are just to add some spice to Momir at high CMCs; no connection to the new cards that will be added for Historic.

Inspiring Commander (and the other cards in the ANA set) don’t rotate. Note that ANA cards are not legal in any Traditional (Bo3) modes.

This is a bug. The intent is that muting the opp stops all pet animations, but there’s a bug that can cause the petting anim to get stuck on. We thought we had a fix in this update, but found out at the last minute that it didn’t fully prevent the problem. Should be fixed soon.

pleinair93

did they change this at some point? i remember it used to be pass until end of turn always and you had to ctrl + enter to do the pass until response

Yes, in most of closer bets enter was “pass to everything”, with shift+enter being “pass unless I have any responses”, but after many complaints we flipped those. To get the “hard pass” you’re looking for, use shift+enter.
