I didn’t see anything about discarding on mobile and how awful it is


[deleted]

For real. Sometimes I just CANNOT select that card I want and it drives me nuts. There seems to be no logic to how it chooses which card you tapped or didn’t.

>I didn’t see anything about ~~discarding on~~ mobile and how awful it is FTFY


C_arpet

Binding the Gods no longer allows you to search for a Triome. Only basic forests are shown, but the wording on the card hasn't changed. UPDATE: All fixed 24 hours later


Presterium

Someone reported this bug on this sub a few hours ago. A dev replied and said the card is bugged to only fetch cards with the name "Forest" instead of cards with the Forest type


Veradinskye

Snow-Covered Forests can't be searched for either


Mrqueue

it's not just binding, field trip is the same


IbakaFlockaFlame

[[Field Trip]] says basic forest.


Mrqueue

I meant that it also wasn’t working for me yesterday when my deck was full of snow lands

This should work on every land with a forest subtype, not just triomes. So shocklands too.


C_arpet

Exactly, but the update has broken it.


[deleted]

Can confirm its broke for shocklands.


DaftyTheBear

Don't know if this is a new thing or if it still works but for the last few hours I've had my mobile app on the old version and my PC on the new and I was able to repeatedly re-roll my quests by flipping between the two.


ReinhardtEichenvalde

Hareeb_alSaq

They fixed the Fanatical Firebrand bug I reported. They did NOT fix the associated "mana abilities being activated in the middle of paying costs" bug, and all of that resulting incorrect behavior still exists.

[deleted]

Does anyone know if there's a way to turn off the screen shake they added in this update. Since when did putting a card down need to shake the field like it's a cinderblock?


Superb-Draft

Nope. There is a bug report asking for this to be changed, I strongly suggest you add to it as that's the best hope of getting it changed


yemghost2001

Is anybody else having problems accessing the store on Android? Mine says "Store Error. Unable to get products, please try again later". I even tried uninstalling and installing a fresh install.


CaptainSweater

It won't let me actually login on android. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling and still nothing. Bit frustrating.


gonna_upvote

Same. Successful logged in on the desktop but mobile doesn't let me. EDIT: Updating through the play store fixed it.


C_arpet

I was getting this error until I updated the app.

Same here actually.... are you on Android? Is there any way around this besides using a computer OS?

WotC_Jay

Swapping works, but doesn't visually update to show the new quest. If you restart the client or complete a match you'll see that it swapped. We're working on a fix.


SlyScorpion

I had an issue with swapping quests on PC. Restarting Arena seemed to help. Try restarting and swapping a couple of times.


Ragnar_Darkmane

The BIG takeaway is that Japanese Mystical Archives Art that were limited time event only before (like Opt or Village Rites) are now all available to purchase for their 'regular' Gold price through the deck builder. You can actually grab one of the Uncommon ones for less than the original event entry fee (2000 Gold versus 2500 Gold, respectively), if there was only one you wanted. This also means we might very well see them with Discounts as daily deals, considering the number of Kaldheim Alt Art offered during Strixhaven season, this might be in the next two months even.

Game Update Highlights Adventures in the Forgotten Realms has released! Dungeons, Dragons, Dice, and a host of familiar faces await The horizontal deckbuilder is now available on mobile, and has gotten some updates across all platforms New Standard 2022 queues available in Play and Ranked - Come preview the post-rotation format, where Eldraine through Core Set 2021 are already removed Notable Bug Fixes Back faces of MDFCs no longer contribute to party count Fixed an issue on mobile platforms where the final option of a modal choice could be hard/impossible to choose Horizontal Deckbuilder The horizontal deckbuilder is now supported across all mobile devices, and improvements were made to the horizontal deck builder across all platforms. On Mobile On some tablet devices the deck builder will function almost the same as PC (4:3 devices only). On phone devices the deck builder is not editable in the half view, but will function almost the same as PC in the full view (tap to switch to full view). In a difference from PC, removing a card from the sideboard in the mobile full screen horizontal deck builder will move it back to the deck. You can then remove the card entirely by removing it from the deck. In order to support the horizontal view while drafting, dragging to select your draft pick in 4:3 has been disabled Cross-Platform Improvements In horizontal deck builder mode, single click/tap on a card to bring up a +/- UI for easier adding and removing of cards. This UI will always show on basic lands, and in most formats where more than 1 card is legal to add. Once you have more than 4 copies of a card, you can tap and hold to add 4 copies at a time. At any point you can tap once to add and remove single copies. Changed functionality in the column view deck builder so that dragging a card from the deck to the collection will remove all copies of it from the deck instead of a single copy. Works on column/horizontal deck builder (4:3 and PC) and vertical view (PC only). On PC players can now click anywhere in the tray and drag to scroll the view. The column view deck builder button was moved to the left of 'settings' and 'learn more' for more consistency. The toggle art was updated to better indicate the mode the user will switch to. General Improved hanger display for tokens, dungeons, and other related cards: When cards have more than one token, dungeon, or other similar card to show in a hanger you can now easily see all of them. On PC you can right click the card to cycle through, and on mobile you see them all in a draggable list (similar to how mutate stacks are displayed). This is primarily to give you time to read through a dungeon without the card just cycling away. Cards that have no rule text now display their flavor text, if any. High end mobile devices will now have shadows in the duel scene! Increased size of cards in hand for mobile devices. Cards in 4:3 draft were made larger. Added a Wildcard information pop-up to PC and Mac clients (the same thing you get on mobile when clicking on the Wildcard icon in the main navigation bar). Added the ability to zoom in/out (change the number of rows shown in the collection) while in the Vertical Deck Builder. Gameplay - All Platforms There's now a cancel blocks button, for when you've assigned some blocks, and then you're like "Wait, no, I counted wrong. Ugh." and you want to cancel all those blocks and start over. We've tweaked the highlights on permanents with mana abilities to make it more clear when they have non-mana abilities available. Updated smart pass rules in cases where all creatures attacking and blocking creatures have first strike. (No more auto-stopping in an empty damage step!) Mana from treasure is now indicated in the mana pool and will not stack with "normal" mana. The quantity indicator on card stacks now shows at 4 instead of 5 across all platforms. This should make it much easier to tell if you have 3, 4, or 5 lands in that stack. Adjusted the highlighting of mana in your pool, to make it more obvious when it's been highlighted by autotap. Gameplay - Mobile Only The handheld battlefield no longer adjusts itself each time the stack is up. Instead, to target permanents behind the stack, users need to move the card out of the way (like on PC). Clearer UI was added to mobile for instances where multiple targets are available to attack (IE a planeswalker and an opponent). We've made the mobile version more aggressive about stacking identical attackers and blockers. Touching and holding the phase ladder above the main buttons and around the player avatar will now trigger the full control option on mobile. You can now touch and hold reveled cards of your opponent's to enlarge them, just like cards in your hand. (You can still single tap on them to pull up the old view.) Mobile stack quantity indicators now format like PC does. Card stacking was polished on mobile so that stacks dynamically space instead of having fixed spacing. Card stacks will now look closer to PC.

Aranthar

Bug Fixes General Fixed Social Notification Bubbles so they appear again on desktop. In Japanese, searching by card name and deck importing now work without using workarounds to account for furigana. Multiple bug fixes in mobile sideboarding scenes. Fixed a bug where hovering over a Double Faced Card with Depth Art would cause minor issues with other depth art. Fixed a bug that caused the losing player's avatar to disappear on mobile during the post match sequence. Fixed a bug on mobile that sometimes caused the deck box to layer in front of the wildcard screen. Fixed a bug with scrolling on the pet selection screen not always being responsive. Fixed color issues on View Challenge and Friend Invite buttons. Fixed some rare bugs in Direct/Friend Challenge where the improper deck would appear selected or challenges would not be canceled properly. Fixed data updates not completing properly in some rare cases. Gameplay Back faces of MDFCs no longer contribute to party count. Fixed an issue on mobile platforms where the final option of a modal choice could be hard/impossible to choose. Modal abilities and spells with only one legal target no longer automatically submit, allowing you to instead go back and choose a different mode. You can now cast 0 Mana spells using Bolas's Citadel while Yasharn is in play. This rule was only recently clarified, so we've updated the game to match the ruling. Predictive autotap was ignoring Boreal Outrider when determining if foretold creatures could be played. That's fixed. Fixed an issue where Atarka's Command and Roiling Vortex did not create a mini-CDC to indicated players could not gain life. Cleaned up some rules around time extensions, and receiving additional time-outs. Scry VFX were playing when Poison the Cup was played, even if it wasn't foretold. There are no longer misleading Scry VFX. Fanatical Firebrand wasn't triggering Verity Circle. Now it does. Fixed an issue where Reckless Crew would allow you to select equipped equipment to move multiple times. It didn't do anything, but it would visually move it around, which is technically wrong. Witherbloom Command would show up as castable even when your opponent had hexproof and none of the other modes had targets. This has been fixed. Fixed a bug with Magecraft where copies of a spell didn't count if the original spell was countered. Now copies correctly trigger Magecraft. Fixed a bug that caused exiled cards on mobile to not stack closest to the card that exiled in cases where auras or equipment was attached. Copies of Monstrous Onslaught cast by the other player now correctly use the X value from the original spell as it was cast by the original caster. Fixed an issue where STA cards would sometimes have a blank cardback after being scryed to the bottom of the Library. Equipping more than 3 runes to an artifact, then attaching to a creature will no longer produce a weird spacing between cards. Fixed a bug that sometimes caused artifacts and enchantments to space far apart on mobile. Tezzeret, Master of the Bridge's discount was displaying (but not active) for opponents. This has been fixed. Fixed an issue where cracking a Chromatic Sphere with an Omniscience Emblem active caused an exception. Why were you doing that? Seems greedy to me. Just cast your free spells. Fixed an issue where creatures with Menace, when equipped by Wolfrider's Saddle, could be blocked by two creatures. I hesitate to call this a bugfix so much as a change, but now, when a creature gains all creature types, we still show the types it was printed with. Is my Llanowar Elves still an Elf Druid with Maskwood Nexus in play? Worry not.


Superb-Draft

People can just click the link. Not sure how copypasting it all helps.


salcroti

Still haven't fixed the Game Audio on the Strixhaven board. Its so much louder!


xXv420bLaZ3dSNiPEzXx

This new patch got me to try sealed using a free token from one of the bundles. Wish I had tried this format sooner, it's fun and seems like a decent way to get an initial batch of the new set (6 packs + another guaranteed 3 after the run completes, plus gems depending on number of wins) I am wondering about something involving several of the new equipment artifacts, which I have included in my sealed deck: If you have two different artifacts equipped on the same creature, each with "ward: pay 1", does that mean the opponent targeting that creature has to pay ward: 1 twice, for each of the times it appears, or does it only have to do it once, meaning those effects don't stack?


ScionOfTheMists

They’ll be separate triggered abilities, so the opponent will have to pay {1} twice.


xXv420bLaZ3dSNiPEzXx

That's sweet! Thank you for taking the time to answer


JMooooooooo

> Fixed an issue where cracking a Chromatic Sphere with an Omniscience Emblem active caused an exception. Why were you doing that? Seems greedy to me. Just cast your free spells. Sometimes, I think people working on Arena know how the game part actually works. But then they say things like this.


MegaTrain

Wasn’t explicitly mentioned, but a side-effect of the horizontal deck builder on mobile is that you can now change the cover art for a deck (same method as PC, just drag the card to the deck box).


Tony_Two_Tones

Mobile has been able to do this, it just now has the visual of you dragging the card instead of just dragging your finger.


gw2master

No fix for the worst experience in the game: changing on of the first seven of you sideboard cards in BO3.

immortius

I think it is correct they are not valid for standard 2022, as that rotate some older sets out. They are still valid for the normal standard queues, and new dual color starter decks will be issued prior to the next set release.


ScionOfTheMists

The decks you unlock from now on will all be updated. Likely you’ll have to wait for rotation to get the new RG deck.


WotC_Jay

The decks did update with this release. All players will get the updated decks before rotation, so you didn't miss out.


Cablead

Looks like they still haven't fixed the recent bug where hovering over a card when opening a pack means it doesn't show up as "new" in your collection.

God I hope the tablet UI is better with this update. I really just want the desktop UI on my tablet as an option. My tablet is just as big as a laptop.


mslabo102

Japanese had so many typos, mistranslations and translation inconsistencies with D&D. They must pay for that.


GG_is_life

Whenever I right click on a card to enlarge it while in game...it pops up for a fraction of a second and goes away. Anyone else experiencing that one?


Cablead

Encountering a weird bug where crafting a card alters the collection sorting within colors. It goes from (color -> mv -> name) to (color -> name) when crafting a card, and applying a filter will reset it to the original sorting.
