- Check out our State of the Formats article for more on Explorer & Pioneer plans
Gameplay Changes
- Tweaked the combat damage assignment so that if a creature with trample is blocked by a single creature, you can once again assign additional damage to the creature and have less trample damage.
- P.S. Hidetsugu’s Second Rite is officially OP now.
- We've added a stop at the end of combat if you have an ability that taps another permanent, and that other permanent has a Survival ability.
- Gorex, the Tombshell now has a clearer prompt (“Select any number of creature cards to exile.” instead of “Choose options.”)
- The little shield for damage assignment has been replaced by the opponent’s avatar.
- If you can cast Blasphemous Edict for the alternate cost, it now displays that cost in hand.
Bug Fixes
Notable Bug Fixes
- Jumpstart 2025 now shows up as a set in the deckbuilder filter options.
- Various card styles which which were incorrectly blocked from individual purchase in the deckbuilder are now able to be purchased.
“Repair Game Files”
- We’ve renamed the “Validate Bundles” command to the hopefully-more-clear “Repair Game Files”
- Go to Options -> Report Bug -> Repair Game Files and it will check for any corrupted assets
- If you see anything in your game that looks weird or broken (missing text, corrupted images, etc.) this command might help.
General
- J25 was not showing up on the deck filters. Now it does!
- Standard legal Booster packs in Daily Deals were not granting Golden Booster progress. We fixed that so now daily deal booster packs are 1. back on the menu and 2. Will grant Golden Booster progress.
Gameplay
- Fixed a bug with Valiant Emberkin causing extra triggers with Venerated Rotpriest.
- The fix to make Suncleanser show chosen hangers was a bit overzealous and led to hangers we didn’t really need from cards like Solemnity. Behavior is more targeted now.
- Leyline of Anticipation’s static was working if you’d manifested it, which is No Good™. The card now understands it shouldn’t work face down.
- Exert hanger title has been corrected in non-English languages.
- Some end step triggers (like the “sacrifice the copy” effects) were pointing at the copied object instead of the copy, which is weird. We fixed that.
- A system to automate putting hangers on appropriate cards lead to all cards with Flash having the Flashback hanger. These are, obviously, not the same mechanic.
- Flashback is cool and all, but you don’t need to learn about it from random cards with Flash.
Bonus Bug Fix
- If you watched the Early Access event you might have seen issues with Sage’s Reverie. We fixed that for the actual release.
Known Issues
- Certain newly added keyword abilities (e.g. scavenge) are missing their in-game hangers/reminder text.
