Game Update Highlights

• Alchemy: Aetherdrift has been released! Check out new packs in the store, and a new premier draft (for a limited time).

Card Balance Updates

The following cards have been rebalanced:

• Golden Sidekick: 2/2 → 1/3
• Impetuous Lootmonger: “First strike. When Impetuous Lootmonger enters, discard a card, then heist target opponent’s library. Whenever you cast a spell you don’t own, create a Treasure token.” → “First strike. When Impetuous Lootmonger enters, discard a card, then heist target opponent’s library. Whenever you cast a spell you don’t own, create a tapped Treasure token.”
• Buxton, Decorated Host: 3GW → 3GGW
• Ethrimik, Imagined Fiend: "When Ethrimik enters, if you control no other creatures, manifest dread. Other creatures you control get +1/+1. As long as you control another creature, Ethrimik can’t attack or block.” → “When Ethrimik enters, manifest dread. Other creatures you control get +1/+1. As long as you control another creature, Ethrimik can’t attack or block.”
• Wingbright Thief: 1WU 2/3 → WU 2/2
• Chittering Illuminator: 1GG 3/3 → GG 2/2
• Dazzling Flameweaver: “Menace. Ward—Pay 3 life. Whenever one or more creatures you control deal combat damage to a player, conjure a random card from Dazzling Flameweaver’s spellbook into exile. You may play that card this turn.” → “Menace. Ward—Pay 3 life. Whenever one or more creatures you control deal combat damage to a player, conjure a random card from Dazzling Flameweaver’s spellbook into exile. You may play that card until the end of your next turn.”

Notable Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where players were unable to select a color when attempting to use the Specialize mechanic with a Brawl Commander.

Additional Bug Fixes

General

• The Achievements tab no longer appears in the Navigation Bar while a player is choosing cards within a Draft.

Gameplay

• Detain hangers now tell you when Detain ends.
• Using Kaya, Spirits' Justice’s -2 ability, choosing a creature of your own, and then submitting 0 creatures for your opponent, and then copying that ability was causing matches to draw, and has been fixed.
  • Now the real mystery: how was that discovered?
• Casting Wrath of the Skies off  Amped Raptor was causing it to behave as if Energy used on Amped Raptor was part of the energy used for Wrath of the Skies. This has been fixed.
• Casting the same card multiple times with Mischievous Lookout, but making it not a rat anymore in between casting (you figure it out, there’s lots of ways) was not making it a rat anymore the second time. It is now appropriately rattish.
• Smart Priority is now friendlier to people playing Acererak combo, because they are sickos and they need our support.
• Speaking of smart stops, newly created permanents that have a Must Attack clause now give you a stop before they attack (in case you want to crew a vehicle with them or something) instead of having them die to a 6/6.
• Mothrider Cavalry’s discount was misbehaving and has been fixed.
• Abilities that care about mana you “could produce” were counting mana you had an ability to produce that would have made 0 mana (think from Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx without the devotion). Close once again only counts in horse shoes and hand grenades and not mana production.
• Corrected French translation for Pia Nalaar, Chief Mechanic in French
