Notable Bug Fixes
- Fixed a bug that could cause Color Challenge quests to get stuck at 0:00:00
- Fixed a bug that could block Color Challenge completion with a "Network Error" message
Playblade Iteration
- The Objective bubbles/Quests are now hidden when selecting decks from the playblade, so there is now more room to see your decks
- Updated how playblade history is stored, so the Last Played tab, Find Match settings, etc. should be consistent across multiple devices, and sessions
- Fixed several bugs with the scrollbar for the playblade
- Fixed a bug where the "Edit Deck" button in the Playblade wasn't selectable in some cases
- Fixed a bug where favorited decks did not show up properly in the playblade on mobile
- Fixed a bug that made the "Edit Deck" button in the playblade not localize properly
- Fixed a bug that would make some events still look like they were in progress after you left them (like Jump In)
- (There's still a bug where the decks don't always sort properly; a fix will be coming shortly after this release)
Gameplay - All Platforms
- Sometimes the order of a Graveyard or Exile zone would, when examined, go old to new, then in another browser it might go new to old, and then in a third type of browser it might be random. They are now consistent, with the caveat that if only certain cards are valid, they'll still be shifted to the front.
- The text on the Crew hanger has been updated to reflect the rules change that vehicles that have become creatures can't crew themselves.
- The ability cost modified hanger was accidentally disabled. It's been re-enabled, AND now it works for cards in hand.
- Autotap will now do its best to deal with abilities that discount the first time you do something, but not subsequent times. There will be times where Autotap THINKS you can afford something and gives you a stop, but you actually can't. We'd rather give you a stop that you don't need than not give a stop you do need. Autotap is doing its best.
- Adjusted spacing on options in mana-type selection browsers (like when you're deciding to pay 2 or W for Tazri) to more clearly indicate where options exist.

Bug Fixes
General
- Fixed a bug that prevented players from editing decks that were saved from limited modes
- Importing Brawl decks with rebalanced cards now defaults to the proper format
- Fixed a bug where players were not properly receiving rebalanced cards when earning the tutorial and color challenge decks.
- We will be doing a mass grant to ensure all players impacted by the bug get the cards they should.
- All direct challenge-specific formats now appear in the format list in the deckbuilder.
- Receiving multiple Jump In tokens will correctly display the quantity received
- Tokens symbolizing a monetary reward from the Arena Open now correctly show a dollar sign icon instead of an event token icon.
- Fixed a bug where going into a deck and looking at the details would make it prompt whether you wanted to save changes (even when you hadn't made any)
- Fixed a bug where mobile users were not able to tap-and-hold rebalanced cards received from ICRs for a detailed view
- Newly-created decks in the deckbuilder now default to Alchemy for their format
Gameplay
- Expedition Supplier is only supposed to trigger once per turn, but if you put multiple humans in play simultaneously he would get confused and hand out extra knives. We've explained the situation, and he'll be limiting it to one knife per turn, going forward.
- Blocked creatures were not showing "blocked" UI indicators if the blocking creature left the battlefield. Fixed!
- The emblem created by Rowan, Scholar of Sparks got mismatched with its localization and claimed it was a "T:Mill 2" which is wild because emblems don't tap.
- Sarkhan's Scorn wasn't displaying the count in hand. That's bad! But we fixed it. That's good!
- Mini-CDCs (the rectangles on the left that tell you about ongoing effects) with x-values were stacking, when they should have been separate so you could see both values. Now they don't stack.
- Fixed an issue with Bolas's Citadel hangers not showing up correctly.
- Fixed a rare issue where Davriel, Soul Broker's +1 would cause the match to draw.
- So! Rahilda was accidentally built with frame data for the back side (red) but without a color indicator, meaning the back was technically colorless. Arena interpreted this correctly, but we've fixed the data to give her a color identity. She now looks red and is red. (This change actually went out in the prior release, but we missed including it in those release notes)
- Fixed an issue where cards exiled by Eruth weren't playable if Eruth left the battlefield earlier in the turn.
- We noticed that when a digital only card was conjured it didn't always have the A in the spot where a Rare oval would go. We were like "this cannot stand" and fixed the data in the back end. Our long national nightmare is over.
- Fixed a rare match draw that could be caused by having several werewolves transform simultaneously due to it being night while enchanted with Overwhelming Splendor, then having Overwhelming Splendor removed.
- Fixed an issue where the Last Known Info title for cards that left the graveyard mistakenly said "Left the Battlefield". We regret the error.
- Fixed an issue where, on mobile, when Leeching Lurker transformed into a creature, it stayed in the Enchantment area of the battlefield.
- Jeremy noticed that when you drafted a Gilded Goose with Hinterland Chef it made different food tokens than when you played the card normally. I'm pretty sure no one else noticed, but we fixed it anyway.
- Fixed an issue where if Angel of Grace's controller changed, the "until end of turn" effect didn't work.
- Fixed an issue where phasing out Ascendant Spirit with its ability on the stack would result in it having the buff when it phased back in.
- When Magma Pummeler's ability went on the stack, it included the "X=" annotation from when it was cast, which is confusing because that wasn't really relevant to the ability. It doesn't show that anymore.
- Fixed an issue where transforming a Voldaren Bloodcaster while its ability to make a blood token was on the stack resulted in the blood token not having the correct artwork.
- The mouse over preview for two color tokens was showing a gold frame instead of the two color frame they actually use on the battlefield. Fix'd!
- If there were two permanents with the same name, but one was a token, and they were both providing a "once per turn" cast permission, trying to cast one of them brought up a dialog that didn't make it clear which permanent was providing the permission. But now it does make it clear.
- Fixed a bug with Gilded Assault Cart's art (again)
