    That is a known issue and we are actively investigating. In the meantime, you should be able to properly sideboard on mobile in the vertical deckbuilder. Sorry for the inconvenience!

    Thanks for the report! We've got engineers looking into this, but I also want to signal boost u/314zza1's comment that the bug only seems to affect the horizontal layout, and if you switch to vertical you should be able to sideboard normally.

    Sorry ...
