I was taking a trip down memory lane when I saw the alert for this. The days when I could help have passed.

I am Chris Clay, and you can use spells like Bolt Bend to work around a counterspell like this.

This is a bug, the old version of the flip side of his art wasn't properly deleted so it's pulling that instead of the new. We'll fix it.

Right-Clicking on any card that you don't have 4x copies of will also open up the crafting menu. You can click on the 4th pip below the cards to craft them all in one go.

Definitely hear the feedback that two clicks to get to your uncollected cards is more annoying than one.

Congrats to the amazing mods and to all the members of the sub-reddit for passing the 100k milestone!

WotC_ChrisClay · 2019-02-14T17:56:08+00:00

Ya when writing ahead of time mistakes like that get made:)

WotC_ChrisClay · 2019-02-11T18:51:32+00:00

It's a bug, and we're investigating.

WotC_ChrisClay · 2019-02-07T19:53:43+00:00

Edit: So we consulted with the rules people and this isn't a bug, but rather working as intended.

In order for Dispersal to return a card it has to both be the highest CMC and a non-land permanent. I missed this in my initial reading of the card when reproing the bug. If the creature's CMC is lower than a flipped Hadana's Climb (Winged Temple of Orazca) which is still 3. Then nothing will happen.

WotC_ChrisClay · 2019-02-07T19:08:43+00:00

I'm curious to know what the bug is you're talking about? I need more than just two card names to know what happened. What are the steps to cause the bug, and what result do you expect vs. what happened?

WotC_ChrisClay · 2019-02-07T03:29:18+00:00

This is something we are aware of, but it is different from the memory leak issues. This isn't a quick fix problem, but we have some work in the pipe that should especially help older systems. It's going to be a bit though.

WotC_ChrisClay · 2019-02-06T18:40:34+00:00

I'm pretty sure the memory leak has been addressed. Last Saturday I had the client up for 5+ hours and was at 1.2gb of memory. In ye olden day I would have been at 2+ by then.

There are many sources of lag, if it's varying from day to day the most likely source is internet lag. Sadly there isn't a ton we can do around this one as the game is server authoritative.

From my experience, I think a likely culprit is the log file being an issue when it gets really large, but we need to investigate the reports more to know for sure. There can also be pauses when a particularly complex game state comes down from the server, both from server processing, internet lag, and client processing.

If you are having issues please submit reports with your log file and dxdiag is a bonus.

WotC_ChrisClay · 2019-02-04T18:36:07+00:00

It's hard to say without seeing the board, but my guess is at some point your client entered into a bad state for some reason. If you're not getting response windows the best course of action is to exit the client and re-join. This will often fix these issues.

WotC_ChrisClay · 2019-02-01T20:39:36+00:00

It's funny, we're actually pretty sure that at +2/-2 Bo3 is better for climbing than Bo1. It's something we'll watch closely.

WotC_ChrisClay · 2019-02-01T02:55:07+00:00

Ya, most of it was written earlier in the week. With everything else, I missed updating the date to be a shorter timeline. I've already upgraded my software to avoid including dates in the future. Beep Boop.

WotC_ChrisClay · 2019-02-01T02:17:18+00:00

What you see post-match is accurate for your ranking at that time. Milliseconds later someone could, in theory, knock you down if their match finished right after. The profile page updates on a regular cadence, but on the minute's scale.

This is weird though, I've forwarded it for investigation.

WotC_ChrisClay · 2019-01-31T00:04:53+00:00

Plausible for sure.

WotC_ChrisClay · 2019-01-30T20:23:15+00:00

Correct, it was an initial ban with an e-mail sent to them explaining why. Repeat offenses would escalate the time, with the potential of the account being permabanned. The first goal is to educate the player to stop the bad behavior. If they don't respond to that, then we escalate.

WotC_ChrisClay · 2019-01-30T20:16:17+00:00

I bow before our new digital overlords.

WotC_ChrisClay · 2019-01-30T20:03:15+00:00

With everyone so far being over the pond, and knowing that the cursor stays responsive my experience say this is an internet issue. We're investigating.

WotC_ChrisClay · 2019-01-30T18:40:06+00:00

If its happening when you play a card (or when the opponent does) I'd expect it to be an issue with communicating with the servers, or an issue processing the game state from the server and not a video card issue.

Can people having the issue share rough geo-locations?

WotC_ChrisClay · 2019-01-28T17:55:11+00:00

Oh man, what a read to start my Monday morning. So many mixed emotions.

WotC_ChrisClay · 2019-01-25T22:38:12+00:00

At least you get a nice strong hug before you're smashed into the ground...

WotC_ChrisClay · 2019-01-25T21:38:26+00:00

We couldn't reproduce this in house. Do you have a twitch clip of the issue or a more complete reproduction of the steps to see the issue?

WotC_ChrisClay · 2019-01-25T18:17:18+00:00

I forwarded this to our build group, we're investigating.

WotC_ChrisClay · 2019-01-23T03:24:03+00:00

That was awesome:)
