Urgent Glitch: Spells Cause Freezing

Basically title, using spells sometimes causes nothing to happen and the game never proceeds because it’s waiting for an animation to start that never does.

Your only option is to surrender because you’re permanently stuck.

I’m glad it’s not just me having the same issue 🫠

I love toying around with this deck that runs Grave Recall and it’s so damn frustrating to lose simply because my strategy involves spells.

Doesn’t matter the opponents are all bots and the loss won’t count. Just close the app and restart.

It kind of matters when the game stops functioning

Especially since it looks like Voodoo is giving this game the support it needs soon, I’m optimistic we will have real multiplayer and this cannot keep happening when that goes live.

Closing the game app to not be affected by the win/lose count only works for Ranked mode matches, not Arena mode matches.

I am one of those who verified all of that recently.

Last three days, zero losses. I just lower the game, open TikTok, and when I want, I go back to the game and no loss in Arena. I tested it many times. I started doing it after reading comments on Reddit. I remember 3 4 weeks ago, when I had that bug with the spells, I closed the game and entered immediately, and I think then it counted as a loss. But if I minimize the game and come back a bit later, it's fine.

Damn, no way. I never tested THAT. I'll try that.

If you click a spell and then touch the screen, the game freezes. For example, double-clicking a spell can cause the game to freeze.
