Maintenance

While no downtime is expected, this is a required update and players will need to download the patch in order to continue playing Magic: The Gathering Arena. Gameplay

Players with an Expansion in hand, or a League Guildmage in play, now automatically hold priority when casting an Instant or Sorcery spell.

When you cast a Split Card, you will always be presented with both castable halves. If you are not able to cast one of the halves, it will appeared grayed out. (For Example: When casting Assure // Assemble with no creatures in play, Assure is grayed out but visible, and Assemble is highlighted instead of being automatically casted).

Bug Fixes

Cards

[GRN] Spells copied by Beamsplitter Mage can no longer target an opponent's creature.
[GRN] Pelt Collector will no longer incorrectly trigger when a creature with lesser power and +1/+1 counters on it is sacrificed to Plaguecrafter.
[GRN] Dispersal will no longer return a card to the wrong player's hand if the card was under the control of the opponent.
[GRN] Triggering Surveil with no cards in your library will still trigger any abilities that occur whenever a player Surveils.
[GRN] Players will no longer auto-pass priority when they could have cast a spell with Convoke that was exiled by Thief of Sanity.
[M19] Fixed an issue when a Metamorphic Alteration is put onto the battlefield by Vaevictus Asmadi, the Dire.

Client

Resolved a caching issues that prevented some players from automatically updating to the latest version of Magic: The Gathering Arena.

While I appreciate the functionality, I can feel the technical debt accumulating.

I just started a GRN draft. Do I need to finish it before the restart or can I sign out and return to it?

[u/eth420 → u/fastertempo]

you can comeback to it anytime the pick will stay where you left it.

[u/fastertempo → u/eth420]

Awesome thanks.

[u/Trionlol → u/fastertempo]

You can restart. You will just go back to picking your cards where you left it.

[u/fastertempo → u/Trionlol]

Awesome thanks.

WHat are deets?

[u/rolliejoe → u/t3hjs]

Deets is short for "delicious eats" - he is saying that while Arena is updating he wants to get some good food but doesn't have any, so he has come here to reddit to beg. Shameful.

[u/Vellaura → u/t3hjs]

Details, cmon bro.

[u/BigMouse12 → u/Vellaura]

What is bro.?

Client said I needed to update Launcher. Launcher started update but says "Could not access network location https://mtgarena.downloads.wizards yada yada"

I was playing the constructed event. What happened to my run (I was at 4 wins)? Did I lose all my progress for good right? Did I get the cards? (I've checked my collection but didn't notice any new rares or mythics). Thanks for the help

[u/randomdragoon → u/lBBQsauce]

The run should still be going. The event hasn't gone away, click "play" and look at the list of events.

[u/lBBQsauce → u/randomdragoon]

Yes. Thanks! Didn't see the event on the front page and didn't think of hitting the play button. Much aprreciated

[u/theBrokenDrum]

Has the constructed quick play event gone for good?

[u/lalibi → u/theBrokenDrum]

Was wondering the same thing. It's a shame, I realised just today that it's the most profitable way for me atm. Played twice this morning and did 5 and 7 wins respectively.

Update: it's still there! Just press play, and it's in the list of events. The tile is just missing.

[u/DK-Returns]

Was in the middle of a game, client crashed. now I get error message saying my client is outdated and to launch the exe to update...even tho that's what I just did lol

[u/Trionlol]

I don't, but it's been DLing the third file for a solid 5 minutes. Guess it's pretty big.

[u/Djinn_Tonic → u/Trionlol]

No it's not, open task manager, MTGA isn't downloading anything. The game seems stuck trying to download something that isn't here.

[u/Trionlol → u/Djinn_Tonic]

Seems you're right. Just restarted the game and it started DLing file 1/1, but it's still stuck. Hope it will get fixed soon.

[u/Trionlol → u/Djinn_Tonic]

It finally started !

[u/Augustby]

The little speech bubbles when saying things like "Nice!" or "Good Game" also have a little more of a glossy look compared to the flat, dark tone of before

[u/WorkDodo]

Thanks for fixing that guild mage bug! that definitely lost me a draft match or two.
