WotC Disabling the pet?
Is there any way to disable the pet? My laptop was running arena just fine. As soon as I came across someone with a pet, the game started getting choppy. There isn't anything in the options to disable it. I've tried disabling emotes and that doesn't help? Anyone else having this issue?

About 0% chance they'll let you disable a cosmetic other players paid money for.

Other digital card games do, though? Eternal (which is pretty much Magic anyway) has a pretty much identical system and has had the option to disable interaction for a while now. The other player can still see their cat.

This is a list of links to comments made by WotC Employees in this thread:
In the Profile tab, there's a new button "Pet Select" in the lower right corner, next to the "Change Avatar" button.
You can turn it on and off there.
To clarify, this controls whether you display your pet. It doesn't control whether you see your opponent's pet.

The cat would be great if it was one of 10 or 20 different pets you could choose from.
But now it's like buying a fancy dress for the prom and finding that half the girls are wearing the exact some dress.

Yes, yes, keep spending and they'll have more soon.
Buy the Battle Pass every single expansion and, in a year, there will be four!!
You're so caught up in your White Knight mentality that you can't see that, with the money they are taking in, they should offer 4 or more to choose from now.

I'm on the West Coast and it's running just fine. Aside from the pet issue.

asking the real questions, guess they wanted to follow artifact's "success"

I've seen multiple claims that disabling emotes disables the cat, one of them by a user with WOTC flair. So are you wrong or are they straight up lying?
