Patch Notes
- The Undefeated Decks button in the Play Lobby and League Details scenes will correctly open the Decklists page of MTGO.com
- Seventh Edition and Ninth Edition cards will correctly have white borders
- Battles that are returned to the battlefield from exile or the graveyard (via Hideous Fleshwheeler, etc) will work as expected
- Sunfall will correctly count double-faced permanents that left the battlefield as creatures
- Awaken the Maelstrom will correctly allow creation of non-artifact copies as it resolves
- When Blade of Shared Souls is detached from a creature, the Blade’s copying effect will correctly stop applying to that creature
- Cards with Tempting Offer will correctly function, even if the last player in turn order declines the awesomeness
- The temporary ban of Zabaz, the Glimmerwisp will be lifted – it will no longer reset the game
- Giada, Font of Hope will correctly not give +1/+1 counters to other Angels entering the battlefield at the same time (via Collected Company, etc)
- Doubling Season will correctly not affect counters given to players (poison, experience, etc)
- Anger of the Gods will correctly exile creatures dealt lethal damage
- If control of Reflection of Kiki-Jiki switches after a token creature copy has been created, the token’s controller will correctly still have to sacrifice it at the next end step
- Magecraft abilities and other triggered abilities from casting instants or sorceries (Kalamax, the Stormsire, etc) will once again function as expected (#chainofsmogcombo)
- The alternate casting cost of Invigorate and the splice cost of Roar of Jukai will correctly be able to choose an opponent
The next downtime will be from 9:00 AM to Noon PT on May 3.
