Patch Notes

  • Doomsday correctly does not allow you to select cards in opponents’ graveyards.
  • Zabaz, the Glimmerwisp temporarily banned due to a game-reset exploit. Intended to be fixed on April 26.
  • Ob Nixilis, the Adversary will correctly create a token copy when cast with casualty.
  • Venerated Rotpriest will no longer soft-lock a player if its destroyed in response to its trigger.
  • Vraska, Betrayal’s Sting will no longer prompt to target a player twice (which was causing the wrong player to receive poison counters).
  • Reidane, God of the Worthy will correctly apply to X spells that raise the mana value to 4 or higher.
  • Skeletal Scrying and Abandon Hope will allow X mana to be spent while paying additional costs.
  • Ratchet, Field Medic will correctly display the amount of life gained when it triggers.
  • Ratcher, Rescue Racer will correctly not apply its once-per-turn clause to Ratchet, Field Medic.
  • Megatron, Tyrant will be able to convert more than once while on the battlefield.
  • Alternate versions of avatars (Momir Vig, etc) will function as intended in Momir Basic or Vanguard games.

The next downtime will be from 9:00 AM to Noon PT on May 3.
