MTG Arena’s monthly update is now live! As outlined in the December 2020 State of the Game, this patch is focused primarily on bug fixes (sorry Scute Swarm…), gameplay improvements, lots of events to tide us over the holiday break and new store items to match. As always, we will keep the Event Calendar updated for this patch.

GAME UPDATE HIGHLIGHTS
Winter Event Series! Stay safe, and stay warm with plenty of ways to play, including a week long Historic Brawl event more best-of-three options for drafting!

GENERAL
GAMEPLAY
There is now a limit of 250 tokens per player. Tokens you attempt to create beyond that just won’t be created (and they won’t trigger anything, either!
Intention lines should no longer subtly flicker when mousing over cards.
Players can now correctly attack multiple Planswalkers tokens (as opposed to only the one stacked on top).
Modal double-faced card labels should now display correctly when being cast/played through some other card effect (e.g. Light Up The Stage)
Cleaned up code around playing lands! The old version was causing some lands to pause or move very slowly when transitioning from the hand to the battlefield.
Rapidly clicking on an opponent’s avatar no longer causes the the mute bottom to appear seemingly at random.
CARDS
Fixed issues with Rashmi, Eternities Crafter not interacting with other sides of modal spells (like split cards or Adventures) correctly.
If you managed to have Shielded Aether Thief block two creatures (perhaps via Act of Heroism) it was triggering twice. This has been fixed. (Why were you doing this?)
Vito and Exquisite Blood used to have count badges that… didn’t count anything. Now they don’t!
