MTG Arena’s latest update for Alchemy: Phyrexia brings the usual 30 new cards for Alchemy and Historic, as well as the long awaited feature – Preferred Printing! Players can finally select their favorite basic land (or card) and have that as the default option when making decks. Check out the full patch notes below, and the full card list can be found in our set guide:
You can now save your preferred printing for each card, which will be the version automatically used when building a new deck, importing a deck, or in limited. Yes, this means you can pick a favorite basic land!
When you have multiple printings of a given card, they will all be displayed in a stack. Clicking the expand button on the stack will show all of the printings, letting you select one as your favorite
Note: Due to a bug, you currently cannot favorite a card with a style applied. We are working on solving this.
Starting March 1st, you’ll be able to redeem the codes found on Magic: The Gathering Hot Pocket boxes! Get a multiverse of flavor and unique rewards such as a Pre-Constructed Deck, a Planeswalker Avatar, Sleeves, and XP.
Golden Pack progress is now earned through the purchase of Alchemy: Phyrexia Packs (in addition to ONE).
On desktop, we’ve adjusted how we’re displaying set icons in the packs tab of the store. We ran out of room to just put them all across the screen, so now you can scroll through them.
Event tiles on the events tab of the Play Blade now show more information about the event, such as a rank badge to call out ranked events and progress pips for events you are actively playing
Gameplay
The Undo button now shifts down dynamically if it’s behind the stack.
Fixed a bug where the “Suggest Lands” selector in the deckbuilder could end up overlapping a land
The Exquisite Atraxa sleeve on the Mastery Pass should no longer flicker ominously when you hover over it.
Fixed a bug where the inbox and Golden Packs meter weren’t layering properly
Gameplay
If you control a Churning Reservoir and an oil counter is removed from a permanent you control during your end step, you now get a stop to activate Churning Reservoir.
Fixed a bug where Kemba, Kha Enduring would let you try to equip a Lion’s Sash to itself, in blatant defiance of 301.5c. The lions have learned their lesson.
Adjusted position of land count badge on mobile platforms so that it won’t end up hidden behind the avatar
Painlands that have been granted a non-pain way of producing that same color mana now let you choose which payment method you want. If making your painlands not hurt you, then wanting to get hurt anyway was part of your plan, we apologize for the inconvenience.
