Wayword Sawtooth can attack and block when it comes out, city blessing doesn't need to be achieved.

We're aware and working on a fix

Does anyone know how to work around the companion/sideboard bug? All my decks that have yorion/jegantha/lurrus etc. are listed with the red exclamation points since the update. Should I just temporarily remove the sideboards? I don't see this anywhere under known issues, so let me know if anyone else is also having this problem.

If you're trying to play in Bo1, you can work around this by reducing your sideboard to 7 cards. We're working on a fix for this.

> Players are receiving Bronze-tier ranked rewards even with no matches played.

This is confusingly worded, did everyone get bronze tier rewards, or just bronze+unranked?

The bug is that bronze-tier rewards were given to unranked players. Players with ranks received the proper rewards.

Theres also currently a bug allowing players to play with brainstorm in historic, and the ranked ladder is full of people exploiting this.

Question. As I mentioned above I just came back to Arena. I was inputting some of the "free pack" codes yesterday and a few of them would say "Reward Successfully Claimed!" but then I'd get an error before it showed the packs. Well after a few times I realized I wasn't actually receiving those packs - and inputting the code again gave me "Reward Already Claimed."

Is there anything I can do here? They're free so I'm not going to make a fuss about it. I won't even submit a ticket because I'm not even 100% sure which ones I didn't get because I redeemed like 10 at once. Just as a new player those few extra cards would be beneficial.

Just asking and also pointing it out in case it's messing up anyone else who may have paid-for codes.

Thanks for the report; we're currently investigating that issue but don't have it nailed down yet. We would hope to be able to understand who missed what and automatically grant it to those accounts, but I can't be sure that will be possible until we better understand the issue.

Hi, sorry for adding to the pile but I noticed I can activate [[Arch of Orazca]] and [[Orazca Relic]] before I get the city's blessing so I guess it's a bug with that mechanic but I am no expert on this :)

Yup, it was a general issue with the City's Blessing affecting several (but not all) cards that leveraged it. It's also been fixed in this morning's update.

Where are patch notes. How do we know what's been fixed. Nothing tracked on statuspage either
