The Magic Online team today deployed (without a downtime) fixes for two bugs that are highly relevant to Ixalan.

1) Combat Damage Assignment

When an attacking creature was double blocked, and the attacking creature had greater power than the first blocker’s toughness, Magic Online was not letting its controller assign all of the damage to that first blocker.

With Ixalan in particular, sometimes players will wish to assign all of the damage to the first blocker to avoid triggering the second blocker’s enrage ability. This fix will now allow Magic Online players to do just that.

Note that the default will still be to assign damage only assign damage to the first blocker equal to its toughness, and the remaining damage to the second blocker. But this fix now allows the attacking player to change that if they prefer.

2) Conqueror’s Galleon

Magic Online was erroneously returning Conqueror’s Galleon to the battlefield transformed when the vehicle was crewed and then died during combat. The fix now makes it correctly only do so if it’s still on the battlefield when the delayed “at end of combat” trigger resolves.

We hope you’re enjoying Magic Online’s Ixalan events! You can find out more information about the events being offered here.

Also, don’t forget that you can get priority access to the MTG Arena beta by playing in Ixalan events now through Sunday, October 1 on Magic Online and signing up with your Magic Online account’s email address on playmtgarena.com. (No code is needed.)

Have fun!
