Freeze with Grip of Desolation

For some reason, in the new event I experienced a new freeze. It occurred when the opponent Grip of Desolation'ed my Desolation Twin who had reach (from Mantle of Webs). After the death animation, everything froze. There was no sign of Prized Amalgam or zombie tokens. Like usual, I can access the Quit menu and that is it. I was about to win. I am convinced many of these freezes have to do with tokens dying/being replaced. Here is a screenshot.

These freezes are seriously affecting event placements. What is the point in being competitive when the game freezes several times (sometimes directly changing what rewards you receive *cough* Saheeli). Please give us an update for when some of these fixes will be rolled out. We've received some acknowledgment of bugs, but no word as to when they will be fixed.

Edit: I have won 14/15 matches (this freeze being my lone loss) and I am 36th place in Platinum. F this; it is making me want to quit.

    Just for better details for devs: the "twin" that cause the freeze was the card one or the token one?

    People are experiencing freezes cause of tokens, this could be your case too.

    It was the token. This freeze turned out to be my only loss in the event. It potentially cost me a mythic (depending on the leaderboard bug of course).

    I can confirm this freeze, as it just happened to me. Ob Nixilis used Grip of Desolation on a green Elemental token, and then the game froze.

    Bumping this. Grip on zombie tokens reliably (2/2 vs ob and lily) freezes the game when cast by the AI. I don't own the card so can't replicate on my end.

    BUMP BECAUSE WE RECEIVE NO FEEDBACK IN THE BUGS/FEEDBACK FORUM

    In other news, did you guys know that if you experience a crash day 1 of an event, you are ineligible for anything other than progression rewards? Thanks to the 2-month-old grip + token bug, I guess I have two more days to leisurely earn my 110-150 crystals (god knows what tier I'm in).

    Thanks D3 for looking out for me as a casual player, and ensuring that I can only get cards to play their game if I buy RNG boxes! I'm definitely not competitive enough to avoid putting tokens generators in my decks, so I don't deserve to earn anything by playing the game. Love it! I look forward to supporting employees of all associated companies with my money.
