Shield Number Icon On Support Cards

MTG_Mage

I must say I am very pleased with many of the changes in this new update.
However I noticed that when looking at supports anywhere but in a match (so in the 'cards' tab, 'planeswalkers' tab, decks tab, or even while looking at decks in an event) ALL supports incorrectly display 3 shields.
Fortunately while in a match they do display correctly and correspond to the displayed amount upon entry to the battlefield, but the casting cost is not displayed while in play.

Unfortunately the shield counts of many supports have changed and this was posted nowhere in the release notes. @Brigby please have the display bug looked at and give us a full list of all card changes.

For example, I was shocked to see that Hixus now displays 3 shields everywhere, but in game correctly displays and comes in at 1 shield.
However Omniscience used to have 4 shields but now has 3 (and I am sure about this as I have tested it in game). This is a significant change.
I have looked at https://mtgpq.info/cards to see what the most recent shield counts were but I cant tell what they are now at due to the display bug.
The shield number on the card does change with the current count from gem matching or reinforcing. I would prefer if the number displayed on a card when looked at while in play showed the default count when entering play on one side and the current count on the other, just like how it should be that all cards default casting cost should be displayed when looking at it.

What other cards has anyone noticed changed without warning and do you like/dislike the changes?

The release notes were updated to reflect that the posted shield count outside of a match is not accurate. Would have been nice to see all the cards that flash got added to, I didn't see anywhere where they said they would be adjusting old cards to include this feature. It couldn't have been that hard to add.

Thanks, I see it now. It was added in the middle of the post and I didn't notice it.

hmm, I just noticed that Omniscience does still display 4 shields in hand but immediately has 3 shields once in play even if all cards in hand are disabled and nothing is cast to drain the one shield from it as the initial card is hard cast...must be a bug with it

In the cards tab, you can use the filter and search command line typing in 'flash' and checking the 'display all cards' checkbox and it shows that there are 9 cards with flash in the game.

if you put omniscience into the battlefield through things like whir, it comes with 4 shields. If it is cast from hand, for some reason it seems to count itself as using its own charge
