    Thanks for the notes!

    And great fix on Lotus Fields, this definitely fixes its biggest problem (repeated copies) and any loops it might accidentally fall into.

    I liked sphinx of the guildpact more when it was colorless.. I mean hey, it's a grey artifact sphinx, even the picture shows it that way ;)

    Good to know that the first two bugs mentioned above (trostani stuck on screen and infinite puppy buff) are fixed, finally. 
    Unfortunately it seems, that avaricious dragon destroys still way to much gems more or less at random.

    The puppy buff had to go, it was breaking people... 

    The Discordant bug was pretty impactful too. 

    I'm glad to see these patch up quickly.

    @Brigby Dreadhorde Arcanist ‘s mana cost jumped from 12 to 17. Was this intentional?

    Hello @NickkBKK

    Thank you for the feedback, it's very important to us.
    The card mana cost regression will be applied on the next update version.

    So I've been meaning to ask this since 3.8, but it keeps slipping my mind...

    Are the WAR Vanguards just... gone now? Are we going to be able to craft them some day? Are we going to be able to buy the packs again?

    I assume that the WAR Vanguard packs will rotate with the M20 Vanguard packs (and whatever other Vanguard Packs end up coming out in the future) similar to how the Elite packs do.

    @Brigby an official confirmation would be nice though, since I don't like saying things based on speculation (however logical that speculation may be)

    Given the kind of disproportionately high number of rare vanguards in WAR, are we going to see them broken down into smaller packs (like most rare/epics are)? For example a rare vanguard pack that only has the black and white Vanguards?

    The idea, naturally, being to make getting the rares less horrific. I only got three duplicates in my quest to get all the M20 rare Vanguards, and I'm sure I'm in the minority.

    Geez, can't believe you went for it. I only have 2 rare vanguards left and I'm scared to even try. And unless it starts raining pinks, I probably won't try.

    I don't think that's an unreasonable request. I want to go even further than that. Why are the rare Vanguard packs also not nondupable? The rare elite packs with "normal" rare cards can be crafted. If you want to gamble there, that's up to you. Vanguard cards, however, are not craftable nor are they available in packs.

    l'll go one further: Why are the Vanguards for pinks at all?  Especially when the "limited edition" ones are for the card of your choice for gold...
