In case you guys haven't seen the post from the CommunityTeam:

Hey there everyone. Posting here to let everyone know that we've identified potential fixes for issues related to Unbridled Growth and a deck building exploit that allows players to break the Duels deck building limit. We're working on them now so that we can release a patch to the Aether Revolt release.
We don't have an exact timeline to when a patch can be released, but it would be far in advance of our next set release.
As soon as we have more details about the contents of the patch and its release date, we'll let everyone know.

FFS they're making it really hard to hate them Riot If they don't fix right click as well

Hopefully this new digital team has turned a corner. Whether they get it right 2ND time round, who knows.

Where are they posting this stuff out of interest? Mostly because I'd like to shout at them about re-enabling right clicking if they are already in the process of fixing things.

I don't think they had much choice: they would lose the vast majority of the player base if these bugs continued.

Though to be fair I haven't had a single game against anyone trying to exploit the Unbridled Growth bug. I don't whether I've just been lucky, the average Joe just isn't aware or I suffer from a lack of faith in humanity.

new digital team


PR is new.
Development is the same, for Duels.

Magic Digital Unity developers crew is about other stuff.

This creates a nice precedent. Hope they maintain this policy for majority bugs after future updates.
It sucked to wait 3 months for them to fix the priority bug...
Let's hope they get it right this time without breaking anything else.

Btw, haven't encountered anyone exploiting the bugs either.

The Growth bug and deck limit exploit are basically Steam only, aren't they? I wonder if that has anything to do if them fixing it earlier then evryone expected.

More than likely. They don't have to go through Microsoft's update regulations, and I can only assume Apple has a similar thing? Valve just don't care, make it malware and they'd probably wait a week before removing it.

I was thinking exactly that and the fact that Steam is the biggest player base at this point (I guess? I have no info on that, just an educated guess).

I would wager a large sum of Monopoly Money that Steam now has both the largest active playerbase and largest number of unique downloads (previously belonged to iOS during OGW season apparently?)

Only one person used growth twice against me and no bug there, but i suppose that people who are exploiting this bug are already at rank 40, while i'm still at 10 having fun with some janky decks... And i will do it at least for other 2 weeks :P

The Growth bug is on my iPad as well. It was really disconcerting when I saw the AI use it to cast spells without tapping any land.

I would try like to try it to see if it works against a human opponent, but I can't get matches. That apparently is another bug. :(
