MTG Arena Patch Notes: Thieving Skydiver's Kicker, MDFCs in Brawl Decks & More


Magic: The Gathering Arena launched the new MTG set Zendikar Rising with the major last week, and with the new mechanics like modal double-faced cards (MDFCs), the digital card game faced some complications that needed to be fixed.

Several bugs in the game have been reported since the game's major update last week, and today Wizards of the Coast has shared the patch notes detailing which bugs they just fixed.

Check out the September 22 patch notes for MTG Arena:

> Players can no longer add modal double-faced cards (MDFCs) to Brawl decks if the color identity of the back face does not match their Commander.
> Fires of Invention no longer counts the back faces of MDFCs for the number of lands you control.
> Colorless spells with "x" in their mana cost are now highlighted in-hand when they are castable.
> Thieving Skydiver's kicker ability now functions correctly when casting it from the graveyard (e.g. Lurrus of the Dream-Den is on the battlefield).
