Maybe, but they’re also just releasing a lot more cards period. Their error rate *per card* could easily be the same.

the final sentence of the oracle text on this card (the front face) is "Put all cards of the chosen type revealed this way into your hand and the rest on the bottom of your library in any order." they caught the error only after they tried to put it in arena, and arena, doing what it was told, attempted to put every card of the chosen type on the battlefield into alrund's owner's hand and every other card on the bottom of alrund's owner's library

Hahaha, amazing. Choose a type. Reveal the top two cards of library, just for fun. Then add all cards of chosen type to your hand and sort your library in any order you like. Seems good to me.

That’s hilarious. I couldn’t figure out what the errata needed to be just from reading the card.

Scryfall also has a day 0 errata tag: https://scryfall.com/search?q=oracletag%3Aday-zero-errata

Most aren't interesting though.

Hostage Taker originally being able to target itself for an infinite loop of ETB triggers is a big one, along with Marath being able to create infinite 0/0s for infinite death triggers.

Yes. Just in alpha:
Elvish archers was printed as a 1/2 instead of a 2/1
Orcish oriflamme and Orcish artillery both had the wrong mana costs.
Cyclopean tomb didn't have a mana cost.

chronicles also has a bunch of these errors.

I CAN tell you I lost all 7 die rolls lmao


R1 vs temur rhinos
Lose Die Roll
Win 2-0

G1: I get drum into stoneforge into Sigarda’s aid. Punch in with tokens go to 31 put opponent to 1. Opponent top decks like mad to buy 4 more turns before I finally knock it out.

G2: I keep a risky single colored source hand but manage to get inkmoth across with a hammer and protection.


R2 vs mono black coffers (opponent top 8's)
Lose die roll
Lose 1-2

G1: opponent doesn’t see coffers and I go surge into activate inkmoth into inkmoth swing

G2 and G3: I draw 4 lands in a row at poor times and lose.


R3 vs 4c elementals
Lose die roll
Win 2-1

G1: is urzas saga into equip hammer beats. Invisible stalker count plus one.

I call judge into check my opponents deck as the deck is mostly foil and EXTREMELY CURLED with what appears to be windswept heath and eladamri’s call as the non-foils. There’s a few minutes of investigation and the judges can’t cut to specific cards but they do suggest opponent double sleeves, opponent also didn’t cut or shuffle my deck

G2: opponent has all the action and beats me with elementals

G3: opponent taps out for elesh norn so I love tap them with Inkmoths for 6 twice


R4 vs yawgmoth
Lose die roll
Win 2-1

G1: opponent goes t1 dork t2 dork and undying creature t3 yawgmoth and undying creature. Worst case Ontario

G2: we both mull to 6. I curve Sigarda’s aid into sanctifier into hammer + shadowspear so I’m immune to removal and ready to party

G3: I mull to 5 but have the platonic ideal t1 pithing needle boseiju t2 cursed totem followed by MAKIN CONSTRUCTS. Which eventually gets the win. Also I forgot to side out spell pierce which saved my rear end when opponent paid full rate for a force of vigor.


R5 vs murktide
Lose die roll
Lose 1-2

G1: I make a loose keep and my opponent capitalizes on it.

G2: I pithing needle my opponents fetch and then resolve invisible stalker into hammer. Stalker claims another victim

G3: I makes huge punt in this game by tapping out for a springleaf drum like an idiot and get blown out by into the fire. I cannot recover from that and get wrecked


R6 vs 5c creativity
Lose die roll
Win 2-0

G1: t1 Sigarda’s aid, t2 invisible stalker, t3 double hammer. *law and order sound effect*

G2: my opponent sees sideboard cards to stop me but never sees a creativity, so I swing in with triple stoneforge mystic for 8 turns. Truly a cursed game of magic the gathering. Opponent hard casts an archon and I surge to stop the trigger while opponent is at 1.


R7 vs living end
Lose die roll
Win 2-0

G1: opponent sees 30 cards or so but none of them are cascade cards. I was prepared to rebuild even if they did cascade but it didn’t come up.

G2: opponent T1 griefs and takes spell pierce but I immediately top deck Lavinia, lets goooooo. Opponent searches for an otawara while I swing in with a bunch of random crap to cross the finish line. lol, lmao.




5-2 is Good enough for 12th place, an invite to the RC, and some prizing.

Feeling good about beating two of my worst matchups.

Last RCQ of the season trip report: I got deck checked twice and lost both matches i got checked in, including the match that would have got me into top 8. (Not from any fault of my own, my opponent in round 4 got a game loss but i never did). I eventually finished 13th out of 42. On the plus side i crushed d00mwake round 1. Living End is fun.

In game two Mariluz also double Griefed both David’s Shardless Agent which pretty much sealed the deal. :sun:

She was playing with a high level of confidence in all the showcase matches I saw on the stream and pre-sideboard she was positioned well with the 4 Dauthi main. All in all she was well prepared for the field.

*Stupid Babby*

The original printing of Grafdigger's Cage in Chinese is wrong. Something about it only saying creature spells instead of all spells from the graveyard, or the other way around. I only know this because I was playing with it in Modern and someone was trying to say they could do something they shouldn't have been able to do because they just read my chinese copy of the card, and the judge had to explain the English version to them.

Black summer was the best summer.
It turns out that running hot and getting an ideal matchup 5+ times lead to some success. Good on them. They went against living end 6 times? I do t think I have ran against the same deck like that in modern ever, not in a single tournament at least.
