Build Notes
Duel Scene | Creatures that change controller after being declared as an attacker are now sufficiently frustrated to correctly drop out of combat.
Duel Scene | The drag-to-cast feature now works with modal spells that open a window as part of the cast process, such as Fiery Confluence.
Duel Scene | An issue causing cards to appear in a random order when put into the graveyard directly from the library has been resolved.
