Also,
Despite the "Greek God of Walks" nickname, Youkilis is not Greek. He is actually a Romanian Jew.

It's not really human error. I certainly wouldn't be surprised if the program itself or the updates are changing phase settings. I'm just saying that it's entirely possible to unknowingly remove a stop simply because the toggles are in a section of the screen where the cursor is constantly being dragged over, so it's common for a mouse click to register while passing over a toggle without you realizing it.
This might not be the update. I frequently unknowingly removed stops simply because of the location of the phase bar on the screen and the fact that the stops are toggled by clicking without any confirmation or notice.
Not even, though....
I had always thought that "Leagues" basically meant "Sealed deck." I get the idea behind Constructed leagues, and am all for having that option, but at the expense of Limited? With their own admission that they just pushed Limited to the wayside because it was "too complex" for them?
Holy crap. I'd like to say that WotC Digital's incompetence never ceases to amaze me, but at this point, it's just expected. Even with these severely watered down Constructed leagues, I'm fully expecting awful entry cost/prizes, the release date to be pushed back, and the servers to crash periodically as they ramp up the capacities.
This isn't an error. Say everyone gets their P1P1 and has 50 seconds to pick. Players 8, 1, 2 and 3 each take 10 seconds and pass their pack to the next player. This means that players 1, 2, and 3 all immediately get their P1P2. However, Player 4 and Player 7 each take 40 seconds to make their pick. That leaves a pack hanging waiting for Player 4, and it leaves Player 8 waiting as his clock for his P1P1 ticks down even though he already made his pick. So, Players 1, 2 and 3 have their P1P2 clock going while Player 8 is still waiting on Player 7.
I don't know if I made that more complicated than it needed to be, but that's what's happening - the clock is for that individual pick, and it's not the same across the entire draft.
Like a lot of other MODO bugs, it's probably only randomly bugged.
Goodbye to the already broken MODO economy.
From TheCardNexus on Reddit:
I just don't even understand how a bug like this comes up (disclaimer: I work in programming). The "add lands" function has always worked properly. This update, as far as I know, included no modifications to the Limited deckbuilding process. HOW did it get screwed up? And, more to the point, if somehow something in that code did accidentally get touched, how did it get through testing? Is there even a QA process? It's just mindboggling.
As for your common sense solution of pushing 15 of each basic onto each account, sure, that makes perfect sense. You know what the geniuses at WotC decided to do? Send out a pop up notification that randomly appears to logged in users telling them to "open the 'New Account Package' product in their collection" if they're experiencing trouble adding lands to their deck. I saw this and thought, "Okay, their quick fix solution to this was to add that to each account so that everybody has access to basic lands. Makes sense." I went to my collection and, lo and behold, that product is NOT there. It's only there if you happened to NOT open the one they give you when you create your account. LOLOLOL
This is one of the few things this new build (that a week ago was pushed back because it wasn't "up to their standards" LOL) breaks. I almost timed out during deckbuilding of the first cube draft I did after downtime because I don't have basic lands on my account and had to go find them from a bot that I had credit with.
Basically, the "Add Lands" function in Limited events now uses the most recent basic lands you own in your collection. If you don't have a sufficient amount, lol good luck, go buy them. It also doesn't let you just double click on the land type to add one of that type to your deck like it used to. It also resorts your entire deck whenever you add basic land to it. And... the sorting of artifacts/lands in the colorless pile is essentially random.
Honestly have no idea how they manage to **** things up like this. It's absolutely pathetic.
Considering something as seemingly simple as the Commander tuck rule has taken over three months and has now been delayed further because it is apparently too difficult for them, I'm going to say that we'll be lucky to get the mulligan update within half a year.

1 End Hostilities
2 Mastery of the Unseen
1 Bile Blight
2 Dromoka's Command
My general sideboarding plan has been:
+2 Read the Bones, +2 Drown in Sorrow, +1 End Hostilities, +1 Bile Blight, +2 Mastery of the Unseen, sometimes +1 Dromoka's Command
-4 Fleecemane Lion, -1/2 Siege Rhino, -1 Sorin, Solemn Visitor, -1/2 Thoughtseize
With earlier iterations of the deck, I was siding out all of the Coursers and Rhinos, preferring the plan of Lion into removal spells, but I think transforming into a more controlling deck, using Courser to mitigate flood and hold off the small creatures while saving Price/Downfall/Charm for big threats (try to never tap out if they can cast a Whisperwood), works better. Drag the game out and win with Elspeth/Ugin/Mastery.
