Opponent's Spirit Shackle enchants my Olivia Voldaren.
Mogis, God of Slaughter and Master of Cruelties are in play by me.
Devotion to Black/Red is 6.
Spirit Shackle allows Mogis to temporarily become a creature as if Devotion was >=7.

The issue resolved itself (Mogis went back to being an enchantment), I just thought you should know about the oddity.

My opponent casts Curse of the Swine targeting all three of my creatures, one of which previously belonged to my opponent (stolen by Daring Thief). I should have gotten three little piggies, but instead I only get two and my opponent gets the third.

If I start to pay a mana cost using Springleaf Drum and then click Cancel, the creature I tapped does not untap.

If I start to pay mana cost using a signet and then click Cancel, the signet untaps but the spell gets cast!

I got a nice one...

If Arbiter of the Ideal puts a permanent onto the battlefield, that will trigger constellation abilities. However, constellation should not trigger. The permanent becomes an enchantment after it has been put onto the battlefield.

Heh. You were right, until about four hours ago:

From http://community.wizards.com/forum/rules-theory-and-templating/threads/4084121

The question has been making the rounds of whether the permanent put onto the battlefield with Arbiter of the Ideal triggers constellation abilities. Many judges have correctly answered that, in fact, it does not. Unfortunately, this interaction escaped our notice and the rules that cause this situation produce counterintuitive results, so we're making a change.....

This is out of curiosity.
I got this blue counter by holding down the leftclick.
What is it for ?

For assembling Bands, I believe (per the Banding keyword ability).

Treetop Defense costs but should cost

Getting this error message when trying to start up. Seems like a corrupted quest data file but I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling and no joy.

I've seen other reports on similar problems but none for the IOS Mavericks packaged App. Quest data files are not in library/caches or library/Application support, so I don't know where to find them. Any help appreciated, sorry if I'm missing something obvious.

There is a typo in the type area of Hagra Diabolist. It currently reads as Creature - Orge Shaman Ally.

When I use Spelltwine to copy AI's Pyrotechnics, Pyrotechnics will automatically deal all 4 damage to me.

Might be helpful to know what potential targets were in play at the time.

I've also experienced some bugs with paying for some mana cost and canceling in the middle. I posted about it in version 1.5.16 (I'll try to find the post).

Recently I was playing a game where I had some black 6 or 7 drop that lets a Swamp tap for . I was playing for a spell, clicked tapped 3x Swamp, then hit cancel. The swamps untapped but I still had 3 in my mana pool.

Edit - The black creature was Nirkana Revenant. And I can't find my old post on the canceling while paying costs bug. And it isn't because version 1.5.15 was skipped . I forget what version it was in. Plus I don't know if that particular bug was fixed (and I can't test it right now either) so I won't look for it right now.

Two queries:
1. How is Nivmagus Elemental's ability activated ?
2. How do I deselect an attacker ?

1. Nivmagus Elemental was fixed several days ago.
2. Right click it.
