I noticed after the update that I can no longer trade out a few cards in the 15 seconds before the arena match starts. I assume this isn't a bug and that KI meant to change this feature, but I can't find it in the update notes. Can anyone tell me if they experience this too?
In PvP, my wizard name is Finnigan Fireflame so this "no card trading" feature will probably work out better for me than some wizards. But I have gotten used to switching out a couple cards based on if I know what school my opponent is, or even by what pet they have equiped. At higher levels you start playing the same wizards again and again so you know their school before the match starts.
I'm OK with this change, but I also enjoyed the option to switch out a few cards pre match. Like I said, this will work out better for wizards with school themed names or school pets.

that's basically cheating.
If this were a physical card game, you'd sit down at a table with someone and you wouldn't be able to change the cards in your deck because you managed to find out some facts about them as they were scooting their chair up to the table, would you?
This is an online card game and you shouldn't be able to switch out your cards after your both at the table (in battle) either.
First, I don't do this, never have tried this, and so it's doesn't matter to me. Second, it's not cheating to any degree, and is a good idea to be able to adjust your spell deck. (this is not a card game, it's a Wizard game). If KI has stopped it, that's too bad, as I know a lot of the upper players (above 1200) have used this for a long time.
If this is true I'd be pretty disappointed (I'll test this out in a few minutes). But then again, that's what tower and weakness is for! Security spells in case you cant have a specialized deck to match your opponent
I noticed this also, because as a Balance Wizard, I would often change shield sets to be more effective against a specific opponent. Or I would change pets or gear for various reasons. Whether this is a bug or intentional I cannot speak to. It just means that you need to use the 15 seconds more wisely.
With that in mind, I found a way to get to my spell cards despite this current hindrance. I open my backpack to some random page, then switch to my deck. I can still make the changes I desire, but I have to be much faster about it.
Now that I have shared this, if this change was intentional, maybe KI will make mew adjustments.

so the people who were using using the glitch where you could mutate a goul, and have a high power spell for 2 pips were clean players? Or how about the people who were bring a friend into a 1v1 fight with a rino mount?
