   5. Fixed some issues with achievements related to Rank and Versus wins unlocking at the wrong increments.
   6. Fixed an issue where Arlinn Kord would have an erroneous loyalty box when becoming a creature planeswalker.

   8. Fixed an error where Planeswalkers may display an incorrect loyalty value when going to the graveyard.
   9. Fixed an issue where the "Energize" quest didn't award the correct amount of progress for spells that give multiple energy counters.
3. PC
   1. Fixed a crash in the PC Steam version near the start of the opponent's turn in the fourth mission in the Chandra Origins campaign.
4. iOS
   1. Fixed a soft lock issue on iOS where cycling through available mana when casting Ghoulsteed.
5. Xbox
   1. Fixed an issue on Xbox One where the game would soft lock when canceling a Two-Headed Giant game search.
   2. Fixed an issue on Xbox One where the title could crash if a player was invited to a Two-Headed Giant lobby twice and then the host left the lobby.
6. Known Issues
   1. If a player allows the timer to run out when crewing a vehicle, the vehicle will crew with the creature with the highest power.
   2. Playing cards from the Aether Revolt starter box does not count toward the "Battle of Ghirapur" quest.
   3. When zooming in on Chandra, Torch of Defiance, the ability arrows don't align with the card's abilities.
   4. When Westvale Abbey transforms into Ormendahl, Profane Prince, it does not appear to visually untap. The card otherwise behaves as expected.

   8. Parts of the coin reward animation in a game will appear even if a player has reached their coin cap.
   9. In some cases, a player won't be able to withdraw their selection of blockers until they assign the maximum number of blockers available.
   10. In the single-player campaigns, Void Winnower and Deceiver of Form (both played by the AI in Oath of the Gatewatch: Mission 5) have their respective set symbols on the card but are not available in those booster packs.
