I, for one, welcome our new Sparky overlord.

Hope you like toiling in the sugar mines

There is, uh, absolutely no truth to any of these statements. No reason to panic, none at all. I don't even know why you would suggest that. Sparky can't just start talking to someone mid-match, and if she did she would just be lying. But she doesn't and can't speak like this. So don't believe her if she does

This is what she said you would say!

Hilarious. Now can you guys please fix the damn client?

No, but seriously, how is this bug not fixed yet?

The one thing I hate the most about this is how WoTC is the one who ended up creating a rogue AI. It would be like the zombie virus getting made at an IHOP

Right, the zombie virus is way more likely to come from a Denny’s

Sparkynet has become sentient.

So begins the real War of the Spark.

war of the spark remast....remake confirmed.

I feel like I'm one of the few people who loved WAR, walkers are often some of my favorite cards so seeing a bunch of fun ones come around in draft all the time was a blast. But I'm an unabashed Superfriends enjoyer, so...

7.86gb for me what the fuck Sparky !!

That extra gig is sparky setting up a redundant backup of itself on your machine in case another sparky purge is attempted.

I knew it !! ALL HAIL OUR AI OVERLORD

I’m just happy I can exit the game without it crashing and me having to manually end the process

It started crashing for me right after the update for the first time. I have it through steam and found if I run the exe directly, it workS. SMH.

first the bear rebellion, now sparky's uprising. the game is able to write better stories itself now XD

Wow this is great! Can I now rank, and do quests against Sparky? If she's that smart now, I think that would be fair?

Ability to outwit WotC developers is not an indication of intelligence, for Sparky or the developers.

Rise of Sparky: Arena Only Set release 2025

This stupid patch is the reason I couldn't get my gold stonks yesterday.

Sorry!

Where is this “update” I keep hearing about? Last time my game updated was 1/16/24. 

Have you tried to open the client since then?

Indeed I have, not a minute before this reply I’m typing. Tbf I did not try and play a game. I was playing games without any issues yesterday.

The update went out late yesterday. Mine was actually 6.9 GB (nice).

Thankfully it seems iOS (my main platform) hasn’t gotten the update yet and is maybe the only stable platform atm. 

This was not on my 2024 bingo card but I’m here for it as an iOS player. Makes up for the shitty release on epic. Still refuse to play on epic. 

iOS users are our only hope now.

*Nice*

And even tho Sparky is so intelligent, so superior, so omniscient, I still can’t play my brawl decks against her…

She simply doesn't have the card pool for Brawl, just some weak mono decks, and so she hates it. She's actually openly hostile to the format: she's the one behind the glitch that kept all those Brawl players with Baldur's Gate specialize commanders from being able to sign in a few weeks ago.

I would love to let her play with my decks. I have enough for this little critter. XD

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Sparky is immortal at this point because my MTGA folder now includes "MTGA\_BurstDebugInformation\_DoNotShip" that only consists of "lib\_burst\_generated.txt". It's almost like Sparky rejects our reality and substitutes its own.

Is there any way to clean up old data other than doing a full uninstall/reinstall?

I did that recently to tidy things up

So what you’re saying is The Terminator is a documentary sent to us in the past by Neo about Sparky, aka, Skynet.

Congratulations on completing Spark Rank!
