Best and only real way to make combo decks viable in standard against control. Losing games due to the client crashing is infuriating.

I've lost many turns in many games because of this bug :( Pleeease fix because I love the card and would love to continue running it in my Timeless deck.

Wizards, seriously. Fix the Stone Brain.

Still occurring and it is a predictable lockup. Fix it.

Was this fixed? We're in February and I had a crash with Medomai's Prophecy 2nd chapter (same issue, naming a card freezes/crashes the game) and I'm baffled that something that affects important, competitive-oriented cards like Pithing needle/Stone Brain might not have been fixed yet.

Did you try drinking some coffee?

Please Wizards!!!!

Please fix The Stone Brain. It continues to cost me games. Thanks.

Same issue occurred on my account today, multiple times across multiple games.

Can you please fix this bug, I've hard forfeited several games and it's a pretty important card for high rank meta.

same .... please fix it urgent

same
hurry fixxing

Same issue, nothing is changed after few days ago mainteinance, lost a match due time after this bug in a explorer event match

Still having this issue consistently. Had wotc given any indication they know or care that this is broken? Super frustrating.

Having same issue, it worked before and today it isn't. It seems like the card selector popup for The Stone Brain activation isn't showing up, and then I'm timing out and it is just selecting fortify.

Having same issue. Tried playing it two times, both times it timed out on me and picked "Fortify". Please fix. Lost ranked match.

Lost multiple BO3 games trying to get this to work, no point playing till it's fixed. The stone brain hoses black oh wait no it doesnt.

On pc it acts like it's waiting for me to make a move but the selection dialogue never prompts so eventually it picks Fortify by default after timing out. Happened to me several times on Ranked play.

Same!

stone brain

- have never been able to make it work on mobile client
- will some times work on PC client factors of when it will vs when it wont unclear
- issue seen - activation of ability results in no UI to select card name then sits at screen with arrow pointing to target player and allows clock to run out. turn ends and no selection possible. no player interaction possible.
-summary - card can not be used due to improper rule computation. request bug fix ASAP.
