Companion
Title: Companion cannot be cast despite deck meeting all Companion requirements
Description:
I have encountered a bug involving the Companion mechanic in MTG Arena.
My deck fully satisfies all the Companion requirements, and the game allows me to select the card as my Companion before the match starts. However, once the game begins, I am unable to cast or use my Companion as expected.
Steps to reproduce:
- Build a deck that meets all Companion requirements.
- Select the Companion.
- Start a match.
- During the game, attempt to use the Companion.
Expected result:
I should be able to pay {3} to put the Companion into my hand and then cast it normally according to the current Companion rules.
Actual result:
The Companion cannot be cast or used, even though the deck meets all the required conditions.
Platform:
Android
This appears to be a rules or gameplay bug related to the Companion mechanic.

I understand that you have four people working on a program that makes Hasbro millions, but maybe shell out for a few more programmers so a vital part of your offering actually works. Thanks, WotC.

Same. Curious enough- I switched my brawl deck to a timeless deck (to test vs bot Yada yada) and my companion DOES show up against Sparky at the very least. Figured that might be helpful.

Same problem here. Deck is legal. Companion simply doesn't appear next to the CZ during play. Android, Windows.

This wasn't an issue until recently.

Same thing happened to me. Kaheera, the Orphanguard won't even appear to show up during a Brawl match, even though she appears as a legal Companion during the deck edit.

Same happens to me. Tried in both the regular brawl queue and midweek magic. Zirda does not appear at all, no card to pull into hand, no name alongside my commander. It's as I have no companion at all. Companion did function a few weeks ago.
