Phoenix (Nerf)
Part of what makes Phoenix so strong right now is that the egg can only be destroyed with Arrows, which most decks don’t carry. After this nerf, the Phoenix Egg will be destroyable by The Log or Barbarian Barrel. This is a small but hopefully effective nerf to this very strong card, with usage consistently over 70% in Grand Challenges and just above 75% at the time of this writing.

Leaderboard Bug Fix
Clash Royale will fix a bug where Leaderboards are not resetting. We have a hunch about what this might be but since Supercell didn’t give further details, we won’t elaborate here.
Mega Draft Rescheduled
We talked about a highly-anticipated new game mode called Mega Draft in our Season 41 preview. Sadly, due to a critical bug that was found at the very last minute, it won’t be going live as scheduled.
Instead, a Triple Draft Challenge will run from November 22-28.
Replay Bug
The game replay bug — where games are replayed at different tower levels and thus often resulting in completely different game results — has been widely reported since the Q3 update. The Clash Royale team has identified and fixed this issue internally. The fix will require a mandatory client update that is scheduled to be released soon.
