Report history
1. Go to Wingspan (boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=wingspan) and select "Play" (NOT "Arena").
2. Change the setting for Swift Start Birds to "Shuffle into deck".
3. Change to Arena mode instead of Play.
4. Note that the Swift Start Birds setting is still set to "Shuffle into deck", even though it should default to "Do not use" for Arena games. This drop down is correctly blocked from being changed at this point, though it should be on the Arena default setting.
5. Play an Arena game, and it will actually use whichever setting you had selected when the game started, even if it's the setting that shouldn't be used in Arena games.
It doesn't seem super-significant because of course both players in the game are using the same deck, but it's weird because I thought in Arena, all options are unchangeable for the entire season.
