Now, here's a funny thing: Soulflayer + Chromanticore is broken with ... r32578. I mean, I tested r32577 and it works correctly there, while with r32578 it does not work. However, it makes very little sense to me as of yet since the only thing r32578 changes is the timing for a Bestow check :/
EDIT: Come to think of it, maybe it's not working because Chromanticore has Bestow on it and it's not on the battlefield, so the game mistakenly ignores the add-on abilities on Soulflayer thinking that Chromanticore's abilities are somehow "not active"?
EDIT 2: Ok, here's what I did for now. I reverted r32578 in r32656 to make Chromanticore + Soulflayer and other similar combinations operating on creatures with Bestow work again, then introduced a separate revision (r32657+r32658) which attempts to prevent visual flickering by not updating the view while temporarily animating/un-animating a Bestow creature. Not sure how well this'll work and whether it may introduce some issues of its own (theoretically it shouldn't, but then again, who would have thought that making a Bestow check happen only on the Battlefield would break Soulflayer?), plus it adds a bit of additional complexity into an already complicated Card class... If anyone knows of a better solution, feel free to revert r32657-32658 and propose a better way to do this. :/
