[fixed]Creatures with X and cost reducing

by **drool66** » 20 Feb 2020, 21:25

Describe the Bug:
Some creatures with {X}

in their cost aren't reduced by the cost reducing engine. Endless One with Eye of Ugin, Herald of Kozilek, and Helm of Awakening in play should enter as a X+4/X+4 for {X}

, but enters as an X/X. Costs for Shifting Wall & Hangarback Walker are also not reduced (they should be reduced by {2}

in the scenario above). However, when casting a Krakilin with Helm of Awakening in play, {C}

is added to my mana pool, presumably to pay the cost reduction, which I assume is the workaround here. OTOH, the interaction with Fireball seems to be working 100% properly, eg. it is cast for X=3 for {2}

with a Helm in play.

Which card did behave improperly?
Not sure exactly what's going on or what is bugged, but I'm guessing it's the cost reducing engine, and perhaps related to this, but I'm not sure.

Which update are you using? (date, name)Which type? (duel, gauntlet, sealed deck)
Manalink dev 0362fcdf version - duel

What exactly should be the correct behavior/interaction?
As outlined above

Are any other cards possibly affected by this bug?

Fixed all 3 in commit 41885b5. They use the latest function and method for x spells (which works fine with cost increase/decrease cards) and not the Krakilin hack which probably causes more bugs. But this new method also has it's issues as Korath has mentioned in a couple of posts(e.g charge mana in 2 steps and more).
