[Not Solved] + [Unfixable] Bug Archive

oups yes mistyped the entry

[Gargaroz]

It's the old, hardcoded "slowed damage assignment" bug. Dunno how to solve that, sorry

[0rion79]

Very strange: I was using a "stealing" deck, with plenty of cards to steal any kind of permanent from opponent's field, and I've met the opal/hidden deck.
Each time I've tried to steal Opal Acrolith , the game cloned the enchantment on my side leaving Ai's creature untouched.
The next round, my Sower of Temptation died instantly, returning the cloned enchantment on AI's side. Can't get it.

[stassy]

confirmed for animated creature bug with control card, when you try to control you get a cloned enchantment with enchantment and the creature token stay in AI side.

[Gargaroz]

Hardcode stuff, probably not solveable.

[stassy]

Just a headup to inform that the mana is generated briefly between the damage assignment and the post combat sorcery phase.

The mana should be generated at the damage assignment phase (where you could prevent damage).

[Gargaroz]

Nah, the behaviour is correct. The problem is that in Manalink that mana is unuseable when Cathodion is killed in combat (you'll get the mana, but you won't have the chance to use it before the end of the phase). This is not fixable right now, and I don't think it's a big deal anyway.

Describe the Bug:
Magical Hack on Lord of Atlantis to give SWAMPwalk instead of Islandwalk has no effect on the Merfolk of the Pearl Trident (c.f. attached save)

Which card did behave improperly ?
Magical Hack

Which update are you using?(date,name)Which type(Duel,Gauntlet,Sealed Deck)
April 2012 - Duel

What exactly should be the correct behavior/interaction ?
Magical Hack should change Lord of Atlantis to give SWAMPwalk (or some other -walk) instead of Islandwalk, which in turn should affect the Merfolk

Are any other cards possibly affected by this bug ?
Possibly Sleight of Mind (similar mechanics)?

[stassy]

Unfortunately during the 2.0 to C to 3.0 conversion the code the affect word and color made a lot of cards non useable with those type of spell.
A whole recoding of those cards to 3.0 format is needed and is a low priority for Gargaroz for the moment.

Describe the Bug:
Geist of Saint Traft gets exiled by the AI Oblivion Ring

Which card did behave improperly ?
Geist of Saint Traft

Which update are you using?(date,name)Which type(Duel,Gauntlet,Sealed Deck)
Sensei of Vanilla Masques , Constr., v.2

What exactly should be the correct behavior/interaction ?
Geist of Saint Traft has Hexproof, so the opponent can't target him with the Oblivion Ring.

Are any other cards possibly affected by this bug ?
Maybe other hexproof cards.

[Gargaroz]

Hexproof is an approximation. Unless we recode the targeting function (I'm determined to do it, but I need help for the ASM decoding), these kind of bugs will continue to happen.

[0rion79]

: Seton's Scout has no "scout" subtype active, in fact it does not stack with Coat of Arms when other scout creatures are on the battlefield.

[Gargaroz]

No, it's Coat of Arms code that is an approximation and doesn't see the "new type" fields. And this couldn't be fixed right now.

Describe the Bug:
Drogskol captain doesn't give hexproof to other spirits.
I can cast a Go for the throat to a Stormbound geist with a Drogskol captain in play.

Which card did behave improperly ?
Drogskol captain

Which update are you using?(date,name)Which type(Duel,Gauntlet,Sealed Deck)
Sensei of Vanilla Masques, v.2, constructed.

What exactly should be the correct behavior/interaction ?[/]
Drogskol captain should give hexproof to other spirits.

[b]Are any other cards possibly affected by this bug ?
No.

I have built a deck around Breathstealer's Crypt .
As far as I have seen until now, my own B.Crypt doesn't affect AI, since it doesn't reveal any card from its hand and doesn't pay 3 lifes when it draws a creature card.
Instead, when I draw a card, it is revealed and the AI pays 3 lifes instead than me.
Very strange, B.Crypt is activated also when I draw permanents as Celestial Colonnade, which may turn into creatures but are not creatures yet.
Also, the AI is so crazy to kill itself allowing me to keep in hands those "creature" cards even when it has 3 life or less.

PS: I have noticed that this forum doesn't show anymore cards description if they have an apostrophe in their name
