[Old confirmed] Bug Archive

[Arkatreides]

Describe the Bug:
Grand Architect gives +1/+1 to some blue creatures but not all.
In save game attached it gives +1/+1 to Phantasmal Dragon and Aether Adept but not to Spined Thopter or Lord of the Unreal.

Which card did behave improperly ?
Grand Architect

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

What exactly should be the correct behavior/interaction ?
It should give +1/+1 to all other blue creatures.

Are any other cards possibly affected by this bug ?
Unsure

Strange bug. In my current version it's working OK even with the artifact creatures it makes blue. I guess the bug is already fixed. Could you post a screen-capture ?

[Arkatreides]

Here is a screenshot (cheated to get it quickly)
It works on the Bear but not on the Thopter

I can confirm it is a Spined Thopter bug as it is not considered a blue card by any card that targets blue.In csv and ct_all everything seems fine so maybe there is something wrong with the phyrexian mana code?

Edit:I tested and this bug affects all creatures with phyrexian mana in their casting cost.These cards are considered as their colour for anything that searches for coloured spells (counterspells,cards that gain life when you play that colour,etc) but don't work with cards that target coloured creatures or coloured permanent.(e.g Blue Elemental Blast can counter Moltensteel Dragon but when it is in play it can't destroy it).
I hope this helps.

Finalized the list. Unfortunately not all the card names are in alphabetical order since I listed them by set. Hope it's OK.

I see that this hasn't been fixed yet. Is there a fix coming in the next patch or have we given up on this card as unfixable?

[Gargaroz]

These kinds of hacks are a bit difficult to fix as they're bounded to some hardcoded stuff I still doesn't understand fully. Please be patient

IIRC the Autumn Willow is a hardcoded card.

Can't we simply copy its mechanic into the hexproof cards?

The only difference with the real hexproof would be that the hacked cards should be activated (for 0) by the player, just like the Autumn Willow.

Sure, no problem. Didn't mean to stress you, just ran into the bug in game and then found this thread and noticed that a few updates had come and gone with no fix so I wasn't sure of the status. I'll just stop using the card for now.

I tried searching for this and wasn't sure if it was mentioned already? But anyway, it seems to not work properly. Creatures can still attack with it on (I tried it on one of my own creatures - a Kitchen Finks) and also I tried it on the opponents artifact and he still used it even though it was not a mana ability.

You will have to ask Orion79 and Harrypitfall since from the archives of this forum (unfortunately the old forum got deleted) they are supposed to be the makers of this card and the oldest known Shroud card here.

[stassy]

confirmed though I tested with Savannah Lion and Chalice of Life and it worked so I guess non C cards and non vanilla are affected

[Gargaroz]

About the "not attack" ability, that's strange, it should work on any creature...
About the "stopping ability", it will work only on cards coded in C.

[0rion79]

Maybe it has already been told, but when Relentless Assault is played, creatures untap and re-attack but they deal no combat damage to opponent. Never experimented vs. other creatures.

[Gargaroz]

Oh, I thought it was too easy... Probably this is not solveable, too bad
