[Not Solved] + [Unfixable] Bug Archive

[Salbei]

Describe the Bug:


I try to Counter a Spell, the Counterspell is yellow (so i should be allowed to play it), but i can´t tap Darksteel Ingot to generate the needed Mana for it.

Which card did behave improperly ?
Darksteel Ingot

Which Version did you use ?(Constructed, Limited)and which update(date,name)
Constructed, May V3, Gauntlet

What exactly should be the correct behavior/interaction ?
I should be able to tap Darksteel Ingot to pay the Mana for a Counterspell

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

I´m pretty sure i already reported this one like a year ago.

Ah, I know what's happening, but there's a problem. If I fix this, the Ingot will no longer be Indestructible, as the particular value I've to set will negate that effect.
As you can suspect, this is one of the many wickedness of the original EXE.
I guess I'll leave things as they are, OK ?

[Salbei]

There is a "workaround". You doubleclick the Counterspell, then will be asked to pay the Mana for it. At this point you can cancel the Counterspell, THEN tap Darksteel Ingot to gain Mana and THEN you are able to play the spell.

Its a bit annoying, but works.

Describe the Bug:
Multiple instances of Lifelink on a creature have been giving twice as much health as it should, as Lifelink no longer stacks. Baneslayer Angel was equipped with a Batterskull.

Which card did behave improperly ?
Baneslayer Angel, Batterskull

Which Version did you use ?(Constructed, Limited)and which update(date,name)
Constructed June 9, 2011 - Patch

What exactly should be the correct behavior/interaction ?
Lifelink should only be applied once.

Are any other cards possibly affected by this bug ?
All card combination that would allow for stacking lifelink

[Gargaroz]

Manalink apply the old rule of Lifelink. This can't be fixed until we can recode the EXE.

Describe the Bug:
This combo doesn't work in Manalink as the damage is considered as an external damage from the creature no matter of the type/ability that the creature possess

Which card did behave improperly ?
Mortar Pod

Which Version did you use ?(Constructed, Limited)and which update(date,name)
Constructed June V3

What exactly should be the correct behavior/interaction ?
The damage generated by Mortar Pod should take into account the effect from Basilic Collar (deathtouch)
or Infect ability (infect instead of normal damage)

Are any other cards possibly affected by this bug ?
Interaction with any deathtouch card (Glissa, the Traitor) or Infect (Phyrexian Crusader)

[Gargaroz]

I tried to fix this, but another issue popped out, and I fear this is not solvable : if you equip Basilisk Collar or Grafted Exoskeleton on a Mogg Fanatic and then sac it, no damage-triggered effect will happen, as the damage legacy doesn't bring with herself the additional abilities given by Equipments.
I could manually insert Deathtouch and Infect in Mortarpod code, but more bugs will be generated in this way (like being able to damage and kill a White Knight sacrificing Glissa), so I'll leave things as they are and flag Mortarpod with an "*".

I've tried to "refresh" my turbostasis deck with Equipoise since there is not Sands of Time, since "phasing" ability claims that "While permanents are phased out, they're treated as though they don't exist. They phase in before that player untaps during his or her next untap step"
I've played Stasis with Equipoise but phased-out creatures and permanents came back despite of the fact that the AI was skipping its untap step.

[Gargaroz]

Phasing's timining works a bit differently in Manalink, as in the old rules "Untap" and "Upkeep" was two different phases. So this couldn't be fixed now.

[0rion79]

Oh, what a pity! But, in your mind, how may I use Equipoise in the actual environment? Which cards do you suggest for a combo?

[0rion79]

I've just seen that Guardian Beast gives "shroud" to artifact lands and so Garruk Wildspread can't be used to untap them.

[Gargaroz]

The correct effect of Guardian Beast could not be reproduced, so the original programmers just gave shroud to the artifacts when the Beast is in play.
Since Garruk Wildspeaker "targets" the land to untap, this is not fixable.

Lol. Or just tap guardian beast with cheats and then untap it

[0rion79]

Gargaroz, sorry if I enter the topic once more but I clearly remember that time ago I was able to target opponent's artifacts while Guardian Beast was in play, because I occasionally forget of its ability, and that my Disenchant or Shattering Pulse were uneffective.
Has any of you recoded that card? Or is it my memory going nuts?

[Gargaroz]

I checked in the editor, and the code is an old one, so it's not recoded.
Perhaps someone (Mok ?) has changed the original code ages ago.
