[fixed/closed]Lifeline + Grave Pact? + Skizzik
Posted: 28 Jul 2014, 01:53Describe the Bug:
Lifeline seems to work as intended (within the client's limits) when it comes to creatures like Ball Lightning or creatures put onto the battlefield via Sneak Attack. A creature that dies during its controller's end step goes to the graveyard and a legacy card is created by Lifeline which returns that creature to the battlefield during the next (in this case the creature's controller's opponent's - fear my possessive forms!) end step. However, it sometimes goes into spastic mode and bugs out and I am uncertain of the cause.
If a player casts a Skizzik while he/she controls Grave Pact and there is a Lifeline on the battlefield, the following bugs can (not always but often reproducable in savegame) occur:
1) Lifeline returns Skizzik to the battlefield on the end step during which Skizzik died, creating an "infinite" loop til the AddCard error sets in. This is foregone by the following dumps that pop up when attempting to cast Skizzik:
As a sidenote/question to the devs: Would it be theoretically possible to recode these creatures (Ball Lightning etc) in a way that their end of turn trigger doesn't trigger on the same turn they were returned to the battlefield, if they were returned during an end step? I.e. if Lifeline returns one of those to the battlefield during AI's end step, it won't die until player's end step.
Which card did behave improperly ?
Lifeline or Grave Pact or Skizzik or something else?
Which update are you using?(date,name)Which type(Duel,Gauntlet,Sealed Deck)
JOU, duel
What exactly should be the correct behavior/interaction ?
Lifeline returns a creature dying during a turn's end step to the battlefield at the beginning of the next turn's end step, but only if there is at least one other creature on the battlefield at the time the first creature dies.
Are any other cards possibly affected by this bug ?

2) In the event of 1) happening, Lifeline can continue to return the Skizzik to the battlefield when it's the only creature on the battlefield after the opponent has sacrificed all his creatures to Grave Pact's many triggers.bad parameters
