[fixed]Spellskite/Muck Drubb - cant deflect auras

by **Wally** » 08 Jul 2020, 08:21

Describe the Bug:
in attached save AI is about to draw and cast Control Magic at Vizier of the Menagerie
Spellskite - cannot be clicked on or activated in response
Muck Drubb - can be flashed into play and enters play but does not change the target to Muck Drubb

In both scenarios above the Control Magic is successfully cast and the Vizier changes control to the AI

Which card behaved improperly?
Spellskite
Muck Drubb

Which update are you using? (date, name)Which type? (duel, gauntlet, sealed deck)
version 6-2020 v3 a8bbff706, duel

EDIT: Something very odd going on in that mix. Have attached a second save "AUTOSAVE2.zip" from a turn or two later in same game. AI casts Control Magic again, I have Counterspell in hand and cast it but the Control Magic is still successfully cast. (I then tested Control Magic vs Counterspell in a generic game and they work normally as expected)

I confirm that change target doesn't work for auras.

Because I didn't realize these could do that

I'll get on it.

Fixed in 27f782aa4 ("Fixes to spells that change targets", 2020-07-09)
[edit] Also fixed for Quicksilver Dragon, Silver Wyvern & Torchling
Also, realized Spellskite has an "or ability" that remains unimplemented, and may remain that way for a while
