Stuck in an endless loop with
Flourishing Defenses. Happened before but with different card combinations.
Computer has in play:
Border Patrol (with 2 -1/-1 counters),
Loxodon Stalwart,
Meekstone,
Juntu Stakes and 5
Plains.
I have in play:
Safehold Elite,
Heartmender,
Rendclaw Trow, 2
Flourishing Defenses, 1
Forest, 2
Plains, 1
Savannah and 1
Stirring Wildwood (never used as a creature)
It's my turn and i attack with
Rendclaw Trow. (Last turn i did the same and the computer blocked with
Border Patrol without anything going wrong)
omputer blocks with
Loxodon Stalwart. It gets 2 -1/-1 counters from the wither ability of
Rendclaw Trow. Each
Flourishing Defenses trigger twice. The they trigger again when
Rendclaw Trow comes back to the battlefield from the persist ability.
Then at the start of some phases the
Flourishing Defenses trigger twice again.
At the opponents turn they also trigger twice at the upkeep and when it reaches the before combat phase it keeps on triggering in an endless loop.
I can use this deck 20 times with no problems at all, and then sometimes a loop like this comes up.
Added part of the game log starting at the turn when the computer blocked with
Border Patrol where everything triggers like it should.
