Re: Bug Reports xmage 1.4.13
Splice onto Arcane & Izzet Guildmage
Wrong behaviour: Izzet Guildmage won't copy spliced cards when the combined converted mana cost of the base card and the spliced cards is greater than 3.
Correct behaviour: As converted mana cost of a spell is not influenced by any cards spliced onto it, Izzet Guildmage should always be able to copy the base card (including all spliced effects) if that card has cmc < 3.
Tested cases:
Lava Spike + Forced Puppetry: DOESN'T work.
Lava Spike + Evermind: DOES work.
Reach Through Mist + Evermind x2: DOES work.
I tested a few other spells as well (Reach Through Mist, Peer Through Depths, Ideas Unbound), all with Forced Puppetry and Evermind in various combinations spliced onto them, so I'm pretty sure that the issue lies with mana cost.
I do hope this interaction is easy to fix since my very noncompetitive modern combo deck relies heavily on it
NOTE: This was tested with 1.4.13v1, not v2.
