[fixed/closed]Lifeline + Grave Pact? + Skizzik

[Nexhro]

Describe 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:

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.

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 ?
?

I tried destroying the Grave Pact in the second savegame with a Naturalize, which I got via a Cunning Wish that I got via debug mode (fear my relative constructions!) and it still looped at end of turn. This time, the client didn't prompt a dump when casting Skizzik, though.

[Gargaroz]

Well, Grave Pact was still hardcoded, so probably the problem was that.
Consider this fixed.

[BAgate]

Still creates a really big loop, which thankfully ends but with the creatre that should have come back at the next end step dead.

I tested this and couldn't replicate this bug.
