Update: Actual +1 turn can happen if Jean Grey manages to stun SW.
======================

Don't cheat us devs!

If the description says she creates 3/4 turns CD tiles, it should create the described turns.

It's your problem the rules of CD countdown resolution is right after beginning-of-turn passives!

THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!

    Because abilities trigger (e.g. placing a countdown tile) before countdown tiles decrease each turn, they had to make it 5 so that it was 4 when your turn actually starts. Would have required a nasty code hack and potential to break other stuff (you really want to push them to risk this for a ui issue with everything else going on?) if the wanted to change the order just so it started and stayed at that value.

    You aren't being cheated of a turn, it was designed to be 4 actual turns. If they were to fix it to not show how it does, you would still be looking at a 4 turn countdown tile when the countdowns and abilities have all completed processing.

    sarcasm mode on!

    If one knows the rules of the game exactly, ( which resolution follows which ), than the description is infact false.

    sarcasm mode off!

    This is actually the nasty hack. For future abilites, this dev-cheat may be a bug-source. Like someone stunning everyone who uses a passive.

    This is now actually a bug when:

    CD resolution creates a Match5, enemy Jean Grey stuns, boom +1 turn arcane intuition.

    Countdowns are created at the start of the turn, not when the countdown resolves.

    Yes, that is the problem.

    1) Scarlet creates 3+1 turn countdown tile.

    2) Hulk anger CD resolves, match5 created. (Or simply a CD-resolution-1-tile-drop creates match5)
    SW tile is below the place of resolution described above.

    3) Enemy Jean Grey stuns team

    4) Scarlet Witch tile resolves in 3+1+stun turns.

    Ahhh, Anger. I thought you meant arcane intuition resolving and creating a match 5 was the cause of the bug.

    I guess the same thing could happen with any countdown that causes board shake. That's not good.

    Bump since no dev acknoledgment of real +1 turn situation when stunned.
