Mirrorpool Bugs (Post here)

There seems to be some strange activity with Mirrorpool and some cards so I thought we should have a consolidated place to post issues.

The above post has several accounts of odd behavior when entering the battlefield.

My observations are as follows:

Creature cards that spawn tokens on cast have the token reinforced rather than the original card.
-Examples-
Desolation Twin gives the 10/10 DT and 20/20 Eldrazi token as opposed to two 20/20s that would be expected (75% as effective as it should be)
Drowner of Hope gives the 8/8 and a 5/5 Scion as opposed to a 16/16 and an 8/8 Scion (~54% as effective as it should be)

The reinforcement from Mirrorpool does not trigger Rally effects.
-Example-
Veteran Warleader becomes a 4/4 instead of a 6/6 as the Rally only triggers from the initial cast and not the reinforcement. Makes this card a very poor use of Mirrorpool. (not that it would be good anyway but on principle) I can't think of any other cards that would be effected this way as VW is unique in this regard.

Please post any other odd things that you have observed for Mirrorpool so we can hopefully get it fixed.

When casting a spell that creates tokens, it will always be used to create another token.

When reinforcing a creature that gains haste from Forerunner of Slaughter, and probably other similar enter the battlefield evergreen giving effects, after the reinforcement it will lose that bonus.

Why should it....rally effects are triggered when an ally enters the battlefield. Reinforcement of a creature through mirrorpool is not the same as entrance of an additional creature. Only one creature is entering the battlefield and hence the rally effect is triggered only once
