It seems that in multiple games/decks, once you drop Alhammarret's Archive, any lifegain caused by cycling stops occurring. This has been replicated with

1. Renewed Faith, both cycling and hardcast
2. Cycling with Faith of the Devoted

    It's not only cycling, Archive now prevents every form of lifegain.
    I experienced this with lifelink creatures, tidy conclusion and sorin's abilities: all useless until Archive is removed from the board.

    Can confirm. Alhammaret's Archive no longer enables any sort of lifelink life gain, but I have tried with Cartouche of Ambition in particular.

    I almost lost a game because of this. I've since tried with both spells and life link. It just blocks all life gain. Animation literally looks like a black shield appears and blocks that stream heading towards your hp bar lol.

    I have tried to alert @Brigby about this bug in several different threads but it doesn't show at the list yet. Hope he sees it now.

    Hi Everyone. I've updated the list to include the note that the developers are aware of this issue.

    Hi

    It's great that the devs are aware, but any eta on fixing this? It surely can't be the hardest bug to track down, it's 100% reproducable. In fact I'm honestly willing to bet that if I had access to the code I could fix it myself in under an hour without even being familiar with it, so if you want some help...

    I ask because this bug completely rips my new deck to pieces, takes it from possibly even a little too good to absolutely unworkable. And I really want to play the deck in (some nodes of) the current coalition event. It really sucks that this bug can't get sorted out.
