Resilient Khenra bug [Investigating]

Igemon

This card has a bug.
Say you have already a stack of this creatures (for example 4 of them with total 8/8), and add another one to the stack.
Card says "the first other creature you control gets +2/+2"
In fact, other creature will get +8/+8.
It adds a full stack power, and this is wrong.

Bug or not only the eternalized token works like that. Like the code is to add +x instead of +2 or +4.

nice bug though. makes khenra really potent.

I faced a deck in TG today.  This bug is back yet again.

I prefer that the eternalized version of Khenra work this way. Why would you ask for this to be fixed? It's way cooler this way!

Considering it's contrary to what's written on the card and was, in fact, fixed at one point in time I think it's safe to call it an unintended behavior bug.  No matter play experience.

Thanks for the heads up! I'll pass it along to the team to notify them that this bug may have returned

Just change the card text to say "your first other creature gets +x/+y where x is this creature's power and y is this creature's toughness after entering the battlefield". The coding work is already done xD

Not a bug to me: this is exactly how the paper version of the card works

And the text on the paper version is different from PQ.

This is kind of where I'm at with this game. There are so many bugs. They do so little testing. So there will always be bugs. Instead of treating the game as a busted game, where I'm constantly frustrated by what doesn't work properly, I'm taking a perspective that the "bugs" are just hidden abilities (some good; some bad) that I get to learn while I play the game.

With that perspective, knowing how to navigate the sea of uncharted bugs has become more of a pleasure than a chore.

But if they would just update card texts to reflect realities, I'd be happy with that. But I'm also fine with busted-**** cards just staying busted and making this game more unique.

Just a note, I think it might be only the aftermath side of this card having issues. In my current AWR event match I'm using Khenra and stacking the normal version gave my first other creature +2/+2 all 3 times even though the stack got to 6/6. However, after killing it and bringing the aftermath sides back it gave +4/+4 on the first return the the battlefield and +8/+8 on the second.

I don't know why claim this returned. Ever since ixn came out it kept buffing the first creature like a monster. I never saw it fixed although people repeatedly claimed it around here. Every single time I would go back, retry its behavior and boom, nothing changed. 🤔

I agree.  It has always been like this, it was never fixed.  Not that I'm complaining, I like it much better as is (and it is closer to the paper ability anyway)
