Hour of Eternity Exiles Creatures from Graveyard; Creates No Zombies [Fixed]

Decklist (note that all creatures are eternalized creatures, so their presence in the graveyard is obvious on the board state):

Results (note that eternalized activations are removed, but there are no zombies):

@jtwood Hmm interesting. I'm not a developer, but I speculate that destroying creature cards directly from the library is being treated as different from a creature destroyed during combat, therefore the destroyed library creatures aren't actually "in the graveyard"

Having said that though, I will pass this along to the QA team to investigate whether this is a bug or intended.

Just tested this.  NO creature in Graveyard, can't cast HoE at all, Gather of the Pack allows HoE to cast, but nothing.  AI killed one of my creature, HoE cast again.  No Zombies token.  Broken.

I can confirm that HoE did exiles the creatures in graveyard since Quarry Beetle doesn't trigger after HoE is cast.

Thanks, @Brigby

Extra note that the bugs I am describing are in stark contrast to how HoE behaved before the update. Before the update, it would convert cards discarded by Gather the Pack into zombies. Today, that no longer works. 

jtwood

HoE still does not produce any zombies. Any word on if there’s a ticket for this? If there is not, please let me know what documentation I can provide to help get this on the docket. Thanks

Hi, I've pulled HoE and was exited about testing it with my Nicol Bolas... but its still bugged, It does not generate any zombies following all the conditions in the card to work. Without any creature in graveyard it does not trigger, but when they are no zombies are created. And.. yes @Brigby , discarding a card counts as distroying the creature, we were playing with the mechanic of eternalize and embalm knowing this and it still works.

And bytheway, has someone ever seen a 4/4 zombie?? (Super lol) Hour of Promise should cast them but i haven't seen that trigger and i don't own that card. Maybe that should be fixed as 2 2/2 zombie instead of 1 4/4

Just ran into this bug and manually reproduced it.  I had a Diregraf Colossus in the graveyard thanks to my opponent killing it with Gaea's Revenge. When HoE was cast, I even had an extra slot for that 4/4 zombie, so I was a bit annoyed when nothing happened. Just to make sure I wasn't seeing things, I played another match and had the DC in play again with HoE in hand. Killed my own DC with Imprison in the Moon (it was in the name of research, it felt no pain) and cast HoE again... with no 4/4 zombie appearing.

So yeah, I'd say we've successfully demonstrated that HoE is currently broken.

And even when it was working, the creatures it summoned didn't count as zombies. They were 4/4 for whatever that's worth.

Bumping this to see if it's on the dev team's radar. I wan't my deck back.

Unfortunately HoE is still not working

Nothing is on their radar. There's literally 3 pages of Ixalan bugs and nothing has even been acknowledged let alone addressed.

Hi Everyone. The team is aware of this issue, however I'm afraid I don't have any updates to communicate at this moment.

Qbiak

Today I pulled out HoE and was excited to play it but imagine my disappointment when it didn't work. I'm even more disappointed because this is known for some time and was not patched yet. Any update when can we expect fix?

Qbiak

Hooray! With today's update it's working again Tested it few times and each time it worked perfectly

jtwood

Waaaat? brbomg @Qbiak I also see it working, too. Happy day! Thanks for updating the thread.
