Hostile Desert graveyard limit? [Investigating]

Is there a limit to the number of copies of a card you can have in your graveyard?  

I've been using Hostile Desert against the Nicol Bolas boss fight and I never get more than +8/+8 even though I've cast it about 30 times and should be getting +60/+60.

    You're successfully using creatures in that fight? Wow. Some of his spells exile things, though I don't know if any target your graveyard.

    I use Riddleform and lots of buffing supports. Everytime I cast a spell or reinforce a support Riddleform activates and summons a 1/1 Sphinx with flying, it gets buffed up to about 12/10 by the supports, then dies before Bolas's turn starts. My idea was that everytime I cast Hostile Desert it would gain an extra +2/+2, but it looks like you can only have 4 Hostile Deserts in the graveyard.  I may add Desert of the Mindful to the deck to boost this damage.

    If you're trying to capitalize on that, I've seen builds using that card, Desert of the Mindful, Desert of the Fervent, and Desert of the Glorified to capitalize on size. Ramunap Ruins would also help.

    @Sottyp_123 How many Deserts do you have in that deck? If there is 4, then it's possible that it's only counting unique Deserts, as opposed to also counting any copies. If that's the case, then I will pass this along to the team to request additional clarity be added to its description.

    I only had Hostile Desert in that deck.
