Kiora's first ability freezes the game [Fixed in 3.0]

Twice now I've used Crashing Waves, and it properly drains mana, but gives me nothing. It doesn't lower my loyalty, and I can open my hand but not move cards. I also can't swap gems, so I had to quit out. It was just Training Grounds, but it could be much worse, especially if the AI using it freezes the game too. I'll add that if I see it.

Edit: The AI can use it safely. Thank goodness, that would have been nasty. It still annoys me that Greg can use it and I can't though…

Edit 2: This isn't happening anymore, apparently it was just in the haunted extra Training Grounds that appears every once in awhile before swiftly vanishing without a word…

    this still happens a lot in some events. happened to me every time within ixalan events blue. every time.
    my guess is that it works bad with hidden or special support cards featured in events.

    I'm thinking it has something to do with self drain mana
    cards like grow from the ashes(maybe it has something
    to do with the fetch land part). playing as kiora on the
    cast land node in awr has cause freezes for me when
    I use kiora's first ability.

    Hmm, it might have been when I was trying out my Elfhame Druid and Firecaller deck, which uses lots of self-drain. It's been awhile though so I'm not sure.

    Oh thank god it's not just me. I thought I was going crazy. I can definitely confirm this. Lost 2 matches in AWR because of it. Confirmed the bug again in TG.

    Node 1.2 to be specific. Maybe we can nail down a card(s) that might be causing it or something else.

    This issue popped up yesterday.... first time I have encountered it.
    Opponent used Crashing Waves (Kiroa's first ability) while Elfhame Druid and Hallar, Firefletcher were on the board....game crash.

    I reported this bug too almost a month ago. The devs didn't respond to it. Here's my original post:

    https://forums.d3go.com/discussion/75042/b4t-1-2-captain-lannery-storm-kioras-crashing-wave-freezes-the-board#latest

    This caused me to lose two charges in a coalition event. I also noticed someone else reported this issue:

    I'm glad it has the devs's attention now!

    Thanks for reporting!

    The team has confirmed that this issue occurs when Kiora's Crashing Waves ability is used while Hallar, the Firefletcher is in play. If you all experience this issue without this card in play, could you let me know?

    @Tombstone: I can confirm I was using Hallar when this freeze happened. Can you confirm this will be fixed?
