Haphazard Bombardment Changed? [Fixed in 2.9]

I've faced a couple Haphazard Bombardments recently, and it appears to still be bugged.  Oddly, its bugged differently than it was before.

Now it appears to target opponent supports first, and destroys them and the 3x3 block around them.

This is a great change functionality-wise, its just odd that this is still not what the card reads.  I don't think there is anything wrong with it as a change, but the card text really should reflect the new functionality.

    I've been using this card with fairly good results.  Especially when facing any white or blue build

    I just faced it in AWR, and it killed one of my supports, then killed itself the turn after.

    Did you have more supports than the one? When I kill all the supports off, it will destroy itself last... everytime

    Yeah, I had two or three more. I mentioned it because it was different, I should have specified how.

    Tested Haphazard a couple times in TG today (making sure that each player had supports out before casting).  
    The first test, it destroyed itself first.
    The second test, it destroyed each other support, then itself.

    The card should read:

     "While this support is on the board, at the beginning of your turn, destroy a support and a 3×3 block of gems around it . If there are no other supports on the board, this support is destroyed."

    *destroy another support

    Although, that doesn't seem to be supported mechanically, based on other comments.

    Hi Everyone. The fix for this will be added in 2.9. Haphazard Bombardment should be targeting any support, not just opponents' supports.

    It still doesnt get destroyed when there is an indestructible support and no other supports on the board on 2nd node of AJTH: space-time catastrophe.

    Working as intended.

    Fun to do when playing Nicol Bolas 2 with his indestructible support.
