RotGP Bugged Objectives

bk1234

The cast creatures objectives are also giving credit for all summoned creatures.

It seems all enter the board effects are counting as “casting” again. In this screenshot, my third creature “cast” was put directly into play by triggering Reason//Believe. This was on node 1.3. 

In other matches, I’ve noticed tokens are counting towards “casting creature” objectives as well. 

bk1234

On 2.1 "Cast x or more spells with a cost of 9 or less" -- all spells get credit, even if they cost more than 9.

Creature tokens are counting as creatures of X or less mana being summoned. (Not complaining, but this is a break from how events have been working for nearly two years now.)

bk1234

They should count as creature of x or less mana summoned but not creature of x or more summoned or ever count as cast.

Previously creature tokens didn't count for creature summoning objectives, which is why I brought it up. If this was changed, I'm not opposed, but it also wasn't communicated that it was.

They didn't count for "cast" objectives and all of the objectives were worded as "cast". Originally they did, but somewhere down the line they differentiated between "cast" and "summon" where cast is straight from you hand and "summon" is any other way. The new RotGP objectives have some cast and some summon (which is really awesome because it encourages different build). However they seem to be all coded to give credit for "summon" even if some are written as "cast".

Only 1 creature objective in RotGP uses "summon" -- 2.2's "Summon 2 or more creatures during a turn".  
(4 use "cast"; 1 uses "create" - for tokens).
As it's the only one that requires more than 1 creature on the same turn to fulfill the objective, I'm guessing they used Summon there to make it easier to manage. (And then forgot to make Cast function as Cast for the others!  )

On topic - 
3.1's "Deal 20 or more damage to creatures during a fight" was counting trample damage to the opponent towards the objective, instead of damage a creature with trample dealt to the creature.

For example, if a single Ghalta (12 power) attacks into a 4/4 Pride Sovereign: it counts the 8 trample damage towards the objective, instead of the 4 it dealt to the opposing creature.
In the same example using a reinforced Ghalta (24 power): the 20 trample damage will fulfill the 20 damage objective.

Similar to Reason counting as a cast creature: Oath of Teferi caused creatures to be counted as cast again at the end of each turn. 1.1, 1.3, 2.1, 2.2, and 3.1

Several of the “Use cards” conditions are deck construction restrictions but not actual play. Stolen cards and reduced or increased cost effects do not impact the achievement. This is probably as intended but the wording should be “Place only cards that cost more than 10 mana in your deck” for 1.3 and “Build your deck with only common or uncommon cards” for 1.1.  The term “use” implies if it’s in your deck but you don’t cast it, you should get the achievement.  On the flip side, it also implies if HUF reduces the cost to 0, or if Etali steals a cheap card, you’ve missed the objective. I tested both and neither caused a miss. 

Node 2.1 included supports as spells that cost 9 or less. 

Technically I think trample damage is applied to the creature before it spills over, but I’d have to call a judge in to arbitrate in a paper match...  When it doesn’t trample, it does all apply.
