B4T 5.3 Infernal Reckoning bug [Fix in 3.1]

Gun Bunny

There were times during the Azor battle in B4T when I had a Karn construct in play, and got full mana on an Infernal Reckoning in hand. I chose 'not now' and the spell would still cast as if I had targeted my construct. I would get the life gain, the card would disappear from my hand, but it wouldn't exile my construct.

This didn't happen every time, but could be tied to the rotating card ban effect from Azor himself. The deck is very support heavy, and I don't think I ever had this happen when my construct didn't have prevent damage.

The Infernal Reckoning is bugged. This is my experience from the TG.

As long as the opponent does not have any creature, it does not cast at all (no prompt). If an opponent has a creature and the player controls a colourless creature, when the player selects 'not now', the spell would still cast and the player gains life. However, the life gain is not always based on the power of the creature(s). I had a stack of thopter tokens, but it seemed as always receiving  only +4 life no matter how many thopters I controlled.

After checking, it appears that this is a known issue to the QA team. I'll go ahead and add it to the Known Issues thread.

Thanks!

Hi Everyone. This issue should be fixed in 3.1

Unfortunately it wasn't. Came to the forums to report it and found this thread. Vraska on my side vs a Kiora. Previously used it on a Hangarback Walker on the opponents side and got 8 life. This bug got replicated with the copy used from the Izzet League support. In the second node of that event.
