Another Jaya ult issue

stikxs

The 'give full mana' part of Jaya's 3rd ability isn't filling stored mana (I think this has been the case for a while, even though other cards that give full mana DO fill stored mana [chaos wand/etali at a minimum]), and it also only gives full mana to the front side of split cards where the backside is usually the more expensive.

The split card thing probably isn't a bug, since when you draw the card it is technically being filled.

The stored mana thing definitely feels like a bug (her first ability also does not fill up stored mana).

Yes'n. If the base cost are paid, it doesn't. But if there's mana missing from the base cost, the card receives the full ten mana and adds it to the stored mana. It's still weird

Hi everyone, according to my information it is intended functionality for Jaya Ballard's Major Professional Destruction Token to only fill the base Mana Cost and not the Stored Mana. Additionally, it's also intended that split cards only have the front side filled. 

As for other cards filling Stored Mana while Jaya Ballard does not, I'll see if I can reach out to the team on this for some clarification.

@Tombstone Here's the crux of the issue.

Cards stolen with Etali have full stored mana (ability reads "and it gains full mana")
Spells stolen with Chaos Wand have full stored mana (ability reads "and it gains full mana")
Spells drawn with Jaya's Ultimate do not have full stored mana (ability reads "and it gains full mana")

I believe other abilities that say "and it gains full mana" also fill stored mana, although I am not 100% positive.

So why is it intended that Jaya's Major Professional Destruction Token is the only card that states "and it gains full mana" that does NOT fill stored mana?  If the dev team is confident that this is correct, the wording of the card should be changed to reflect the fact that this is not the same ability as all of those other cards (maybe make it read "gains mana equal to its base cost" or "and it gains full mana without stored mana" or something?

Or "it's free", then it would act like huf

I wonder what HUF does with split cards... Maybe only front is free and back is full price. Ye olde bait & switch

I still feel the ult (and #1) should fill both side of the card. Or like a post in the general forum said, let us pick which side the card is fetched/drawn on.

Good question. I tried it :both sides are free.

On a side note- that was the worst deck I've ever won with.

@Tombstone any response to my post above?  Just curious.

My current experience with her ultimate is whenever you cast a spell you just draw a card. No mana is gained, even if you draw a spell.
