Mirror March: Weird quirk or as designed? [As Designed]

At the end of my turn (or when it is destroyed) Mirror March removes ALL reinforcements from creatures that were cast that turn, including reinforcements that the creature already had (because I cast multiple copies of it or something).

I get that that is what the card reads, but it seems a bit counter-intuitive that the trigger would eliminate reinforcements that Mirror March didn't create.  Was this interaction considered during the design process?  Is it correct?

//Edited Title - Tombstone

    I'll see if I can get confirmation on the intended behavior for this card.

    The team has confirmed that it is intended for Mirror March to remove all the Reinforcements from a Creature that was Reinforced by it regardless of the original source of previous Reinforcements.

    Huh.  Ok.  At least this ruling makes sense (unlike some of the other ones).

    Thanks!

    Did they confirm that the reinforcements get lost if Mirror March is destroyed by its own ability?

    They will. Additionally, it was confirmed that Mirror March is intended to be able to be destroyed by it's own random gem destruction ability.

    @Tombstone What about the immediate loss of haste? Can you throw us a bone here?! Let the haste hang around until the end of turn.

    @Theophilus The immediate loss of Haste upon Mirror March's destruction is not intended, and this is being worked on. Once a fix has been put in place, Mirror March should grant Haste to Creatures so that even if Mirror March is destroyed the Creature will be able to take advantage of Haste and attack on that same turn.
