Hiveheart Shaman [Investigating]

Fliggl

First of all, I don't know of this is a general bug or just a translation bug (german player).

In german, Hiveheart Shaman says, besides his land-fatching ability, that he puts a Golgari Insect token into play and it gets +X/+X, where X equals the loyality gems on board.

So, if you attack two turns in a row with him, and 1st turn there are 3 and 2nd turn there are 8 loyality gems on board for example, the Golgari Insect Token should have +1/+1 + +1/+1 + +3/+3 + +8/+8 for +13/+13. But it only has +10/+10 (+1/+1 + +1/+1 + +8/+8) it doesn't sum up. It replaces the bonus.

Hope you understand, what I am typing here

Maybe one of you could post a pic of the english version, so I know, if it is well translated.

@Fliggl - in English HS says “when you attack… Create a Golgari insect token. It gets +x/+x. X is the number of loyalty gems.”

Frankly, for a non-native English speaker, it can be interpreted both ways (when I read your examples above). So I can’t determine which interpretation is correct. Perhaps Oktagon can.

Thanks @Tremayne!

It says the same in german... so maybe I just misunderstood this card?

Since it doesn't say "it gets +X/+X until EOT" I thought the bonus stacks.

Like the tokens Quartzwood Crasher puts into play

I love the bugs that keep coming back over and over

So... is there a difference between 
Hiveheart Shaman and Quartzwood Crasher?

In german, both cards say the same but they have a different behavior, according to the buffing of the created tokens

Quartwood works properly. Hiveheart is broken according to how the text is written.

The "buff that overrides previous buffs" bug is a Forever Bug™ in this game. With regular occurrence, cards that should add buffs will be built in a way that overwrites the previous buff instead. The best we can do is submit the ticket and hope it's one of the lucky few that get fixed (because a lot of bugs linger forever in this game).

With the 5.8 update this should have been fixed, but... nope!
