Permanent support not changing color [Fixed]

ArielSira

Today in Revolving Planeswalk I noticed the permanent supports didn't change colors anymore, resulting in a chain of matches when lined up with 2 other supports.

No idea if this is also the case in other events but worth checking out.

I noticed this in Revolving Planeswalk today.

Specifically, the 'Brotherhood's Bidding' event support, in the black (top) node of the 'Well of the Autocratic' event variant. Prizes in the reward ladder were BRO boosters.

There's already a thread for this bug (which often costs players games in coalition events!)

I'll crosspost both of them and hopefully some nice dev will combine the two into one thread @Magic:PQ Support Team

I also notice this with 'The Quiet Furnace' event support, in the red node of 'Revolving Planeswalk:Battle Cry of the Furious' (Prizes in the reward ladder were ONE boosters).

I also notice this with 'Urza's Utopia' event support, in the blue node of 'Revolving Planeswalk:Faculty of the Wise' (Prizes in the reward ladder were BRO boosters).

Oh! I notice nobody has so far mentioned in this thread one of the principle reasons this bug is important!

If three unkillable supports (such as infinite event supports, or supports with the 'Resilient' keyword) form a match, and they do not change color, the game gets stuck in a loop and the only way out is for the player to quit and lose the game.

You'd think the loop timer would detect such a thing (and it should!) but it doesn't.

You also might think it'd be quite hard to get 3 unkillable supports lined up, but I hear accounts of players losing a game to it every few weeks. I believe that some events will start with 2 such supports in play, although the names of these events escape me for the moment. It's generally more likely to happen in a Legacy event where players are setting up looping decks, powered by gem conversion spells, and drawing with cards like Wizard Class or Prism Array, which might make the loop timer time out several times in a single turn before they win (decks like this will convert the gems on the board so many times that supports will inevitably end up at the bottom of the board)

In the Following the Clues event: The event support 'Disappearing into the Crowd' does not change color when matched, altho the event support 'Detective of the Month' does change color when matched.

I can add that the permanent supports in Night of the Hunt do not change colour on matching. This just caused me a difficult few turns in this weekend's coalition event.

Hi @Magic:PQ Support Team can we please add the permanent supports in the new Battle for the Crown event. They don't change colour, and I've already read a report of someone getting an artifact caught between the two event supports and having it destroyed (plus the huge unfair mana gains to their opponent) because of this.
