Very tired of card effects not being accurate

Edgar

The longer I play this (about 2 months so far), the more often I see cards that are inaccurate, use misleading syntax, or similar rules texts working differently. An example to the last one, is enter the battlefield: some creatures affect themselves as they enter the first time, and some don't.

This game needs a dedicated pass to update the card effect texts and syntax to be more in line with paper, and to just be accurate.

But this game is very old, and probably not popular, right? It's disheartening.

@Magic:PQ Support Team I'm not sure if you are reading this, but this is a chance to reach out to one of the newer players of the community. Show that you care and try to keep them onboard.

Which cards specifically are you talking about? Issues like this tend to get lost if they are kept private.

I had made several reports in the bugs section. When I wrote this, it seemed like every time I made a new deck something didn't work how it read, or how I expected it to. Among them, I do know Frantic Forebolt was fixed.

On top of that, Inti, Seneschal of the Sun's abilities were reported several months ago, and it still doesn't work how it reads.

I haven't tested all of them since I reported them, But that's alot of broken or misleading effects, in my opinion.

Cards that don't work how they read or I expect:
Mechanized Warfare, Picnic Ruiner, Bite Down on Crime, the young hero role, Gold Rush, Pillage the Bog, Case of the Gorgon's Kiss, Defossilize, Uchbenbak, the Great Mistake, Wheel of Potential, Fleeting Reflection, Beamtown Beatstick, Inti, Seneschal of the Sun.

I'm about to report Downwind Ambusher, but I need to test if the reason it doesn't give -2/-2 is when I target a creature that already has Imminent Death.

Hi @Edgar I'm currently mastering Downwind Ambusher and have found both the Imminent Death and -2/-2 work fine for me. Perhaps there was a specific interaction you came up against? A great way to discuss bugs and interactions is to come and join one of the busy Discords where we have bug channels to share stories, info, screenshots, videos, combos, interactions and much more.

The -2/-2 doesn't work on the same creature twice for me.
