I've had it twice today that cosmos charger started some infinite loop with other foretell cards. Luckily, the loopbreaker does its job, but it's frightening.

    Just had this come up again. Both players (Karn vs. Karn) had a Cosmos Charger on the battlefield and 2 foretold support tokens on the board. When Greg used his first loyalty ability it triggered a chain of events that caused both chargers to start activating and never finished. I assume it was one charger removing shields from a support token resulting in destroying it but before it left the board that destruction triggered the other charger to remove shield from its owner's supports which destroyed a support token and causing the first charger to get triggered again and hit the support that was already 'destroyed' but not off the battlefield yet and started the cycle over again. Another person in my coalition also had this happen and I see there was a charger on each side from their match. I have had this bug in the past as well, though I'm not sure if there were 2 chargers in play at that time.

    This happened to me just now on the opponent's turn. 15 minutes of two Cosmos Chargers animating, then the loop did finally end. But I scrolled up the log to get a screenshot, which took another 15 minutes because of how many entries were in it.

    This bug definitely impacts my ability to play the Doomskar Claimants event as I'd like to, since I have to completely avoid playing Cosmos Charger.

    There are cards that people avoid playing, like Skeletal Swarming, or Cyclone Summoner, because they are or were bugged, and clearly those cards should be fixed, but I think that Cosmos Charger should be a higher priority to fix, because it's one of a small pool of good Foretell cards, and Doomskar Claimants requires players to play with Foretell cards.

    It's been confirmed that this has not been fixed and has been experienced by some players today.
