Bil said: I think what you are describing is more or less the normal behaviour (except that your dragon should be 48/8 instead of 48/48). When you play nahiri's third the dragon becomes 40/40, then gets the arcades buff and becomes 80/40 Arcades buff is a permanent buff so when your creature looses his reinforcments it becomes 48/8 as the arcades buff remains (8 from base power + 40 from arcades buff).
