Molten Vortex is occasionally triggering multiple times. For example, I had Koth make two red matches and manage to trigger 6 instances of 4 damage off of it. This has happened with multiple planeswalkers and scenarios; Battle Log confirms that it isn't just my missing a red match being made.

Good thing we have a damage objective coming up today!

    I use Molten Vortex in a few deck and have noticed this too. What I have seen it triggers multiple times when matched with another support. If it's a treasure, then the treasue will give double mana to the owner also.

    Koth's Strength of the Mountain likewise does this. Matching any support in the gems triggers match effects x2. Match 3 supports, it'll trigger 6 times.

    It's not that easy to exploit so I think it has more to do with the increase in better gemchangers to make it more useful.

    My comment was more about how I seem to see more and more of the player base building to exploit cards when they break.

    I just got steamrolled in RTO against Koth when they were using Molten Vortex.  Took > 50 damage in one turn and killed me the next turn taking my 24 remaining health.  It also seemed to cascade hangarback walker as they summoned 9 thopters in one turn.  Pretty disappointing.

    I confirm this. The whole support, token-support, treasures thing seems buggy right now
