Tremayne said: @jtwood - maybe this is a bug, but who knows without a GD clarifying my original question.
Tremayne said: Did we ever get an answer to this @Oktagon_Support.I’m asking because the card Old-growth troll seems to contradict the stated behaviour for mana during your opponent’s turn.
Tremayne said: @jtwood - thank you for highlighting the bug report on the troll. Should have checked the forum before posting.However, the troll is actually working as I would have expected, so I’m fearing the “fix” in 5.2. But basically we haven’t gotten a reply to the original question/request. 😟
jtwood said: Yes, we all get that impression, too, but we are stuck with their new reality and have to deluge them with reports of cards working as originally designed but no longer in conformance with their whimsy. They chose this, and rolled it out unannounced, so I don’t feel bad about repeatedly bringing it to their attention.
Tremayne said: @jtwood - hey, what about the D20 mechanism (which I despise and have actively avoided exploring), but isn’t there something about scrambling the board after rolling a D20? And who gets that mana (assuming there is a card that rolls a D20 on your opponents turn, again very unfamiliar with D20).I’ll try and see if I have any cards that triggers on my opponent’s turn and then test their behaviour.Update - there are only a few cards that rolls a D20 on my opponent’s turn, but I have so far been unable to shuffle the board and get a match (have seen it happen earlier today when I was matched up against someone with D20 in their deck).

Oktagon_Support said: Hey guys,I took this discussion to the GDs and they helped me to rewrite the "Mana Gain" part of the Gallery of Rules and Definitions FAQ, I hope it can help clarify your doubts. The new text says:Regarding the conversion and destruction of gems, they perform differently:Whenever a player converts gems, if that conversion results in a match, that player gains the mana from that match and its cascades (if any), regardless of who is the turn's owner.Whenever there is a gem destruction during the turn, any match that occurs at that time belongs to the owner of the turn, including cascades. Therefore, if the player destroys gems on the enemy's turn and, consequently, matches occur, the mana generated by these matches will go to the enemy (owner of the turn). Also, matches from swaps always give mana to the turn's owner. Rebeca.
