      Also known issues! Also keep an eye here to stay in the loop. https://t.co/whc06EAHrm

        - Copied minions with not keep buffs (it's a plain copy) - Upbeat cards have a lightning bolt that will light up the turn before it goes off - "Rewind it" on Soul Rewinder basically means "undo the damage"

        • Mitchell Loewen
          Posted 2 years, 7 months ago (Source)
          - If you have a Soul Rewinder on board and take lethal damage, you will survive. - Multiple Malchezaars will stack - Rylak triggering consume effects will not consume your opponents minions (sorry lol)

          • Mitchell Loewen
            Posted 2 years, 7 months ago (Source)
            - Upbeat Duo will remember its previous choices when tripled - Minions summoned from Bassgill can only be summoned once per combat (i.e. multiple Bassgills can't summon the same minion multiple times) - Golden Upbeat Upstart can count itself as the highest health minion

            • Mitchell Loewen
              Posted 2 years, 7 months ago (Source)
              - Whenever you play a Deep Blues, ALL Deep Blues get bigger. Scaling isn't individually per Deep Blue Crooner - Spellcrafts cast in Zesty Shaker while in shop will come back to your hand - Stormbringer gaining attack will not trigger other Stormbringers

              • Mitchell Loewen
                Posted 2 years, 7 months ago (Source)
                - Drakkari Enchanter works with Upbeat minions, but will only double the payoff turns (not double the progress towards the payoff turn) - Yes, you can kill yourself in combat with Imposing Percussionist + Rylak Metalhead. No, you shouldn't do it.

                  Posted 2 years, 7 months ago (Source)
                  - Boogie Monster will stay at Tier 6 once you get there - Boogie Monster will reset to Tier 1 when Goldened - The tentacle inside aoctosaru will only grow while inside Octosari. It will not keep growing after being summoned

                  • Mitchell Loewen
                    Posted 2 years, 7 months ago (Source)
                    - Elemental of Surprise will basically count as a 3rd copy of whatever other elemental it triples with, except if that minion was an 8/8 with Divine Shield (or 16/16 on the Golden) - If EoS could form multiple triples, it will triple randomly

                    • Mitchell Loewen
                      Posted 2 years, 7 months ago (Source)
                      - Blood Gems from Bristlebach are not permanent - Ripsnarl will buff itself when it attacks - You can now magnetize on a full board

                        Posted 2 years, 7 months ago (Source)
                        - Minions that trigger after x things happen (e.g. Elise, Thethys) will have a little x/y counter on them to help keep track. - The cost increase from Tier 4 to Tier 5 HAS NOT BEEN REVERTED. It will still cost 11 Gold.

                          Minion Rollout! Not all minion types are available today. Games will only have Beasts, Dragons, Elementals, Murlocs, Naga, and Undead. Pirates will be available May 11. Demons will be available May 15. Mechs and Quilboar will be available May 22.

                      @LoewenMitchell When I had Elemental of Surprise on my board and I added an elemental to my hand with Voone hero power at the end of turn and I added 2 Branns to my hand with Duo, both my Elemental of Surprise and my Brann were pulled off my board before combat. Assuming this is a bug?

                        @SleepyHSBG Sounds like a bug. Do you have a clip?

                          @LoewenMitchell I just remembered I also had a Drakkari Enchanter, which might be necessary for recreation. Don't remember if it was golden tho :/

      • AaronCLerner
        Posted 2 years, 7 months ago (Source)
        @LoewenMitchell Guessing y'all are aware of the bug the occurs when you steal a Putricide creation with Radio Star (at least that's how people think it triggers). It happens in this @bofur_hs game. It's really weird and game-breaking. https://t.co/X2ENxB0OG5

        • Mitchell Loewen
          Posted 2 years, 7 months ago (Source)
          @AaronCLerner @bofur_hs What's the bug? I wasn't sure what I'm looking for and the clip is long

    • Kurt50A
      Posted 2 years, 7 months ago (Source)
      @LoewenMitchell 3 questions. 1. Does an Octosari with Reborn reset to a 2/2 summon when it reborns or does it keep the numbers in the card text? 2. What lead to the hero power changes? 3. Could you make it so Rylak triggering consume effects is held and triggered at the start of shop phase?

      • Mitchell Loewen
        Posted 2 years, 7 months ago (Source)
        @Kurt50A 1. It will reset to 2/2 (Reborned minions are basically new copies so they won't remember the improvements) 2. Gonna go hero by hero in a reply to this 3. Oh interesting. Maybe! I'll think about it more.

        • Mitchell Loewen
          Posted 2 years, 7 months ago (Source)
          @Kurt50A Vashj: Too powerful with Deep Blues Lich Baz'hial: Keep main identity of damage for power, different axis that is less swingy. Shudderwock: Alleycat is gone N'Zoth: Can now do Deathrattles with more minion types (e.g. Murlocs) Mutanus/Vol'jin: Too powerful with Deep Blues

      @LoewenMitchell @LoewenMitchell I was on tier 5 and was still using radiostar card. i took two kalecgos, started my next turn and spent some money then went to play the kalecgos to make the swap and it wouldn't let me. it said i needed to tier up. i didn't see this in patchnotes. isthis intended

      • Mitchell Loewen
        Posted 2 years, 7 months ago (Source)
        @patrickcul20583 Sounds unintended. Did you steal the Kalecgos from Faelin?

    • AshLinaDaniels
      Posted 2 years, 7 months ago (Source)
      @LoewenMitchell Is Upbeat Duo + Rylak Metalhead supposed to work? - The animations go off in combat but no cards are received after 2 turns.

      • Mitchell Loewen
        Posted 2 years, 7 months ago (Source)
        @AshLinaDaniels It is not supposed to work

      @LoewenMitchell Question Mitchell : If you get Tess or Tchak buddy with ETC, what are you obtaining from Voone?

      • Mitchell Loewen
        Posted 2 years, 7 months ago (Source)
        @Bomjag Friend of a Friend (which is the default buddy if your hero doesn't have one)

      Posted 2 years, 7 months ago (Source)
      @LoewenMitchell Question regarding Sin'dorei Straight Shot: with Mantid Queen now being a neutral Taunt+Reborn minion, is it maybe a good time to consider making Sin"dorei Straight Shot a neutral minion again (so it isn't tied to Undead)?

      • Mitchell Loewen
        Posted 2 years, 7 months ago (Source)
        @Jkirek_ We're discussing

    • AaronCLerner
      Posted 2 years, 7 months ago (Source)
      @LoewenMitchell Very small thing, searching "ETC" in the collection manager won't find the E.T.C. skin from the Battlepass. Not sure if that even merits a change.

      • Mitchell Loewen
        Posted 2 years, 7 months ago (Source)
        @AaronCLerner Feels like making ETC work would be nice

    • AaronCLerner
      Posted 2 years, 7 months ago (Source)
      @LoewenMitchell Golden Cattlecarp of N'Zoth was only a 2/2 when made golden over 4 turns with Upbeat Duo. The turn that I tripled it, I also played a Drakari so that I got the plain copy as well. Not sure if that matters. https://t.co/9HTq26agJZ

      • Mitchell Loewen
        Posted 2 years, 7 months ago (Source)
        @AaronCLerner Yeah stats look wrong. Was the effect correct (gain Deathrattles twice)?

        • AaronCLerner
          Posted 2 years, 7 months ago (Source)
          @LoewenMitchell Unfortunately, I don't know. I was trying to figure out the turn and didn't place minions correctly, so the Golden Cattlecarp got cleaved on the first hit.

          • Mitchell Loewen
            Posted 2 years, 7 months ago (Source)
            @AaronCLerner Np, I'll investigate

    • AaronCLerner
      Posted 2 years, 7 months ago (Source)
      @LoewenMitchell A Rat Pack with Hummingbird and Golden Banana Slamma on board just spawned 11/3 tokens. Shouldn't they be 9/3? 1/1 + Hummingbird aura to 3/1, then stats triple. Seems like the aura is getting reapplied?

      • Mitchell Loewen
        Posted 2 years, 7 months ago (Source)
        @AaronCLerner Aura reapplying is intended

    • AaronCLerner
      Posted 2 years, 7 months ago (Source)
      @LoewenMitchell Two of these - golden versions of cards use the wrong card art on the "stats" page. The cards were supposed to be Blade Collector and Bream Counter, respectively. https://t.co/3eOJBB41y9

      • Mitchell Loewen
        Posted 2 years, 7 months ago (Source)
        @AaronCLerner Known/will be fixed. It's a really weird bug

    • AaronCLerner
      Posted 2 years, 6 months ago (Source)
      @LoewenMitchell Elemental of Surprise on Faelin causes the triple indicator to appear on minions in shops even though it is locked in hand and will not triple if you buy the pair.

      • Mitchell Loewen
        Posted 2 years, 6 months ago (Source)
        @AaronCLerner Yup that's a bug

    • AaronCLerner
      Posted 2 years, 6 months ago (Source)
      @LoewenMitchell Report that Bristlebach does not refresh the shield on Golden Tough Tusk. Is that intended behavior? The card text seems like it should refresh.

      • Mitchell Loewen
        Posted 2 years, 6 months ago (Source)

      Posted 2 years, 6 months ago (Source)
      @LoewenMitchell From the Discord (not my game): Boogie was on "play a Tier 4," played Mama Bear, then this happened (Tier 7?). Also, Boogie Monster somehow has a Deathrattle that they have no idea how it got. No buff on Bassgill either, which I presume was the T4 minion played. Very weird. https://t.co/Zxi6tucOfB

      • Mitchell Loewen
        Posted 2 years, 6 months ago (Source)
        @AaronCLerner Lol super weird. I'll log it

    • AaronCLerner
      Posted 2 years, 7 months ago (Source)
      @LoewenMitchell Somebody reported that an opposing E.T.C. had Waxadred + Rylak on the board, which when activated, made their entire board disappear and ended the combat. Playing on mobile.

    • AaronCLerner
      Posted 2 years, 7 months ago (Source)
      @LoewenMitchell Didn't take a video of it and it's not a bug, but Soul Rewinder animations are painfully slow when you're on one armor b/c you get the full armor going away animation, then the armor gets put back, every time. When it's just changing the armor number, it's much smoother.

      • Mitchell Loewen
        Posted 2 years, 7 months ago (Source)
        @AaronCLerner Yeah I'd like to do something about that too

    • AaronCLerner
      Posted 2 years, 7 months ago (Source)
      @LoewenMitchell Out of curiosity, does Drakkari Enchanter + Mukkla HP give 2 bananas to everyone else in the lobby end of turn?

      • Mitchell Loewen
        Posted 2 years, 7 months ago (Source)
        @AaronCLerner Yes, but only if the player that isn't Mukla had Drakkari. It's a bit weird.

        • Jkirek_
          Posted 2 years, 5 months ago (Source)
          @LoewenMitchell @AaronCLerner Apparently, this has changed; a non-mukla player with drakkari enchanter on board right now only gets one banana.

          • Mitchell Loewen
            Posted 2 years, 5 months ago (Source)
            @Jkirek_ @AaronCLerner Should be resolved next patch

      @LoewenMitchell Report in the Discord that Young Murk-Eye didn't trigger Alexstraza buddy at end of turn. It looks like this was taken at the start of the next shop phase. https://t.co/NGsQ4Rpanc

          @LoewenMitchell That's what I thought it might have been, but someone suggested that didn't matter. I had a vague recollection that was how Alex's buddy worked.

              @LoewenMitchell Cool, thanks! I'm just filtering and dutifully passing along the bugs that people share with us in the Discord. That one (obviously) made the cut, such a niche situation now, though.

      @LoewenMitchell What is the logic on Bassgill pulls with Titus / Golden Bassgill? It pulls the highest health minion in hand first, right? Then what if the minions have the same health - is it position in hand, random, or some other criteria?

      • Mitchell Loewen
        Posted 2 years, 7 months ago (Source)
        @AaronCLerner Pull highest, ties are random

    • AaronCLerner
      Posted 2 years, 6 months ago (Source)
      @LoewenMitchell Bug from today: copied the Boogeymonster with Duo to triple it, the copies on the board stayed for the combat and the third was pulled from hand with Bassgill. When it tripled to start the shop phase, it was locked. I could not play it. It unlocked / was playable next shop phase. https://t.co/SvTYVov2nH

        @LoewenMitchell Thankfully, I won the lobby anyway b/c I was in such a good position. /flex But I was definitely expecting a turn of Golden Boogeymonster scaling to my board that I didn't get. I had even bought that Risen Rider with my remaining gold in anticipation.

      @LoewenMitchell Report from the discord that a Malchezzar obtained from Bigglesworth HP had zero roll charges remaining the turn it was discovered.

      • Mitchell Loewen
        Posted 2 years, 6 months ago (Source)

        • AaronCLerner
          Posted 2 years, 6 months ago (Source)
          @LoewenMitchell I’ll take a stab: Malchezzar rolls reset when spawned to board in shop phase. Bigglesworth discovers from the combat warband and so they haven’t reset.
