Cheap Shot + Preparation bug

https://imgur.com/cUymtgi.png

I played Cheap Shot twice then ran out of mana, so i played Preparation to be able to cast another echo copy of Cheap Shot. As you can see all my spells cost 2 less, EXCEPT the echo copy of Cheap Shot that costs 1 less.

Echo copies always cost the same as the "default" version of the card, and there are no on board modifiers that would somehow change the mana cost of Cheap Shot. It costed 2, i played Prep, it costed 1. That is a bug.

  • Nope, it's not a bug.

    Echo cards can't cost less than 1. it's a nerf that happened some months ago to address SN1P-SN4P OTK and Sound the Bells! OTKs.

  • As DoubleSummon said, it is now a rule for echo cards. I am pretty sure it doesn't affect the original card though, so for future reference you will want to use Prep on the first use of Cheap Shot instead of the last.

  • Well i was not aware of that. Seems like the sort of nerf that should be announced with one of those big notifications on game start up. Anyway, thanks for the info.
