Historical Bugs

Known Bugs
Date Run	App Version	Node	Fixed	Bug Description
3/20/18	2.5	4.2		If you have Gideon's Intervention out, Vona’s ability will deduct a shield instead of destroying your creature.  This is true of all Prevent Damage  effects. However, Vona will still gain life.
3/20/18	2.5	4.3	4/14/18	First objective is listed with placeholder text: Objective_Sacrifice_Text
3/20/18	2.5	x.3		Many “Destroy Support” effects will target the permanent supports.  Tested out with Demolish, in particular.  It also targets those owned by the player.
3/20/18	2.5	2.3		Silverclad Ferocidons never kills the AI’s creatures.  Probably related to the permanent support bug as listed above.
3/20/18	2.5	5.3	4/14/18	Spells acquired via Pyromancer’s Goggles can cast on turns when you are not supposed to be able to cast spells.  Observation is that Azor’s abilities may only impact cards that are in your hand during his turn.
3/20/18	2.5	2.3		The regeneration effect offered by the permanent support wears off before your Dinosaur can regenerate any hit points, so is not useful.
3/20/18	2.5	5.1		If you have a creature with Ascend while you have the City's Blessing and you steal a copy of that same creature, it will lose Ascend for the rest of the match.  Observed with Lay Claim and Wayward Swordtooth.
