Axis of Mortality and Paladin of Atonement?

Shouldn’t Axis trigger the Paladin? I’ve met the conditions with the 8 orbs of black or white. Am I missing something or is it a bug?

Are you sure you met the condition?

Wording may be ambiguous. I believe it checks to see if there are 8 black gems or 8 white gems. You can’t count both in mixture toward the 8 count?

I’m sure I counted 9 black gems and kept watching after that but no buff…I’m just wondering if someone tried this combo and had the same result. its no big deal . I was just trying different combinations of cards. The Paladin is too slow to buff anyways.

I had issues with that too. It wouldn’t get buffed with AoM, but it would when I got hit by opposing creatures. Faith of the Devoted DOES buff the Paladin, so it’s not just combat damage that triggers it. I found AoM works better to trigger Sorin’s ult or other lifegain effects than messing around with the Paladin anyways.

thanks good to know. I’m looking at Vraska or Sorin as my next PW.
