The card reads:
“Whenever a Treasure enters the board, Pirates you control get +X/+0 until end of turn where X is the number of Treasures you control.”
It has been my experience playing against her that she should read:
“Whenever a Treasure enters the board, Pirates you control get +X/+0 until the end of YOUR turn where X is the number of Treasures you control.”
I have screenshots of Vraska on my turn putting out Treasures and getting attacked with a buffed pirate on the opponent’s turn. She may also trigger “when this creature attacks” actually as “when your creatures attack” for generating Treasures.
I have been running her since the day after launch and have noticed the same thing.
I have a neat Samut build crafted for this mechanic and the 1st node in Across Ixlan.
Tons of treasures, first-strike (Helm of the Gods) and reach (Web of Wings) make that 1st slot pirate a powerhouse.
An ideal situation would have 4 of my treasures and 4 of the opponent’s in play. When a new treasure hits the board and reinforces one of the existing, my pirates grow by +8/0.
I hope it’s not a bug.
Edit: Sorry, “Mantle of Webs” not “Web of Wings”. You probably knew what I meant.
Hi Everyone. I’m compiling a comprehensive list of all Ixalan bug reports to be sent to the development team today. I will be sure to include this issue on that list as well. Thanks for the info!
Well dang. I guess it was a bug because it looks like it was silently fixed.
Yesterday I was goofing around in Training Grounds and there were at least 6 treasures on the board (4 of them mine). The bonus capped at +4/0.
As usual I second guessed myself so I went through another round just to be sure, I was no longer getting the bonus for Greg’s treasures =(
