I have seen a bug while playing two different white planeswalkers (Ajani, Adversary of Tyrants, and Elspeth, Sun’s Champion) where Conclave Tribunal will end up costing 4 mana while many reinforcements are in play.
Conclave Tribunal is expected to work as follows:
12 mana base with 4 convoke means that if I have 4 creatures/reinforcements out, the cost is 8 mana.
How it actually works:
12 mana base cost and while I have 8 creatures/reinforcements on board, the cost is 4 mana. This is with no “supports cost x less” effects in play.
It seems like the convoke cost is noted as 4, but functions as 8.
Other cards of the same mechanic function properly (March of the Multitudes with 6+ creatures/reinforcements out costs 2 mana + stored mana).
Is the convoke number the minimum cost of the card or the maximum reduction? I haven’t been playing it much to try to figure it out one way or the other, but it could explain this
While this card is in your hand, this card costs X less, where X is the amount of creatures and creature reinforcements you control, up to this card’s Convoke value.
So I think the convoke amount on this card is just wrong.
Hi everyone, I can confirm that the team is aware of this issue with Conclave Tribunal. The expected behavior is for the Mana Cost to be reduced by up to 4 as stated on the Convoke value, but as you all have pointed out, the Mana Cost is being reduced by up to 8,
