Was playing around with some cards that I have not used all that much.
I came across Damping Sphere. Is it supposed to be cumulative?
I had a total of 3 DS out on the board and the mana bonuses were each reduced with 6 for both myself and my opponent. I actually did not expect the card to effect me, but that can teach you to read the card instead of assuming anything I MTGPQ.
The cumulative thing is puzzling. Because I canât recollect any other support that is cumulative without it being explicitly written on the card (and then only Powerstone shard comes to mind)
Iâve had a similar occurrence. But I was not able to repeat it. Could have been a very specific card combo I played, but I missed it and was never able to reproduce/exploit itâŚ
Iâve never seen this one not reinforce, but I donât know that Iâve ever seen it cast more than once either. It certainly doesnât say it will not reinforce.
Let that discussion die, the keyword might trigger tinykittys trying to compare apples and pears over and over again.
It looked funny, like really funny. The set up is quite complicated, it could easily backfire since you need to rush through at least one deck to make this a l proper lockdown. And then itâs crucial to keep jodah alive
Like always I used Teferi for this battle. Kinjali, lifelink & Tefâs 3rd always did the trick; but not this time. It wasnât enough for Greg to play several Damping Spheres (which for some reason stack so manabonusses were around -5) but his ability to exile creatures also seemed to exile my 3rd ability support.
Obviously I lost this match because of this new âfeatureâ; it was only my support that was exiled, not the Sphere. Of course.
I couldnât find any other reason in the log for my support being destroyed directly the turn after casting, twice. Anyone else had this happen as well?
Itâs how it always was. The exile takes away shields from your supports.. The dampening sphere thingy was actually just bad luck; It got me today, too, but just prevented me from casting the third saga.
The problem is likely that the additional effects are not really well announced in the event.
All the previous times we played AWR it never exiled the supports I played (saga and 3rd ability). It didnât take away a shield either, it was destroyed right away. It shouldnât do anything to my supports (as it never did), his ability mentions creatures only.
Click on the event info (the small i in the top right corner of the event), then at the bottom you see the terefis regret in bold letters. Click on it, then you see what the support does thatâs in play on the final node. I can assure you that this is the same description and effect as it was before.
This is what I meant with ânot well announcedâ
What has changed is that dampening sphere didnât always stack I think.
@Tombstone any update here? Doesnât seem to have been changed with the new update, does that mean itâs intended behavior? Itâs been causing some pain in the AWR 2.3 node
Then I donât know what happened all the other times because the moment Iâd have the ultimate it was a cakewalk.
Thank you both for pointing out it was in the supports description, I only remembered it as losing 3 life :# Gonna put Demystify in it now though, stacking Sphere is brutal.
