Endless copies of the same card with Jaya PW [Fixed in 2.9]

Jaya with Alhammeret’s Archive and her 3rd loyalty in play will cause the next spell that is drawn to be repeatedly drawn the rest of the match. @bken1234 brought it to my attention about noticing some 37 copies of HOD appearing in 30 rounds… I thought to test her build and tested a few of mine own and had similar results. Once triggered, whether you use cycle or extra draw or the regular draw phase you will see another copy of the card. It’s endless.

Anyways I have confirmed that the effect is tied to Alhammeret’s Archive and Jaya’s 3rd. Nothing occurs if one or the other alone is on the board. But once Jaya’s 3rd hit with Alhammeret out… the very next spell will be all you draw from there on out

Here is a video example of the effect in action when cycling.

There are videos of this over in this thread as well - Jaya or Teferi - Which super friend is more worth your money? - MtGPQ General Discussion - 505 Go! Official Forums

However, according to @Nyarlathotep who tested this extensively, he was able to get the infinite loop going without Archive in play.

Hmm, Those loops are dependent on Jaya’s 3rd and Alhammeret Archives. I’ve not been able to replicate this effect by any other means.

You wouldn’t by chance have that build that doesn’t use archives, do you? I’m curious to see how he’s duplicated the infinite draw effect without Archives.

That said… This is certainly a bug and not normal operation that he was working off of. Proven by the cycle effect I posted above.

@Brakkis this is a video showing the bug that those loops are feeding off of in its basic form.

@Brigby this shouldn’t be occurring and at the moment can be easily abused.

I was able to infinite loop myself with Apex of Power from this bug >< While annoying, pretty damn hilarious.
