Game crash possibly caused by In Bolas Clutches , Dowsing Dagger, Rite of Belzenlok [Fix in 2.9]

The game crashed while playing a round of Across Ixalan, bottom node.
I was using Tezz 2, blue/black.
My opponent was also, Tezz 2.

The order of operations…

  1. Cast dowsing dagger.
  2. Cast In Bolas’ Clutches. (to snatch the plants)
  3. Cast Rite of Belzenlok
  4. Replaced Belzenlok tokens over the plant tokens.
    Game crash.

Replacing creatures has occasionally crashed the game for awhile now, this probably isn’t a separate bug. If it happens again, that would mean it’s more likely a specific bug, as the replacing bug is pretty rare to trigger.

I believe the bug occurs when replacing a creature token and is not limited to these specific cards. There was a similar bug back during SOI that was causing the game to crash when Prized Amalgam returned to play and replaced a Zombie token. This was eventually fixed but it seems like the fix was undone in a more recent patch.

Programming on MTGPQ is probably something like this (or is it programming in general?):

Hi Everyone. This should be fixed in 2.9
