In Bolas's Clutches bug [Investigating]

@Brigby In Bolas’s Clutches has channged its behavior is it a bug or it has been changed and there is no advise of it?

Now, if you have 3 creatures in the battlefield and you use In Bolas’s Clutches it does nothing, it is casted but you get nothing, neither a question (for this I think it is a bug) to replace one of your creatures with the stolen one.

Before 3.3 version it has always destroyed the stolen creature when you have no place for it in the battlefield.

//Edited Title - Tombstone

Ive also have had this happen to me as well. The only diffrence is that i only had two creatures out. I casted in bolas clutches and nothing happened. The support was on the board but i didnt get the creature.

I’m experiencing the same result as mentioned above. I recall @Brigby stating that the stages of resolvement, that being:

cast

capture

Place on battlefield or refuse to place on battlefield (it then dies and goes into opponent’s graveyard)

Are intentional mechanics of this card.

This does not appear to be the intended behavior. I’ll reach out to the team regarding this card for confirmation.

Thank you.

IMO, “Steal” should be a keyword, like “Summon”, “Cast”, or “Discard”.

I posted in a different thread on IBC… and will go delete that post… I want to confirm here though that in several matches for the current coalition event (TDW) IBC is not working like it did in the past when you have 3 creatures out.

In the past you would get the question on which creature to replace. Now, the support just goes on the board and the first opponent creature is unaffected or not stolen.

The card does steal the first opponent creature if you have less than 3 creatures out.

Can someone clarify that this is the intended action and the change was never announced, or if it was, let us know?

Thanks

Another element not working: I stole a creature with IBC, then Greg cast another of the same creature. I played a second IBC and it did not steal Greg’s new creature, it just layered the support on the board and Greg kept the creature.

Did you have three creatures of your own on the board? If you did, I think that is the reason it did not steal the creature…

10

No, the stolen creature was the only one I had.

IBC is so OP for its cost.
Ridiculous uncommon.

Should be 20+ mana

This is not the question in this thread. This is bugs thread.
