Mishra's Self-Replicator now counting itself on initial cast and any subsequent castings

I know the change was made to Jhoira so that reinforcing her also triggered her draw ability, however this changes also seems to have been applied to Mishra’s Self-Replicator; either intentionally or not.

This means Mishra’s enters the field as an 8/8, and any time you cast it again, it gains 8/8 rather than 4/4.

Sounds like a feature!

Mishra’s Self Replicator is historic, so I don’t think this is a bug. I wonder if Traxos can attack on reinforcement now too?

It’s a bug in the sense that his first play reinforces itself. He’s not on the field for that to trigger his effect. Its retroactively triggering the effect after the fact.

Any subsequent castings of itself should work this way but not the first.

I think that it is the same way that Oliva is being working since released, when she enters the battlefield she buffes herself.

I know there are other examples of creatures buffing themselves ewhen entering the battlefield but do not remember now which are.

The pig does it, too.

Thank you.

Rishkar, Peema Renegade does it too.
