[ Blessing of Belzenlok has been fixed, Helm of the Gods still needs to be looked at. ]
Post-Deployment, I’ve tried using Blessing of Belzenlok on a Legendary, Helm of the Gods on any creature while I had at least 3 supports and History of Benalia on a Knight that did not have First Strike, already.
In each case, the buff was applied but then was promptly removed. This was over several matches and still the same thing occurred. Spell buffs do not seem to be sticking, even if for the end of a turn, in Blessing’s case.
I came here to complain about Blessing of Belzenlok not working. I had to use an extra potion because of it. That’s not a big deal for me, but this bug is a huge problem.
@Rhasget - Good.. However, there’s a couple others that need attention, too, if you read my original post. History of Benalia and Helm of the Gods are also broken, I just used Blessing to grab attention (which it seems to have, at least a little more..)
My guess is there is some underlying mechanic that’s broken causing those to not work as another Origin card, Enshrouding Mist, DOES work and keeps the prevent damage on the creature as expected but does not have any requirement, like the former three, which Blessing requires Legendary, Helm requires 3 or more supports and History requires the Knight class on the creature. This is true of the support cards that supply abilities with no requirements other than being the first (or last) creature.
Hopefully someone gets this and can look into it. Hopefully…
Sorry, sloppy reading of your initial post made me miss the bigger picture.
I tested some of the interactions you mention ans it’s not clear cut that buffs always disappear. In a few attempts they worked as intended (Helm, Benalia and tried Vampires Zeal also). But in most they disappeared directly.
Zeal worked as intended half of the times, Benalia one in four and Helm failed one the one cast I have got it out.
Can’t see a connection between why it worked when it did and why it didn’t at most times.
Cards are still not working. @techmarine5 - The Helm applies the first strike (which should be perm) but immediately removes it, just like Blessing of Belzenlok applies the lifelink icon then it immediately disappears.
It’s particularly frustrating because Blessing’ is one of the few lifelink abilities Black has for Standard play now that all of the support buff lifelink cards for them have been put in Legacy (Cartouche of Ambition, anyone?).
But even more so because they worked before and now they don’t and despite posting this end of July (and putting in a ticket for it) I still don’t see this on the “Investigating” list.
@Brigby - I haven’t called on you, before, but if you don’t mind, can you have a look at this one and let the team know? Please?
@Azerack The team is aware of the issue with Blessing of Belzenlok and is investigating it along with Helm of the Gods. I’ll go ahead and add it to the bug list for reference.
