First of all, Thankyou for all of the hard work you all are doing. You've done a fantastic job with the new set, and although at times it's hard to bear, these things take time to be done right, and I feel that is exactly what you all are doing.
On to the bug. Now, this isn't even really a bug per se, but more something that needs to be discussed and revised. As it stands right now, if you use
Aramia
's ability, and either don't have an item to fetch, OR only have items in your deck that you already have a copy of in play, the game will not allow you to either
A.) cancel the ability use without putting an item in play
B.) replace the item you currently have in play with a new copy of itself
Now, it has been stated that since this game is meant to be compatible with physical form, there is an inherent flaw in
Aramia's ability, and that is, before you know if you have any items left that you are able to get, you must search your library and check. This leads to a possible solution for the online game, which is simply - dont allow her to use her SE ability if she doesn't have any eligible targets left in the deck. The problem here is that isn't possible in physical play. So lets move on to other thoughts:
Since you are going to be able to activate her ability in the physical and even if you have 1 card left in your library, I feel that there has to either be an if clause attached to her ability, or an or. Example:
3SE: search your deck for an item costs 3 or less and put it into play as if summoned from your hand. If you do not find an item to put into play, shuffle your library, lose 3 life, and draw a card.
Now, this may seem a bit overpowered, and really it could simply read something along the lines of, shuffle your library and lose 1 life or something, depends how negative a consequence you want it to be. Right now the consequence is, if you can't find an item to put into play, the clock will run down to 0:00 and will not end the game until you concede by switching screens or ending the program.
On first thought I do think there should be negative consequence if you use the ability and can't meet the requirements, but much like whiffing with praxis' ability, I feel that a balance could be struck by finding a floor for her ability. But that is something that can be discussed as well. Thanks for your time and tbh, I'm probably going to transfer this to a thread to see what the others think is a viable solution to the problem! Take care!!
