Mind Control Bug [fixed]

[paulishuku]

This has happened to me 3 times already so I can definitely can confirm it wasnt just a bad situation.

An ally of mine gets mind controlled. When it returns back to me I do not get to draw a card that turn. It was a different ally each time. All three times they were using Zaladar.

Yeah it's a known bug. It's quite gamebreaking though as you don't get to draw a card OR sacrifice. Basically Mind control is even more powerful >.<.

OMFG nor do you get shadow energy. Wow this sucks.

I mean seriously, this just makes elementals even more ridiculous. You get your creature back, yay, but you get No card, no resource, and no shadow energy.

Bug about Mind Control skipping Draw and Sacrifice phase has been reported.

Regarding Shadow Energy, this was fixed in v1.25 as it was intended for a max of 10; like how the graphical counter always ceilinged at 10. Rules:

Shadow Energy is generated automatically each turn, and can be stored up to 10 points until you wish to use it.

EDIT: Er, Shadow Energy increments around the Draw phase and since the bug skips to your Action phase.. I think it skips Shadow Energy increments too; have to check later.

I have same situation several times. My hero is elementails and other player's hero is zalada. When my spark which is mindcontroled is returned, my resource step is skipped automatically.So I start that turn at action step. That's version is v1.25,too.

Found this thread to report exactly the same.
So it's not possible to draw a card (or even two cards with Bazaar), and in addition your sacrifice phase gets skipped.
Pretty mean...

+1 bug is consistent, and unavoidable. Hoping for the fix in 1.26.

Yep, this is fixed for v1.26, along with the new version of MC.
