Protectors protecting protectors in the graveyard

[highmystica]

Alright I've noticed after some update that protectors started protecting my opponents graveyards, which in itself is no biggie. However today I summoned a Rotling and figured I should be able to eat the Aeon Stormcaller they had in their graveyard even if they had an Aeon on the board at the time. I'm not sure if this bug goes beyond that and messes with Death Collector, Spirit Warden, or even other protectors in the graveyard, but it might be worthwhile to look into that as well. As much as it annoys me that protectors can now protect the graveyard, it does make sense, yet I should be able to target the allies in the graveyard that also have protector. The only other thing I can think of is maybe somehow the unique keyword may have had something to do with it because Aeon is unique like that ...

Wat.

Is this real life?

I'm confused

That protector is so over-protective...

Sounds to me like Highmystica was confounded by Spirit Warden....

That only prevents adding cards from the Graveyard to the hand.

And not all those decks used spirit warden, regardless I'm sure it's a bug.

The reason I mentioned Spirit warden is that it was unable to bypass the onboard protector to remove stuff from the graveyard ...

Alright so I took my AI farming build against a custom AI build which follows:

Amber Rain

Birgitte Skullborn *4
Aeon Stromcaller *4
Valiant Defender *4
Blood Frenzy *1
Cover of Night *4
Bazaar *4
Bad Santa *4
Mocking Armor *4

Alright so they had only the Mocking Armor out and one Birgette in the graveyard, the Armor prevented my rotling from eating the Birgette ... this is easily reproduced. Protectors should not be able to protect protectors in the graveyard.

Match 2: Birgette protected a graveyard Birgette from a rotling ... FIX IT!

Yep this certainly does seem to happen, but its a bug for Rotling. It doesn't appear to happen with anything else. But indeed, he doesn't get the chance to target anything in the graveyard if there is a protector out. I'll log it.
