I was going to post this in bug report but when i saw another post just like mine i decided to post it here. https://imgur.com/gallery/vjI0Ybk as you can see here Anchored Totem buffs a minion that costs 3 mana. Then I searched it up I found out that those tokens like Die-Hard Fan from Screaming Banshee and Popstar from Harmonic Pop cost 1 mana. It doesn’t make any sense. As well as Die-Hard Fan’s stats it’s mana cost also increases. For example : If I heal for 5 (Banshee on board) I summon a 5/5 which costs 5 mana. Anchored Totem shouldn’t buff that. I don’t know what you guys might think but for me it feels so wrong. When the token jumps back to our hand, it’s not 1 mana. There are many examples of such tokens, like jades golems, fleeting spirits of Demon Hunter and Dark Alley Pact. If it’s 1 mana why not show it that way when we hover it? If it’s 1 mana, it should show it that way and it should also cost 1 mana (regardless of stats) when it bounces to hand. Either way I don’t think Anchored Totem should be buffing tokens like that. What do you guys think?
Anchored Totem buffes minions according to their current mana costs. That’s why you can use the Anchored Totem to buff minions like Gigantotem which is a 10 mana minion.
Using mana discounts this way is part of the strategy.
As it should be. Gigantotem can be reduced to 1 mana. And when played for 1 mana it should be buffed as expected. What I’m talking about is totally different.
If we play Gigantotem when it costs 5 mana for example, it won’t be buffed. And I don’t think any other token should be buffed by Anchored Totem when it’s bigger than 1/1. Since they go like 1 mana 1/1, 2 mana 2/2, 3 mana 3/3 etc. Only instance Anchored Totem should be buffing Die-Hard Fan is if you heal for 1 and summon a 1/1 Die-Hard Fan.
Pretty sure all tokens have a base value of 1 because if they were silenced they would be a 1 cost 1/1. I think this might be where the buff is getting its green light from in your example. Whereas the other is a regular minion with a variable cost but again if silenced it’s value wouldnt be just 1 right?
“Pretty sure all tokens have a base value of 1 because if they were silenced they would be a 1 cost 1/1.” I don’t think this ever happens. Yes they do have base value of 1 and top value of 10(I guess). But it’s not a “buff” that we can silence. Through circumstances tokens generate in various stats. But those considered their original stats. Green light in my example is from the Anchored Totem. Silencing Die-Hard Fan would only bring it back to it’s original stats, 3/3. Which isn’t supposed to be buffed in the first place. Being the entire idea of my discussion.
Have you never seen a board wide silence? its like the most useful card priest has that costs 1 mana lol. any tokens on the board at that point would be and do get silenced.
