Battlegrounds (Bug) - Archlich Kel'Thuzad Disappeared

Archlich Kel’Thuzad disappeared on my next turn after combat. Here are the specific details that I have (sorry, no screenshots):

  • Playing on Windows 11 64-bit PC
  • Playing as Lich King
  • Cards in play and their respective order, left to right, are as follows:
    1. Eternal Summoner
    2. [Golden] Archlich Kel’Thuzad (with Reborn using Lich King Hero Power)
    3. [Golden] Grave Gobbler (with permanent Reborn via Steadfast Spirit Deathrattle)
    4. Titus Rivendare

I also had the effects of Primal Staff active, “Your end of turn effects trigger twice this turn.” IIRC, after all end of turn triggers completed, I was left with the resummoned Eternal Summoner, still with Reborn, all the way to the left. Next there were three (3) Eternal Knights, an Eternal Summoner without Reborn, my Golden Archlich Kel’Thuzad, then Titus Rivendare.

Once combat was over, my three Eternal Knights tripled into a golden one, and what was left on my board was…

  1. Eternal Summoner
  2. Eternal Summoner (without Reborn)
  3. A Normal Grave Gobbler (without Reborn)
  4. Titus Rivendare

That’s it. I had the golden Eternal Knight in my hand, but I no longer had my Golden Archlich Kel’Thuzad. He was just gone. He was even around during combat, but when my next turn started after combat, he had simply vanished.

Probably needless to say, I didn’t win that game, heh.

From what you described there’s no bug here
you put a grave gobbler on the right of your kel’thuzad
Grave gobbler destroys the minion left to it at the start of your recruit turn
So when your next recruit turn started, it just destroyed your kel thuzad
Since the reborn from the hero power of the lich king only lasts for the combat turn, your kel thuzad had no way to be resummoned after being destroyed
