Come on Blizzard, at least test your damn game before you release it. With Demon Seed Quest Complete Explosive Runes Actually does damage to the Mage who Cast it. Do you actually employ QA?
Well, yes⌠The Demon Seed Quest completetion says all damage the Warlock gets on his turn gets done to his opponent, so if Explosive Runes triggers, the damage is done to the Mage.
How did that get past any designer that isnât an intern? It is like they donât realize there are cards not in standard anymore that cause damage to people not on their turn.
Same thing would happen if Warlock were to, say, play Toxicologist on Runed Mithril Rod (EDIT: actually, Jaraxxus would be far easier, forgot about that) and then use it to smash their face into your minion: youâd take your minionâs ATK as damage while Warlock goes unscathed.
I didnât think he was agreeing with me, he was explaining the interaction, which in turn I said is absolutely terrible design. How do you design a card that so broken and say âYea, this is good.â?
âHey, this works as intended. Shouldnât we change it?â
âUhm⌠Why would we change it? Didnât you say it worked as intended?â
âWell, yes, but⌠UhâŚâ
Also, Explosive Trap is still in Standard, so yeahâŚ
Explosive Runes deals 6 damage to the unit the other player plays and what ever is left over hits the other player. Instead with Seed Lock, the damage done to the Warlock hits the mage.
Yes, because the Warlock receives damage on his turn and it is therefore deflected by Tamsinâs effect, which is: for the rest of the game, damage you take on your turn damages your opponent instead.
It seems to me like itâs working exactly as worded and intended, wouldnât you agree ?
Unless youâre pretending explosive rune isnât triggered in the warlockâs turn ? Which is impossible since secrets only trigger in your opponentâs turn.
Yes, it works in the stupidest possible. They need to nerf that stupid quest and label it âAny self inflicted damageâ instead of âany damageâ. There is no reason fatigue / explosive runes / bombs etc should hit anyone except the Warlock. I guess I have a hard time fathoming that their dev team is that terrible, but I am not sure why I am shocked.
I havenât tried cus I donât own the quest but shouldnât the effect be overwritten with the hero transforming into Jaraxxus?
Edit.- nevermind on close reading to blightborn Tamsimâs text I guess it should work as you describe it.
In Duels, Bomb Warrior vs Quest Lock is a sure fire loss. Either you complete their quest faster or just die upon quest completion. Good times, even itâs sad olâ me getting squashed.
