Bug with Big Bad Archmage

Bug Report

Hello :slight_smile:
Big Bad Archmage was on board and hurt : 6/2

I wanted to evolve him with the card “Mutate”

But nothing happened and Big Bad Archmage was stil 6/2

I won but I wanted to share it

If there are no minions that cost (1) more (Mutate, Evolve) or no minions that cost (1) less (Devolve). then those spells do nothing to that minion.

Big Bad Archmage is a 10-cost minion and there are no 11-cost minions in Standard format.

Good to know!!!
I think something similar happened to me once with big bad voodoo on a Giant…I can’t recall exactly but I think nothing came back when it died (teaches me for being greedy).

edit: after checking, I think that behaviour has changed since a recent fix (I think I used BBV before the fix):

they changed only for Big Bad Vodoo , dont ask me why.

Big Bad Voodoo is currently the only effect that summons a minion of a 1 higher cost. All other “1 higher cost” / “1 lower cost” effects transform a minion.
That difference probably accounts for the difference in how a situation is handled when the target cost is not available.

Wow now that’s would deserve some card text clarification!
It’s always tempting to be greedy and Voodoo or Evolve those big boys costing 10/12…
The alternative being either another 10/12 or…nothing is usually a game changer.
