Mangled bandit works in illogical way in discard

Mangled bandit works in an illogical way when discarding a spell.
If you hold spell in hand during your game if will discard (lets say a blood gem) it will discard any card and if not, it wont discard any card. That is logical if tis supposed to work like that.
The thing is that if you hold that blood gem in hand during your turn and gain a tavern spell at the start of turn. It can discard either the blood gem or the tavern spell, but if you did not hold the blood gem in hand it will not even trigger and you gain the tavern spell.
So basically the code is done so that it check BEFORE start of turn if there is a spell in hand and does the discard AFTER start of turn. The tavern spell is gained before the start of turn, but after the check is done if I have a spell in hand. So no discard will happen.

I think there should be one of the changes done:

  • change text from “At the start of turn…” to “Before start of turn…”
  • change it to discard only the spell that was in hand before the next turn starts
    *or change it to trigger if you gained a spell during the start of your next turn (because now it can also discard it)

not a bug, everything works exactly as intended

Would you mind to elaborate ?
Because from what they describe, that can’t be intended.

How is it intended that you can discard a tavern spell granted by a start of turn effect ONLY IF you also have another spell coming from your previous turn ?

Just read again what I described…

Now it checks it before the start of the turn if I have a spell

  • If I have a spell then trigger effect, but not immediately, but lets wait for a while
    Then it triggers all other at end of turn effects
    Then discard any of the spells I have gained after all effects are triggered

  • If I dont have a spell, dont trigger the effect
    wait again all the other at start of turn effects
    but now I would have 1 spell in hand but it does not trigger

So I still hold on to the statement
I think there should be one of the changes done:

  • change text from “At the start of turn…” to “Before start of turn…”
  • change it to discard only the spell that was in hand before the next turn starts
  • or change it to trigger if you gained a spell during the start of your next turn (because now it can also discard it)
