Moonfang interaction

Skizzy:

So, I tested this since I do have 2 accounts, and the results are not completely consistent. I played a mage against a warrior. The mage played Ashtongue, the warrior played Cursed Blade, and my mage Stickyfingered the warrior’s Cursed Blade then played Animated Armor.

Mage played Ray of Frost on Ashtonge, damaging Ashtongue 2 and damaging the Mage 1.

Warrior hit Mage’s face with 1/1 Novice Engineer, damaging Mage 2.

Warrior hit Mage’s face with 2/3 Manafeeder Panthara, damaging Mage 1.

Warrior hit Mage’s face with 6/3 Moonfang, damaging Mage 1.

Warrior plays Mo’arg artificer, Mage uses Ice Lance on Ashtongue, damaging Ashtongue 8 and damaging the Mage 1.

So, it looks like anything above 1 damage gets reduced to 1, but 1 damage gets doubled to 2 for some reason. I might try to see what happens if the cards are played in a different order, but that’s all I have right now.

As Skizzy tested with Animated armor + Cursed Blade (which is same idea than moonfang + moarg), the animated armor takes precedence IF AND ONLY IF the damage was more than 1 prior to attacking.

With Moarg + Moonfang, if the same interaction is applied, it would mean fireball would hit moonfang for 1, but using shiv/fan on knives/etc (whatever does 1damage as spell) would hit moonfang for 2 damage.

When it happened to me, I think there was spelldamage on board, so it contradicts with cursed blade interaction. Maybe those 2 seemingly same interactions are not coded the same way, but in any case, any “Only” card should take priority, or the wording on the card should be changed.

This here. “Only” in English doesn’t mean “only unless some other stuff happens.”

I only carry an umbrella when it is raining. Would anyone expect me to do it if someone told me to carry two?

I only eat vegan food. Would someone expect me to eat meat sometimes? (note: this is an example, please don’t take away my meat).
