Naturalize is worded “Destroy a minion. Your opponent draws 2 cards.” This spell is functioning incorrectly when combined with Solar Eclipse which reads “The next spell you cast this turn casts twice.” as it “destroys” the same minion twice. Not only does this make no sense it is a major contributor to the mill-Druid variety of decks that are plaguing Wild format. The combination of these two spells should be either (1) Naturalize only casts once as the targeted minion is already destroyed (this would be similar to casting Solar Eclipse and then a Secret spell where you don’t get two copies of the same secret) or (2) the second Naturalize targets a random minion as the minion that was first targeted has been already destroyed. I’m not in favor of this fix but it would at least be logical.
This is not a bug.
In all cases where a spell is targeted, effects that make it cast twice always make it cast twice on the same target. There is no reason why this one spell should be an exception.
Yep. All spells are always this way. It would be the same if the spell did damage and the minion ‘already died’ it would just hit it again and its health would go negative [or more negative if it already went under zero].
No bug.
Yes, it does.
Dead minions generally aren’t removed from the battlefield until all current effects have fully resolved.
After the first Naturalize, The Solar Eclipse was obviously not fully resolved, so the minion remained on the board, and was destroyed (again!) by the second Naturalize.
Cop 1: “Repeat?”
Cop 2: “Repeat.”
Cop 1: “Pull Over!”
Driver: “what? Im already pulled over!”
Passenger: “He’s already pulled over! He cant pull over any farther!”
Backseat Passenger: “The Snozberries taste like snozberries…”
Yeah, no bug. not immediately obvious so it can seem at first counter intuitive, i can see that much from your point. But as they explained. Repeat. Repeat.
Yeah, I think it’s intended. It’s always been like that. A similar situation occurs when playing Brann + Gluttonous Ooze and destroy your opponent’s weapon, you get double the armor.
