Spirit of the badlands mirage becoming a normal card

Exactly what it sounds like, the mirage turns into a normal card if you don’t play the minion.

What minion was it copying when this happened?

I can imagine this might happen if it copies a minion that also transforms in your hand, like Shifter Zerus or Chameleos.

It happened to me on ladder with mindbreaker and then I went to check against the innkeeper and it isn’t based on what the minion it transforms into is

After the latest patch of the lost city of ungoro mini set, the mirage created from spirit of the badlands disappears.

Edit: Just had it happen in a different decklist now. Did the latest update break Spirit of the Badlands? I had no issues with it at all before the miniset release. This card is actual garbage if the mirage fizzles out after 2 turns. What is this


I was trying out a deck idea around elemental highlander. Except every time I use Spirit of the Badlands, the Permanent Mirage it gives me ends up breaking after the second or third copy. It seems like something specifically between the Mirage and enabled elementals causes the bug? Specifically Elementals with the “If you played an elemental last turn, do X” effects. The Mirage becomes a copy of the card and that’s it. Its no longer a mirage, its transformed completely into the elemental it copied. When played, I don’t get another mirage. Which isn’t suppose to happen. If I play the mirage, I’m suppose to get my mirage back so it copies into any card.

I can confirm that it always turns into a regular card if you dont play it.

Have the same thing happening to me. No issues before the latest update, now the mirage disappears/turns into a regular card after 1-2 turns.

Same here. The mirage is completely broken right now, turning into a regular card after a turn or so.

I´ve starded playing my Reno Pala and yes, sadly Mirage is now useless…

Every second minion turns into a permanent Minion.

Have 2 replays were you can see it:

https://hsreplay.net/replay/oRcD3d23LgYrcvf8yQPbfJ

It´s on different minions.

Every second Minion become permanent…

I have exactly the same thing, I thought it only triggered with one particular card, I hope they fix it

It’s a Wild Card that is not very Meta relevant.

1-3 months i guess… :neutral_face:

I have found if you play the mirage card every turn, it stays in your hand, as soon as you don’t play it on a turn the mirage turns into a permanent card next turn. I hope this isn’t just a nerf.

I have noticed this pattern in my games: it becomes a regular copy of a minion if you happen to draw the minion it is copying.

I missed playing highlander paladin so I started playing wild with my below average Renethal Reno deck. After playing a few games I noticed that sometimes Mirage gets permanently transformed into the last minion it offered, instead of changing at the beginning of the next turn.

Mirrage card(the one given by spirit of badlands) dissapears in a few random number of turns(it should stay in hand for the duration of the game). I’ve expirienced this is about 8 out of my last 10 games when using Spirit of Badlands and not using the Mirrage for 1 to 3 turns in a row.
