Star Vulpera - fail

Bug Report
1

Enemy Player had out among other minions:

The Spirit’s Passage:

Listed as “Starship” description: Starship (Costs (5) Mana to Launch)

More info on card here: /hearthstone wiki gg/wiki/The_Spirits%27_Passage

Played: Star Vulpera

Description:

Tradeable Battlecry: Destroy an enemy Starship or Starship Piece .

Issue: Failed to destroy the enemy’s Starship “The Spirit’s Passage”

Their Starship remained after playing. Hence, abandoned the Arena attempt immediately.

If you can’t make cards work as intended, or can’t properly describe their intended working, at least refund arena attempts.

Match can be found here: hsreplay net/replay/6Xbzk9nfKxM5bnUU98nwGK

edit: Maybe you meant " Destroy a LAUNCHED Starship "? But the card does not say that…

I never noticed that the unlaunched version still has the keyword there, Star Vulpera might actually need a wording change to make it consistent like you say.

Either that’s what they were hoping, or par for the course with them.

It is NOT working properly. The text clearly states “Tradeable Battlecry: Destroy an enemy Starship or Starship piece.”
It does NOT say “Launched” anywhere on the card.
Example “The Exiles Hope” is displayed as a “Starship (made up of X of pieces)” which means it is a “STARSHIP” even while pieces are still being added to it during play. It is NOT listed as a SHIPYARD while in play waiting for pieces to be added. That would be like saying Space X’s Starship is NOT a Starship because it is sitting on the launch pad waiting to be launched or they are adding heat tiles to it.

not a starship you are building one thats what the "if you are building a starship " use

and it doesnt have the “minion frame”

9

The word “destroy” implicitly assumes that the thing is:

  1. Able to be targeted
  2. Able to be destroyed, such as a minion or location

A Starship still under construction is, as far as I know, neither of those. It is an untouchable visual placeholder for the forthcoming starship, similar to a dormant minion.

Still isnt working. It cannot destroy Battlecruisers. Lost a game cause of this bullcrap.

11

no where does it say that. tokens like that are also destroyed by other means. so this is a bug. either not inteded or wrongly worded

12

that is not what the cards say. so maybe you and blizzard should learn to read the cards

Nowhere does what say what? It would help if you actually said what you are talking about.

Tokens like what? Again, I don’t know what you mean. Examples would be good.

14

Nowhere does it say that this is implied so destroy should work on a no yet launched starship. Just read what i wrote befor it is all there.

15

Well, yes, that’s what imply means. It isn’t stated.

16

So it is not game relevant for this discussion. Anything on the board should be destroyable.

17

Why do you say that? Where is that rule written, that “anything on the battlefield can be destroyed”?

For example, there is no way I know of to destroy dormant minions.

Nor is there a way to destroy things that are similar to dormant minons, such as Purified Dragon Nest, The Twisting Nether, and unlaunched Starships.

18

You mean like Reno did until the nerf?

19

Sort of.

Reno used to say “empty the enemy board”, which is not strictly the same thing as “destroy”.

And Reno longer does that, which is why I said “there is no way …”, indicating present tense. I am not aware of any current way to do that.

Still does not change anything. The card reads: Destroy starship. A not yet launched starship is a starship period! So either they change the wording or make the card destroy it.
