"The Golden Hammer" Permanent instead of "until next turn"

Bug Report

I just played a game in battlegrounds on Finley => The Rat King and chose “The Golden Hammer” quest reward.
Once I got the reward the first minion I goldened was Lava Lurker, which is supposed to turn golden permanently due to its card text, and so naturally it did.
But then each time I used the Golden Hammer spellcraft on other minions (most notably on Brann Bronzebeard and Monstrous Macaw and Ball of Minions) they stayed golden permanently also, for the rest of the game. I had long sold the Lava Lurker by the time I goldened the Macaw and the Ball of Minions if that is of any relevance.

I assume this is not intended? I don’t understand how this happened.

Happened to me, too. Seems to be a clear bug.

I have also had this happen in two separate games now. Specifically, golden hammering a lava lurker with the first hammer, and then the next minion i hammer also stays golden all game; athisa and brann were the minions. I’ve seen others say all the hammers are permanent, but i’ve only experienced having the first minion hammered after lurker stay golden.

Top ladder player(s) are actively abusing this bug… pretty frustrating.
