Title: Infinite use of abilities with Psyche Metal
Post by: Turlututu on November 09, 2020, 06:15:58 pm

Hello all!

I'm getting out of my lurker shell to tell you I discovered a glitch with Psyche Metal and couldn't find any mention of it in the forums.

If you "force" a creature/permanent that has an ability it's not supposed to be able to use (because it has summoning sickness, or because you already used it up), it becomes like a Rustler on steroids and lets you keep using the ability as much as you can pay for it.

Add a Shard of Readiness and you get embarrassingly easy and fast OTKs with eg Physalia or Forest Spectre. Or you can get infinite quanta with Alicorn, draw your deck with Golden Hourglass, and so on. It's fun but I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to happen. :-)

I hope once the bug is fixed it remains possible to use Pyche Metals as a poor man's SoR on a stick.

Right, this explains timpa seeing AI spam mend awhile back

Fix: https://github.com/serprex/openEtG/commit/a11c683732fbbc3ea5fb78b8e8ab6673c99e6605 (psyche is still a poor man's sor)

It still leaves me puzzled why AI thought it was a good idea to burn all its :light quanta on mend tho.
