Laelia, the Blade Reforge's last ability triggers twice when a single spell or ability exiles from both library and graveyard

Open DominionSpy opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

[[Laelia, the Blade Reforged]]'s third ability reads:

Whenever one or more cards are put into exile from your library and/or your graveyard, put a +1/+1 counter on Laelia.

According to the rulings, this should only trigger once if a spell or ability exiles cards from the library and graveyard:

The last ability only triggers once for each time cards are put into exile from your library and/or graveyard, no matter how many cards were exiled at the same time.

Currently this is triggering twice.

Steps to Reproduce Setup:

  • A nonland card should be in your graveyard
  • The same card should also be in your library
  • Laelia, the Blade Reforged should be on your battlefield
  • Cranial Extraction should be in your hand Steps:
  • Cast Cranial Extraction targeting yourself and choose the nonland card name
  • Exile the copy in the graveyard and the copy in your library
  • Observe that two copies of the Laelia trigger are put onto the stack

A similar issue also affects a new MKM card [[Kaya, Spirits' Justice]].

Until end of turn, target token you control becomes a copy of it, except it has flying. +2: Surveil 2, then exile a card from a graveyard. +1: Create a 1/1 white and black Spirit creature token with flying. −2: Exile target creature you control. For each other player, exile up to one target creature that player controls.

can presumably be fixed by using new ZONE_CHANGE_BATCH (see #11895)

(Kaya, Spirit's Justice already implemented using that)
