Minor Phoenix Turns Into Aether Pendulum After Death

[jippy99]

This has happened to me twice already, the first time I wasn't paying that much attention so I didn't take a screenie.  The second time, I was playing the death/entropy ai3.  My MP had 1 poison counter on it and it died.  When it died, it turned into an Aether Pendulum for 1 turn, then die again and turned into Ash.

I had the same thing happened to me, only mine happened when I used Cremation on the Minor Phoenix.  It only lasted until I hit space, and then reverted to a normal Ash and acted accordingly.

Spoiler for Minor Aether Pendix:

Huh. A few months back, when I was trying to test Phoenix+Afla interaction, I gave the trainer AI a 30x minor phoenix deck. Using precog, all I could see were these weird Aether pillars with dark marks on them. Didn't think much of it at the time; assumed that it was because I was trying to give the AI >6 copies of a card. Now that it's cropped up again, I'm not so sure :3

Seems to be the default card or something. Seeing both Cremation and MPs makes me think you ended your turn quickly after Cremating the MP, right? Has caused trouble before.

I actually didn't end my turn quickly.  I took my time to take the screenshot, save it to my computer, crop the image, upload it to imgur, and even display it in chat before I ended my turn.

That's exactly the same card that shows up in the spins if you use the Holy Cow code in trainer (I even saved it to my profile on the old forum):

Spoiler for Hidden:

If you try to use it in a deck, weird stuff happens. It seems to have the same effect as whatever card was played just before it.

Remove Phoenix from game. It just causes too many bugs.

You better hope Naps doesn't know where you live

Aether Pendulum with a darkness primary element and a time secondary and a glitchy cost is the "default" card which will substitute everything else that is unknown, I guess this is because it's the very last card of all of them.

Speaking of Phoenix, its' phoenix ability (especially with Minor Phoenix) is glitchy, and can create many kinds of strange effects.

EDIT: Maybe this is because they're the same skill, and that bugs would be fixed by giving Minor Phoenix an own?

qazzaq told me to post my pic as well...

i wonder what happens if you cremate this pendulum?

I cremate the Aether Pendulum, turns into Ash:

So this bug hasn't been fixed yet

Ah, this actually happened to me a month or two ago, I cremated my phoenix and it turned into an aether pendulum.  I'm actually kind of surprised this happened to other people too

I don't think I need to post yet another screen shot.  But I did cremate it, and it turned into another ash.  It doesn't really cause any major problems, as it's like a spark in the way that it has 0 hp and then turns into an ash.  Although I'm not sure if the ash would have to wait an extra turn to be turned back into a phoenix... maybe that would be a problem.
