Reflect shield not reflecting purify while animation goes off.

[blarp]

I haven't tested it for all the reflective shields, only the unupped mirror shield. But when an opponent uses purify against you when you have a reflect shield on your side of the field, the reflect animation goes off over the shield, however purify is not reflected onto the user (opponent). As purify is a spell, I believe that it should reflect onto the user. If this is zanz's intention, then this is a relatively important bug. If zanz intended for reflect shield not to reflect purify, then it is simply an animation glitch that doesn't much matter.

Opinion: PLEASE MAKE REFLECTIVE SHIELDS REFLECT PURIFY!

This is different than the desync bug that got reflective shields banned previously.

Especially since SoSac has been nerfed too.

+1, reflective SoSa are 2 card combos and is still counterable.

By the same logic, poison?

what does poison have to do with it?

More to do with the theme reflective shields should reflect targeted spells than the actual bug; this may be a bit off topic.
"As purify is a spell, I believe that it should reflect onto the user."
Thus, as poison (basically the opposite of purify) is a spell, it should also be reflected.

We are agreed on the animation bug.

Mirror shield description: "reflects damage from spells". Purify does no damage. Poison does no damage. They add counters. Working as intended i guess.

I +1 this.
And so does Nightmare. Nightmare(even the HP drain) is not reflected with Reflective Shield.

As much as I think SoSac has been a little over nerfed now, I don't think Reflective shield should reflect purify or poison since neither does damage.
The shield text specifically says "Any damage from spells is reflected" so I see no reason why it should reflect purify or poison.

On the other hand, I do think it should reflect the damage from nightmare since it is, essentially, a spell dealing damage.

If reflective shield is allowed to reflect poison or purify, then the wording needs to be changed to reflect that change.

I'm not against that from a balance point of view, although I do think that it should have a raised cost... For that matter, it would be nice if catapult damage were included somehow since there is currently no way to stop it. But I'm starting to get off track now so I'll leave it at that.

Maybe it should work partially then.
