Anitmatter fail? [confirmed]

[Sodomir]

Hello,

I've found a strange thing. When you have a antimatter Deathstalker (-3/3) and your opponent has a shield e.g. bonewall) he get through the shield and poisoned or opponent. That isn't the buggy part (just a... ehm strange momentum 8) ) But when you do only poison damage you can't kill your opponent, because antimatter healing works immediately after the damage, so that he survive. It would be better when firstly antimatter works and than the poison damage.

Confirmed; known bug.

Uhh I think it's like, the poison and first creature attack simultaneously, so if the first creature is antimattered then the opponent can never be killed through poison alone.

Indeed, and I'm not so sure it's a bug. It's a well known tactic to use Antimatter on the right creature in the attack sequence in order to survive for a long time.

completely different type of antimatter fail today.

Had two vampires played.  Both were hit with antimatter.  The COUNTER says +-4, but my health went down by 4.  No healing occurred on my side. 

Haven't tested it on anything with Liquid Shadow played on it, but I played a third vampire, got anti-mattered, same thing, now it's +-4 per vampire, but only the -4 for me, and the +4 for my opponent. 

If it were going to be JUST -4 to me, should it read -4?  Or if it reads both, as I assume it's supposed to, then it should simply negate itself.

Right?  Or did I misunderstand the card intent?

Vampire formula: X damage to opponent, -X damage to you.
So, you have a vampire. It attacks, deals 6 damage to the opponent and heals you for 6.
However, if it's antimatter, then the numbers are inverted. It attacks, heals that opponent for 6 and damages you for 6.

Intended, not a bug.

You could say it returns -4 to you, which, of course, translates into damage.
