Title: Arena deckbuilder showing different # of cards from Standard Deckbuilder
Post by: dragonsdemesne on September 18, 2011, 01:04:45 pm

Not sure how to explain this one in words, so I'm using pictures:  (no buying/selling/upgrading of cards was done in between)

This is my collection of "other" cards.  In particular, notice that there are *23* Quantum Towers.

This is still my collection of "other" cards, but now instead of being on the deckbuilder menu for normal games, I am in the deckbuilder for the Arena:

Notice that there are *19* Quantum Towers in the collection and *5* in the deck.  Where did the 24th Quantum Tower come from?  I have no idea.

If I take out the 5 towers from the deck one by one, I get this:

24 Towers on the arena deckbuilder, but 23 on the other deckbuilder.

If I click on 'remove all', I'm back to 23 towers again:

So the correct # of towers I own is 23. (probably)  At this point you get the idea.  Anyway, in the arena deck, I can put all 24 in the deck.  I'm not sure what would happen if I submitted it like that; I don't really want to test that :p  I tried scrapping and rebuilding the deck, presumably in a different order, and when I did that, and put the towers in somewhere in the middle, the count dropped by one once I added the first one.  However, when I resubmitted and went back to that screen, the 24th tower had magically reappared again.

I have no idea what's going on...  ???

I can confirm this. Was too lazy to get all the details >.<
It happened to me probably more than twice so far with two different cards (IIRC: bone tower and epinephrine), both had one extra card. Unfortunately I don't know what actually triggers this.

I can also confirm that the extra card won't exist in the arena deck once played (at least it wasn't when I test it). So, there's a potential abuse to this where you can have less than 35 cards for arena deck. My guess this would be something related to the rapid-clicking bug.

Happens to me with Mark of Life - see this thread (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,33317.html). My Quantum towers are behaving though.
