Bug with improved mutations when momentum ability on the creature

[Bloodshadow]

Yes. If the creature has Momentum, then you cannot get it to have any other ability via mutation.

If this happens, I suggest you mutate it until you get a high attacking creature. Mutating a 0/1 Fate Egg with Momentum into a Crimson Dragon with Momentum is much better.

I have been playing around the last few days with the Fallen Druid in a rainbow deck for god farming.  I often times will hit the same creature multiple times with the improved mutation till I get something I like for the ability.  However I have been noticing a trend when the momentum ability pops up on the creature.  Once this ability seems to appear, I can not seem to get a new ability on the creature whenever I improve mutate it, although the underlying creature still changes as it should.

I usually end up just feeding it into a devour or leaving it as is, but its annoying as sometimes I just don't have another creature I would want to mutate.

I suppose I could have horrible random luck on this, but I am doubting that is the case.  I wonder if its because momentum is a passive ability like immortal and that is the problem.

It's a but with the Momentum ability. The same thing happens when you TU a creature with momentum. For example, if I have an Elite Otyugh in play and I play Momentum on it, it'll gain the ability to bypass shields, but still have Devour. Then, if I play TU on the creature, the copy will have Momentum as it's ability, and will no longer have Devour. =/

This has been fixed with the 1.15 update.
