Shard of Patience with Enchant Artifact

[erockmahan]

Desperate for a solution to defend myself against a Shard of Patience attack vs multiple water mobs, I placed "Enchant Artifact" on his Shard of Patience, hoping that this might make it impossible to cancel, thus preventing all his water creatures from ever attacking me.

It didn't work, and the shard was cancelled the next turn.

The bug, though, happened when the Shard was played again, because it was also Enchanted.  Whether this was a graphical bug or not, I was unable to confirm.

PA protects permanents against PC, and SoP's 'click to remove' is its ability, to self destruct.

By placing a PA on SoP, all you're doing is prevent yourself from being able to destroy it with PC.

This is a confirmed bug when the same thing is done with unstable gas; it's probably caused by the same thing.  I wonder if sundials have the same problem... I don't ever PA them so I have no idea :p

It's like the Aflatoxin+Reverse Time bug.
BTW, this could be easily replicable, in trainer, make a deck with 6 EA, 6 Explosion, 6 Steals, 6 Precognition, 6 Stone skins (for fun) for you, with max quanta. For the opponent (False God), mark of water, 6 precogs, 6 SoP, 6 Golden Nymphs, 12 Time Tower.
Should be okay, if I have the time I'll try it.

I know this is an older thread, but I have been encountering the same situation (took some hunting to find where this was posted!).

While testing my own arena deck with multiple SoP, a SoP was played, and Protect Artifact used on it. The AI removed the SoP, but one turn later played another one - also enchanted.

A subsequent arena deck test showed that it's positional - the same SoP+enchant, removal, and now a water pendulum placed instead of a SoP - still gained the enchantment icon.

I'll test further to see if the second-placed permanent's enchantment is graphical or a true enchantment.
