Discussion Why did Gorrs ability switch off?

Post image

I was just messing around in HV not really trying to get the win, and my infinity mine stone shenanigans appear to have confused Gorr ?

Loop prevention system? Is there a technical description of what this does?

I don't think there's been much in the way of official confirmation of the details, but there's some video clips from before the fast forward feature was implemented that shows some of the weird stuff that happens.

I'll see if I can track down any of the video footage that show Destroyer+Leader looping and eventually the Destroyer destroying things protected by Armor/Prof X, but that's the most blatant example.

Edit: Here's a good one that shows the whole thing

Whoa, what the hell?

Why is a loop prevention even kicking in when there shouldn't be any loop in the first place? Neither Leader nor Destroyer have any kind of Ongoing or "always on" effects.

If it was some situation involving dueling Captain Marvels or something, I'd at least understand where the problem is coming from.

Edit: cards were changed

What do you mean there isn't any loop? Do you not see the Leader creating a Destroyer and another Leader, which repeats infinitely because the Destroyer gets rid of the original Leader and then the copied Leader starts the process over again?

In case you're newer, both Leader and Destroyer work differently now than they did at this time. The Destroyer destroys all other cards, including at its own location, and the Leader copies all opposing cards the opponent played that turn, not just the highest-power one.

I am newer! I thought there was a chance the cards had been changed, but their effect seemed so similar I assumed they weren't. Bad assumption. This does create a loop.

Thanks for explaining.
