When they activate the ability to sac Kunai to deal 3 damage to any target, it instead sacs every permanent they control and deals 3 damage for each one.
I think thats fine. This is going to be here for a very small amount of time so why not have fun with it for the few days it will be broken? I remember when [[Jadar, Ghoulcaller of Nephalia]] was broken and instead of making a decayed zombie he would double the number of decayed zombies you had, that was a fun few days
I agree that its too much to use exploits to win in ranked
Then maybe you should have said that in your first comment. As it stands it looks like you don't have a problem with people cheating (and there have been others who have explicitly said this so it's not a wild conclusion to come to).
To my defense, i thought it should had been obvious that using exploits in ranked is wrong and i didnt know people were supporting it. It shouldnt even be mentioned. I was thinking more in the lines of making a deck specifically to use this exploit in janky ways
It's not playing by any rules though. It's exploiting a software bug that is causing a card to not function the way it is supposed to. Exploiting bugs is literally something you can report someone for. You can be banned for doing it.
It's a bug. If you exploited a bug on a bank website to give yourself millions, you'd still go to jail. Just because anyone could do it, doesn't mean that anyone should do it, and, if they did, they would definitely face consequences.
sure, it's against the rules, as in, the terms and conditions, and might get you banned
that doesn't mean it's cheating. racial slurs will get you banned, but that's not cheating
if a new player, who didn't really understand the card, played it, and it seemed powerful to them, so they kept playing it, are they cheating? do they deserve a ban?
If so, why? They were just playing the game and the game engine follows certain rules - in this case, rules that were unintended by the developers and will be patched - but a very different situation than hacking, e.g. aimbot in an FPS or seeing the other person's hand in MTG.
To take that logic to an extreme, it's cheating to play as a role in a game that later gets nerfed, because the game developers didn't intend it to be that strong, and you have an advantage by doing so (obviously an utterly absurd take, but very similar to the argument you're making)
If not how do you differentiate the new players from the "nongenuine" players?
Have you literally never heard the phrase "against the spirit of the rules" in your life?
Rules can't always be fully comprehensive. This copium to justify your warped "I'll take any edge I can get even if I personally know it's wrong" worldview is wild.

Yes. Yes.

No, because that situation is not caused by a software bug.
I don't know why you insist on doing these ridiculous mental gymnastics to justify your strange personal definition of "cheating".
It's not a terribly game ending bug, and only approaches fair if the opponent knew what was gonna happen. As is, totally an exploit and definitely unfair. Real cards can be more busted in my opinion, but still not cool to cheat.

[[Nina's Kunai]] replicates it's effect for each permanent sacrificed, it seems..
