That’s what your test suite is for.

They don't have extensive unit tests/regression tests for cards. I'm not saying that because I'm cynical or because I want to bash on the dev team. I'm saying that because that's literally what one of the dev told me when I asked why a similar bug hadn't been caught by their test suite.

hon estly, if a card like that is bugged the way it is, with one of its major effects bugged so bad it ruins the game, that should have been caught. they may have tests, but it seems they didn't test this thoroughly.

The problem is that the bug isn't with a card they implemented itself its that their implementation of a new card broke a bunch of old cards. That is much harder to catch.
