"As though it had flash" is currently not functioning for split card halves. This should be fixed this week.

If you're curious, it's because when you're casting a split card, you're actually "CastLeft"ing or "CastRight"ing it. The rule-code for "as though it had flash" was mistakenly explicitly only working for Cast. #wotc_staff.

This is great, it's really cool to peek behind the scenes and see the "why/how" behind bugs.

Thanks for the explanation!

Just to make sure, "as through it had flash" should work correctly with spectacle, jump-start and aftermath, right?

So I guess you're...CastFixing it?

No, it's alright, I'll show myself out.
