Phyrexian Mana bug
TappedOut forum
Posted on Feb. 27, 2012, 3:11 a.m. by jcalton
The decks show Phyrexian Mana as more converted mana cost than they actually are.I verified this with Vault Skirge (4 rather than 2) and Phyrexian Metamorph (7 rather than 4)...I didn't see any reason to check more.
I didn't see a Forum search so I used a Google targeted search and didn't find anything. I'm skeptical this is a known bug since it's been a while since NP came out...
This problem is also happening with cards that have split mana costs.

Add to list: Mutagenic Growth shows up as 4cmc, when it is 1.

I was just about to report this when I saw this thread. Got the same problem with my deck:raging-steel deck. All cards with Phyrexian Mana symbols are reporting as multicolour and counting the CMC incorrectly.
It looks almost like the site is counting each Phyrexian Mana symbol as 2 mana (with a few small exceptions); Moltensteel Dragon, Slash Panther and Rage Extractor all show a CMC of 8, Norn's Annex shows CMC 7, and Porcelain Legionnaire shows CMC of 6.
Incidentally, clicking the CMC 6 bar in the mana curve highlights my Moltensteel Dragon in the deck description, but not the card list.

@ jcalton: do you remember which non-phyrexian mana cards had the problem?
As far as I know, the problem has only been around for a couple of days. I noticed it shortly after the Broken Mana Curve Deck Example *FIXED* problem was resolved.

Phyrexian Metamorph and Dismember both come up as 5 cmc and Birthing Pod doesn't even show up on my charts

Found one non-phyrexian. Accorder Paladin shows as 3 CMC, but costs 1W.

Any updates on the Phyrexian Mana symbol issue? My deck:raging-steel deck is still reporting the incorrect CMC, and Brooding Swarm deck isn't showing all it's cards in the Mana Curve graph. :/

Thanks yeaGO!.
For some reason on Brooding Swarm, Apostle's Blessing and Gitaxian Probe aren't even showing in the mana curve graph, not sure why. I've tried editing and saving the deck, copying it, deleting and re-adding the cards, they just don't show up.
The strange thing is Apostle's Blessing shows up in my other deck (deck:raging-steel, which has Plains included). The only difference I can find is that Brooding Swarm doesn't have any Plains in the deck, but surely that shouldn't cause any problem?
Anyway, here are the cards I've seen that are reporting the wrong CMC:
- Showing a 2 CMC: Surgical Extraction.
- Showing a 3 CMC: Corrosive Gale.
- Showing a 4 CMC: Cathedral Membrane, Apostle's Blessing and Marrow Shards.
- Showing a 8 CMC: Rage Extractor, Slash Panther and Moltensteel Dragon.

Hmm... Now virtually none of the cards with Phyrexian mana symbols are showing in the Mana Curve graph.
As you say, Corrosive Gale (the X one) still shows 2CMC, but now the rest of the cards I listed aren't showing up at all in the graph.. :/

I'm not sure if this helps at all with finding the source of the problem (I assume the two graphs are linked somehow?)... Anyway, if you look at the pie chart on deck:raging-steel, if you hover over the White section it only says "1 symbols", and the Red piece says "2 symbols", while actually clicking on the relevant piece does highlight the cards correctly.

yeah I need to apply some of the logic for split mana costs to the phyrexian ones. thanks for the extra deets.

FWIW, I just saw 2 others that aren't Phyrexian mana-based, so I guess it's possibly a little bit of everything, not just Phyrexian.
We could probably just start a thread to add them all as we see them.
