I was playing seasonal mode today. My opponent planted Arnaghad down. I played Griffin Witcher down next and, as expected, saw him smoked. Arnaghad took no damage though. The same thing happened when I played Eskel.
Is this another example of the game just being really bad at designing rules for how cards play out?
I.e. taken literally, the deal should be that when I play my card, it gets smoked but Arnaghad also loses power because it took damage from my unit.
Do the devs really mean to say with Arnaghad: "Deal damage equal to Arnaghad's power to any unit played by your opponent and so long as that unit is still on the board after Arnaghad has dealt damage to it, deal damage equal to its power to Arnaghad"? I know that that would be hard to fit onto the card, but at least it's truthful about the way that the card plays out.
I know that GWENT cards can sometimes act in unexpected ways, ways that the player doesn't like. That can sometimes be due to the player naively reading the card's information. That's okay. But many times the text is just badly or misleadingly or incorrectly worded.
If you look at the latest patch notes, linked to below, you'll see a whole host of rephrasing of cards' text, in the "Game fixes" section.
That suggests that the game has done a bad job wording how these cards work or are supposed to work.
My Arnaghad comments would also apply to those Nor duelling units as well, I think.
