Spartacus NOT WORKING. Wow...
EA
The point of spartacus and defensive end was to lessen the amount of cancer spell decks (especially prof brainstorm and solar flare)
Defensive end really shook the meta.
Spartacus, on the ...

Disappointed. Was hoping he'd work like the zombie Jester. Will have to give him a go still though not as shiny.

@jaydabbler and I'm just playing devil's advocate here, just spitballin'.... while i understand jester is an effect of the card and not from them playing tricks, and while i wholeheartedly agree that changing the mechanics would break other cards; i do feel sportacus is outclassed by both jestster in damaging the hero conditions, and def end (especially with gargologists) in the defending against tricks conditions.
I think the easiest fix would be putting 1 shield on him. This would at least defend a bit against common tricks giving a bit more longevity.
While the card has brought me a little success, the main thing I've found it useful for is taking the hit for another card I've played. That's still a great use, but there are better 3 cost cards to run, imo. There's nothing about it that makes me value it over BeP, for sure.
Not only that, but most importantly... with a shield he would actually match his design!

Hey all,
Just wanted to let you know that this is working as designed. The reason is that the trick does its effect, and then Spartacus isn't alive any longer to do its damage.
Hope that helps 🙂

Then what about the jester? when i used a Berry Blast on it once to kill it i still took damage seeing as it should go like this Trick>Effect>Jester/Sportacus it should have killed him without me taking damage but i still did and seeing as the effect of both of these are just about 1-1 they should work exactly the same

You can add Punish-Shroom to the same list.
There doesn't seem to be any consistency.
Why does a Jester do its damage after it's dead?
Why does a Punish Shroom do its damage after it's dead?

While I'd like to see consistency, but understand it's working as intended, EA may need to tweak ingame notes to help avoid confusion/disapointment/frustration by players.
