Bug description
Something I’ve noticed over the past few days: Guardian Slime seems to be bugged. It can only be Set when summoned and only seems to take 2 tributes instead of 3. It also takes an extra turn to be tributed for Egyptian God Slime despite God Slime stating this summon condition is a Special Summon. I tested playing Ancient Chant/Card Advance/Double summon to see if I could force the extra summon for God Slime and still nothing. Possibly I’m misunderstanding a card interaction somewhere but I’ve tested this multiple times and it seems like a consistent bug.
Bug reproduction steps
-Tribute for Guardian Slime
-Can only be set, only takes 2 tributes
-Attempt to special summon Egyptian God Slime by tributing Guardian Slime
-Will make you wait a turn despite it being a special summon
-Even if you use a card like Double Summon/Ancient Chant/Card Advance, you still cannot Special Summon Egyptian Slime God the same turn you play Guardian Slime
Screenshot OR error code
N/a
Expected behavior -Guardian Slime should take 3 tributes to Summon since it is a 10 Star monster. (My mistake, I got mixed up and kept thinking it should take 3 tributes to summon it for some reason)
-Guardian Slime shouldn’t be restricted to being “Set”
-Guardian Slime should be able to be tributed immediately for Egyptian Slime God as Slime God’s effect is a Special Summon
Activate Tremendous Fire -> Special Summon Guardian Slime from hand. I can choose face-up Defense or Attack position. I’m not sure why you said you can only set.
I chose Defense position.
I tributed it for Egyptian God Slime on the same turn it was Special Summoned.
I tributed Egyptian God Slime for Winged Dragon of Ra since it was treated as 3 Tributes.
I didn’t need Ancient Chant or Double Summon since both of these are Special Summons. Guardian Slime is always treated as 2 Tributes. Nothing in its text states that would be treated as 3 or 1. The card which is treated as 1 or 3 tributes is Egyptian God Slime which also works correctly since I was able to Summon Ra by tributing it.
