Description states equipped champion takes 5 damage at start of it's turn. However if equipped on an opposing champion the damage is still only dealt at start of the next Blade of the Snake owner's turn therefore contradicting the description. Recreated with a Blade granted by Mandate from Sheoul onto an opposing Skeezick Whorl.
Confirmed. <do trigger="TURN_BEGIN"> <given> <isControllersTurn target="%SOURCE"/> <do> <damage damageType="LOSS_OF_LIFE" damageSource="ABILITY" target="%SOURCE" damage="5"/> </do> </given> </do> The problem is the line in bold. It is currently tracking the equipment's controller's turn, because %SOURCE is the equipment. Instead, it should read: <isControllersTurn target="%EFFECT_IDOL"/>
It seems Entropic Clasp has the same problem where it says "at end of it's turn" but instead always works at the end of it's owner's turn.
