Hello,

I was playing a warlock, warlock, sacrificial priest and warlock team.  
All the warlocks were dead, and the sacrificial priest used the sacrifice ability on himself.  
This triggered the 30% chance to summon abhorath, who appeared in slot 1.

Yet I still lost, as you can see in the following screenshot:

I was expecting the fight to continue, as I still had 1 card…

On a funny side note, I also had it happen that sacrificing myself (last guy standing) also killed all the other player’s cards, and I won with no cards left 🙂

Nothing new I’m afraid, although only now I realized this bug is about half a year old…

> When I noticed this, it was happening to the AI opponent (in the Arena), but regardless, it didn’t feel quite right that the mechanic worked this way. I was since able to reproduce it in Explore mode (see screenshot below). \_ The enemy was down to the last man standing, who was the mighty and flamboyant Sacrificial Priest. Low on life and outnumbered, he knew the end was nigh. Desperate times call for desperate measures, and so the brave elder made sure his swansong would be a sight to behold… …
