Fixes Devour counter placement when a live enclosing event amount is present. The synthesized continuation now reads the immediate sacrifice choice count directly, so Mycoloth's Devour 2 scales correctly before counter doublers apply.\n\nRegression coverage includes the reported shape: outer amount 1, two sacrifices, Devour 2, and a counter doubler produces 8 counters; an empty choice remains 0.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved Devour calculations to use the count from the immediately preceding sacrifice effect.
    • Corrected Devour behavior when surrounding events contain their own amounts.
    • Improved accuracy for multiplied counts and continuation effects.
    • Preserved zero-count behavior when no cards are selected.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for multiplied counts, continuation scenarios, enclosing event amounts, and empty selections to help prevent calculation regressions.

Review Change Stack

Warning

Review limit reached

@matthewevans, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 24 minutes

Limit details: You’ve used all 2 included reviews currently available under your plan.

You've used all free OSS reviews for now. Wait for the free limit to reset to keep reviewing this public repository.

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

Adds coverage for selected-sacrifice counts, counter doubling, unrelated event amounts, and empty sacrifices.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 1c597

The PR corrects Devour counter scaling and adds regression coverage, but an inline engine comment still cites an incorrect rules reference that could mislead future maintenance. The change is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to correct that documentation.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Replace the incorrect CR citation.

CR 608.2c defines following a resolving spell or ability’s instructions in the order written. It does not define a preceding effect count or event-context shadowing. CR 702.82a-b defines the Devour sacrifice count, if this behavior is documented at the Devour-specific synthesis site. (media.wizards.com)

Keep this generic resolver comment implementation-focused, and add the verified Devour citation at the rules-specific consumer.

Proposed comment change
-        // CR 608.2c: Reads the preceding resolution-local choice count directly;
-        // unlike EventContextAmount, an enclosing trigger cannot shadow it.
+        // Read the preceding continuation-local effect count directly.
+        // An unavailable count resolves to zero.

Based on learnings: cite CR 608.2c only when documenting resolution of written instructions “in order,” not for this count lookup.

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.
