Noticed something strange in the last few days.I've Been playing pvp for two years almost every chance I can get. Recently I saw a few universal traps and school shields still on me after getting hit with according spells? What is going on? Has anyone else encountered this anomaly?

This is a bug, many notify this as a bug, or know the true meaning behind this. This is to prevent overpowerment and simple one hit kills so often. So here is a basic description/explanation of how it works:

1. You cannot stack the same card, but if it is a different version or the same card, it will work. [Ex: One feint from your deck is placed on them, then you use another feint that came from the same region of the deck will not work. However, use a normal feint from your deck that you set up, then a amulet feint, and a treasure card feint, a pet's feint, and they all work together and stack up properly.]

2. Regarding this, that does not mean that if you use a Elemental trap, then a fire trap, will not stack up. They will, if it is a different spell or the same spell except all copies of it came from different sections of the deck. So I am hoping this helped and it was what you were wondering.

]Here's the run down, had spirit armor on and opponent casts Ice trap then I cast ice shield and when he hits the trap is activated but the shield is not affected. This is one example of the strange observations I have made. In another example everything activated except a universal trap that was not double stacked. Might be isolated incidents but strange none the less

I would assume it didn't activate the shield because of the spirit armor.

As for the universal trap. Something I noticed when using feints, if your opponent also casts feint, it does not stack, therefore when you hit them you get the 30% damage trap. Your next hit will trigger the 70%.
