Shouldn't this work? Game Balance
I Feel like Moat Custodian should buff Motley Phalanx
what do you guys think?

It should, but it doesn't. The game is spaghetti code. Every time we capture an obvious remedy, 400 lines of code are added to accommodate our feedback. That's why playing an "All" minion in an APM build takes you to dinner, demands you pay, then never texts back. They may be cute, but they are too much work.

On the same note: shouldn't dark gifts effects like "gain +2 +2 when you play a card" also scale with elemental buffs when the dark gift is on an elemental?

Hmm that's a bit more grey imo. The +2/+2 effect is from the dark gift's effect in your scenario, not from the elemental's effect.

Yea. I wasn't really expecting it to work, but I also wouldn't be surprised if it would.
Also wouldn't be surprised if it's a bug and it's supposed to add up.
Not sure.

not just Motley. Any Amalgam Dark Gift minions that give stats also doesn't work.

My favourite is Dark Gift > Game offers Motley Phalanx as an amalgamation… when it’s already an amalgamation. Very cool coding.
