What am I missing ?
Scenario is as follows:
Player A: Orb of Vulnerability and mixed troops

No. Player inventory as following.
Also Anti-Magic is not a mind spell (?)

So I've tried it in SoD, both with HD+ and without and the results are way worse. Not only did it not allow me to cast Anti-Magic on either player's dragons, but it only damaged the units of the Orb's wielder. Went then back to HotA and same effect. This is nuts. See for yourselves.

Aren't Black Dragons immune to both damage and beneficial spells. Correct me if I'm wrong, because it's been a while since I played HoMM.

Normally, they are but one of the player wields the Orb of Vulnerability which, and I quote Quote: During combat, negates all the magic resistance and natural magic immunity of all creatures on the battlefield
The case here is Orb of Vulnerability acting weird, denying MR to only one of the players, or not completely denying the magic immunity of creatures.

Orb have strange mechanic. Player 2 (without orb ) cannot use antimagic withput welding orb but he can blind enemy immune troops like golems or dragons.

Antimagic gives magic immunity, while the Orb takes the immunity away. Maybe this contradiction prevents the use of Antimagic.

I guess the system got confused or something like that. I mean, I'm confused just as much as you are.

Probably not so much a bug as a coding oversight; I'd say game checks if target's owner has orb and applies new rules accordingly instead of checking if any of both heroes has it.
I can check later if nobody does before.

I think this. The game apparently prioritizes the Orb higher than spells, in that you cannot render any stack immune to spells while the Orb is present.

A lot of unnecessary silly guesses that could be avoided if people would look for themselves before guessing.
As far as I can see, it does matter if attacker or defender holds the orb, e.g.
1) Attacker holds orbs and attacker summons fire elements. Both attacker and the defender can hurt the fire elements with fire spells.
2) Attacker holds orbs and defender summons fire elements. Only attacker can hurt the fire elements with fire spells.
3) Defender holds orbs and attacker summons fire elements. Only defender can hurt the fire elements with fire spells.
4) Defender holds orbs and defender summons fire elements. Only defender can hurt the fire elements with fire spells.
The scenario in this thread is scenario 3, so my guess is that only our opponent could cast Anti-Magic on his own Black Dragons if he had any.
Had your opponent attacked you on the other hand, it would be scenario 1, in which case I believe you would have been able to cast anti-magic on your Black Dragons.
This was only 5 minutes testing, so there may be more to it than that.
Edit: Sorry, I just realized you were attacked, and I see it is probably scenario 2 in stead of 1 since it's defenders creatures, not attackers, which likely means no matter what you have to hold the orb yourself to be able to cast spells on your Black Dragons.

came across this bug in my recent game. i had orb of vulnerability and phoenixes in my army. my opponent had phoenixes and magic elementals. he cast armageddon which was powerful enough to kill every troop on the battlefield. however, only my troops died while his remained untouched. wtf? this sort of defies the purpose of this artifact, doesn't it?

Did he have the sword Armageddon's Blade? The orb only negates natural immunity, so that would render the troops immune.

nope, this was not during a campaign, just a normal PvP game, where armageddon's blade is disabled (and no, he didn't have it).

Are You sure? At the moment, many cheaters have divorced in PvP games. By the way, Armageddon's Blade can be easily obtained from Warrior's Tomb.

Yes, I'm sure. It was all done in a test environment. Too bad the gifs are no longer hosted. I can recreate the test if you'd like and this time I'll film it.
