Conclave Mentor and Cleric of Life Interaction
There are two interrelated bugs involving Cleric of Life’s Bond and Conclave Mentor. First, when a Cleric of Life is on the battlefield and you play Conclave Mentor, the Cleric of Life does not always gain life, despite stating that “Whenever another Cleric enters the battlefield under your control, you gain 1 life.” Second, the Conclave Mentor, when life is gained, seems to negate any addition of +1/+1 counters.
I saw this previously, but figured I was a fluke. But today, had a very clear situation: one Cleric of Life on the Board, played a Conclave Mentor. Triggered the gaining of life, but not the additional token, despite that being the first time life was gained during that turn (i.e., it’s not a consequence of “Whenever you gain life for the first time each turn…”). On a subsequent turn, played another Cleric of Life, which seemed to have no effect whatsoever, despite clear text to the contrary.
I notice that people have posted variations of this bug for over a year now. Please fix.

This is a Bug:
Florian, Voldaren Scion exiled Cleric of Life's Bond, and Cleric of Life's Bond was then cast.
During end step, Dogged Pursuit triggered, opponent lost 1 life I gained 1 life, but Cleric of Life's Bond didn't trigger on the life gain, so no +1/+1 was added. Opponent had no creatures or spells that would prevent it.
