Works for me.

Something wrong in my installation then or something you fixed in between?

The card's hidden behind the stack window. If it was still on the stack, you'd be choosing 0 cards. Try casting it yourself - it'll pause between entering the battlefield and resolving the trigger (because it's incorrectly marked as optional, which is a legitimate bug, but not the one reported here).

Optional (and cancellable) trigger fixed in 09238a7.

The interface bug in that screenshot - that the stack window doesn't close before popping up the choose-a-card window - remains. It can be fixed for this particular card by inserting

Code: Select all: if (ai_is_speculating != 1){ EXE_FN(void, 0x437E20, void)(); // force redisplay }

anywhere between targeting a player and calling new_effect_coercion(). It really belongs elsewhere, though, since there's sure to be many other cards that'll do similar things; and it's not completely clear where the best place for it is - probably at the start of show_deck(), though maybe just before its call in select_card_from_zone() would suffice.
