Shandalar - Program Bugs

[Korath]

So to summarize:

1. Durable Handicraft's and Era of Innovation's triggers are waiting to be put on the stack (their purple cards are displayed in your battlefield)
2. You want Durable Handicraft's trigger to resolve first
3. So you click on Durable Handicraft

Correct?

If so, then this is working as designed. You can't put just some triggers on the stack and have them resolve; if a player is getting priority, all triggers that are waiting to get put on the stack get put on the stack, without a chance to do anything in between. Steps #4 and #5, which happen immediately after #3 without you having to do anything, are

4. Era of Innovation, as the only other trigger waiting to get put on the stack, gets put there
5. The top object on the stack, Era of Innovation's trigger, resolves.

Only then does Durable Handicraft's trigger resolve.

When you click on a purple trigger card displayed on the bf, you're selecting it to be put on the stack, so the first one you click on is the last to resolve. Manalink (and previous Shandalar) have trained you to do triggers backwards. Hence the extra paragraph about trigger ordering in the release post.

Alternately, if you're expecting the costs to be paid at announcement, this is still working as designed - unlike spells or abilities, these costs and similar choices are (almost) always paid at announcementresolution. The exceptions are choosing targets and declaring how effects like Bogardan Hellkite's or Verdurous Gearhulk's get divided.

(It doesn't particularly matter for this pair of cards, though: you can still decline to pay the cost of the first trigger to resolve, by clicking Cancel, and then pay the cost of the second. This should work even if you have the mana already floating in your pool.)

Ok, so that is intended for priority, just need to pay attention to prompt then
