[fixed/closed]Melek, Izzet Paragon no/bad cast from top
Posted: 05 May 2014, 12:22Describe the Bug:
If a player controlling Melek, Izzet Paragon attempts to cast an instant or sorcery card from the top of his/her library, one of the following things happens:
1) The player is asked to pay (the correct amount of) mana for the spell, but after the cost has been paid, nothing happens. No prompt asking for a target, spell doesn't go the graveyard, just nada. This happens when there's no instant or sorcery card directly beneath the top card that has been attempted to cast.
2) The player is asked to pay (the correct amount of) mana for the spell, but after the cost has been paid, the instant/sorcery spell directly beneath that card is put onto the stack (and copied if Melek is clicked).
Furthermore, spells with
in their mana cost don't ask for to be paid. Tested with Repeal, though this could be due to the fact that Repeal asks for a target before the "pay X" prompt pops up
Lastly, Melek is highlit when an instant/sorcery is cast from the top of Melek's controller's library. It can be clicked to copy the cast spell, but doesn't enforce the copying process, so the copying becomes optional instead of mandatory.
Which card did behave improperly ?
Melek, Izzet Paragon
Which update are you using?(date,name)Which type(Duel,Gauntlet,Sealed Deck)
April 17 2014, duel
What exactly should be the correct behavior/interaction ?
The player casts the top card of his/her library when using Melek's "play from top" ability, not the card beneath that card.
X costs can be paid when casting instants/sorceries from the top of Melek's controller's library.
Melek's copying trigger is mandatory.
Are any other cards possibly affected by this bug ?
