[not a bug]Secluded Steppe - Cycling - Cannot activate it

Hi,

first thanks for Manalink and keeping Manalink 3.0 updated. I played to it several years ago on another computer (and regular MTG before that), and I am amazed I could download the new version and keep it running on a new computer! I see also that there are a massive loads of new cards, and this was certainly a fair job to put them all within. Thanks about that, and well done.

Now about Secluded Steppe. I am fairly new to these new cards and mecanics, what I read however on the card, is that I may bury it, then proceed with 1 white mana to draw a new card.

Just that if I understood it right (maybie not), never can I bury it from my hand in my turn, either the game put it as a land on my board, or after I put another land, I cannot exchange this with another card draw, it becomes grey.

Sorry me, if I did not get the mecanic, perhaps this land needs to be in my graveyard before I can use Cycling, then I need 8 cards in my hand at the end of my turn to discard it, or my opponent needs to destroy it with a land destroying card. Or perhaps I need to activate something within the program, but I have not seen it.

So is this really a bug, I dunno. Thanks for reading, cheers, and good continuation to the crew.

...Also if this is really a bug, this is not reaaally bad, I can do with it. Everything is already here, I may have fun now with a complete deck of knights, amazing. I am that kind of guy that played black and is fully converted to white now, how's that?

Describe the Bug:
Secluded Steppe Cycling seems not working, might work if the card is in the graveyard though (not tested).

Which card did behave improperly ?
Secluded Steppe

Which update are you using?(date,name)Which type(Duel,Gauntlet,Sealed Deck)
Manalink 2015/5/20: Duel, Gauntlet

What exactly should be the correct behavior/interaction ?
Secluded Steppe Cycling working right when the card is in the hand, if this was the intent of the card.

Works correctly, but you may not know how to use it.

Whenever there is a way to play a card other than normally cast it, such as cycling, the Rules Engine card is used. When you draw Secluded Steppe and have a W available you will see the name of the Rules Engine card in play turn from white to yellow (just as any card that becomes activatable does). If you click it you will get a menu that includes 'activate Secluded Steppe' (or something similar). If you click on that you will be asked for a W, and when you pay it Secluded Steppe will be discarded and another card drawn.
