If you try to cast and then pay mana it doesn't get destroyed.If you tap and float the mana in pool then the land gets destroyed and Spreading Algae goes & returns from graveyard to hand as it should.

It'll trigger for a non-tapping activation of the land it's attached to, too - try it on a manland with a Blanket of Night or Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth on the bf (so it's a targetable swamp). And it won't trigger if it's attached to a land creature and the creature attacks, or if something else like an Icy Manipulator or Sands of Time taps the land.

Problem is that it's trying to use TRIGGER_TAP_CARD, which nothing else listens for and which doesn't really work; it gets dispatched only at the very end of normal activation, and is one of (many) steps that gets skipped in the abbreviated activation sequence that gets run while paying mana.

It won't be put in the graveyard if the land it's enchanting stops being a swamp (or even a land), either, but that affects essentially all Manalink auras, so maybe unfair to mention.

Made it listen for EVENT_TAP_CARD like Blight et al. instead in 539fe15.
