Describe the bug:
Mind Bend is cast at interrupt speed, and can target spells as well as permanents.

Which update are you using? (date, name)Which type? (duel, gauntlet, sealed deck)
Dev 05dd6cf (2017 Oct 2).

What exactly should be the correct behavior/interaction?
It was always an instant, even though interrupts still existed at its first printing in Mirage. And it can only target permanents.

Marked as interrupt in manalink.csv - card type.
- Another bug is that it will prompt the controller of the targeted permanent or spell= (original bug) to select what to change.
- Still it doesn't interact correct with lands never changes the land type.
However AI now casts it and uses both types (finally after so many years) although it highly prefers to target lands which though don't change so it's useless.

Fixed all except the change basic land type issue of course in commit 9afbb72 and forbid AI to target lands to avoid AI using it in vain.
But I think we have another post about this so I am closing the current one:
10/4/2004 It can be used to change a land’s type from one basic land type to another. For example, Forest can be changed to Island so it produces blue mana. It doesn’t change the name of any permanent.
