Thanks spirolone! However, it turned out it may have been my fault because I forgot a " in the new pool.
I'll report more results as soon as I can.
EDIT: Confirmed, it was my fault. At the moment I'm trying to code bestow by using awaken as a template. Assuming I can make it work, there's at least one approximation to take into account: according to the rules, cards like AEther Storm should still allow to cast bestow cards as Auras, but in Duels that will be impossible I'm afraid.
EDIT 2: Here's my bestow mechanic for Magic Duels in the form of

It seems that in Magic Duels, the EffectDC chests indexed with a string rather than a number are accessible from all abilities. This would make LinkedDC obsolete, but there are cards that still use it, so maybe I'm missing something... anyway, when you pay the bestow cost, delayed trigger #1 is set, which will transform the card into an Aura (changes don't appear on the stack but I think it's just a visual problem, I should test with a "counter target creature spell" and see if it's still a creature) and set delayed trigger #2, which will be fired when the Aura becomes unattached, putting an end to delayed trigger #1 through a LinkedDC flag. As I stated before, this won't work properly with cards like AEther Storm, but I think it's a minor approximation.
Note: I changed my TFM_RemoveCardType function so that it doesn't call ClearAllOfType, because type changes should be made on layer 4A while subtype changes should be made on layer 4B. Ephara was working even by doing everything on 4B, but I want to adhere to the rules so that we don't find unexpected bugs in the future.
