Describe the Bug:
I had 2 crashes with 2 different auras but similar scenarios.
1- I cast Elemental Resonance on Jackalope Herd - crash.
2- I sacrificed a creature with Undercity Informer that was about to be enchanted with Death's Approach - crash.

Which card did behave improperly?
aura mechanism?

Which update are you using? (date, name)Which type? (duel, gauntlet, sealed deck)
Manalink dev 778ccb5 version - duel

What exactly should be the correct behavior/interaction?
No crashes for sure if auras target has left battlefield.

Are any other cards possibly affected by this bug?

The same bug/crash affects also auras - Illusion creatures and similar worded abilities.
This bug with auras is the number 1 reason that causes crashes in dev version and things get worse when AI is involved as crashes happen while AI makes computations.

Fixed in commit 99888c8. It affected almost every function that depended on targeted_aura_impl() so around 200 cards.

Some corrections and additions in commit b3b6a53.
From the ones I have tested I can't find a way to fix Instill Energy.
Few may need extra work so let's keep an eye.
