[confirmed]Soul of Shandalar exile-force discard 7 hand to 6

[Nexhro]

Describe the Bug:
1) Soul of Shandalar's first activated ability correctly prompts the player to target a player and one of their creatures, but then deals 6 damage to teh targetted player.

2) Soul of Shandalar's second activated ability (exile from gy) correctly asks for targets, but then deals no damage at all.

Which card did behave improperly ?
Soul of Shandalar

Which update are you using?(date,name)Which type(Duel,Gauntlet,Sealed Deck)
CoRM15, duel

What exactly should be the correct behavior/interaction ?
In either case, Soul of Shandalar deals 3 damage to the targetted player and 3 damage to the targetted creature.

Are any other cards possibly affected by this bug ?
Bug 2 might be a general issue with the M15 Souls cycle.

For #1, note that it does 6 damage to targeted player and 0 to targeted creature.

Fixed in 4e2d041

[Nexhro]

Bug 1 is solved as of CoRM15 mini2.

Bug 2 still occurs - no damage at all when Soul's exile ability resolves.

Also, if its exile ability is activated during its owner's turn, that player's maximum hand size is reduced to 6 until the beginning of his/her next turn.

Fixed bug 2 in b3d1dab

[BAgate]

If exile ability is used during owner's turn then max hand size is still reduced to 6 for that turn only.

The decrease hand issue has already been fixed in dev.
Now it doesn't deal damage if activated from grave.
I tried a lot to no avail. Unaltered by me code:
