It is a generic bug that has been faced several times but maybe never totally fixed.

Dust to Dust : if one of the 2 target artifacts is somehow removed from the battlefield, the spell doesn't fizzle (even if it should) due to the lack of valid targets and still exiles the remaining artifact.

Oblivion Ring & co : if there are no legal permanents on my side to be affected by those enchantments (maybe because I have sacrified or bounced all of my permanents), the AI should be forced to target its own permanents including Oblivion Ring, but it never does.
EG: IN my game I have bolted my own kird ape, my only permanent except lands, so that the AI would have been forced to exile its own jayemdae tome, but it didn't: it just didn't choose any target for its spell.

Faith's Fetters: the AI keeps playing that card on my lands, to gain 4 life points!

[stassy]

confirmed for all

[Gargaroz]

The first isn't a bug at all, as a spell "fizzles" only if ALL its targets become invalid.
The Oblivion Ring bug is fixed. Please give me a list of similar cards so I could fix them all.
For Faith's Fetters bug you'll need to wait, as coding "enchant permanent" is a real pain in C.

Now I may ony think to Journey to Nowhere and Oubliette but nothing else.
About the first one, imho it is a bug but maybe I'm thinking with the old rules that I used when I was still playing the original pen & paper game.

Nope. A spell only fizzles in this way if all of its targets become invalid.

that I used when I was still playing the original pen & paper game.

erm... what?

[0rion79]

1 - Accordingly to official rule, yes: it is not a bug. Still, imho, that should be, since D2D is different than spells as Relic Crush, since it MUST have 2 valid targets.
2 - rules within Magic have changed a lot during time: I have quit the game in occasion of the rules revolution that removed interrupts and so on. We all used D2D as I have told you, in those times.

I think it was the Dark Ritual? But something made the Beacon of Immortality not work and it ended up staying on the board. Pretty strange.

[stassy]

confirmed, when you cast Beacon of Immortality on yourself and if AI has a Dark Ritual in hand, he respond by casting Dark Ritual, get 1 damage from Manabarbs and then the Beacon of Immortality stay as a permanent in the bf and the spell chain window stay open in game until the end of the turn, quite weird.

Also your savegame is just after the turn it happened, next time if you encounter a similar bug please save in the same turn and not the turn after because until we debug it it's not reproducible.

Describe the Bug:
When using Chandra, the Firebrand ultimate against Necrotic Ooze, the nontarget status will stay on the Necrotic Ooze for the rest of the game.

Which card did behave improperly ?
Chandra, the Firebrand ultimate or Necrotic Ooze

Which update are you using?(date,name)Which type(Duel,Gauntlet,Sealed Deck)
Avacyn V2

What exactly should be the correct behavior/interaction ?
When using Chandra, the Firebrand ultimate against Necrotic Ooze, the nontarget status will not stay on the Necrotic Ooze for the rest of the game and Necrotic Ooze is buried.

Are any other cards possibly affected by this bug ?
-
Savegame with Necrotic Ooze is not possible with Deadbox

[0rion79]

Now Obelisk of Alara allows to gian 5 lifes using green mana and pumps creatures with white mana

[stassy]

This was supposed to be fixed in V2, but seems to be not
In order of effect/mana requirement:
Gain life ask for 1B
Draw discard ask for 1U
Weaken creature ask for 1G
Damage player ask for 1R
Pump creature ask for 1W
Cancel crash the game

[Althuna]

Since the previous patch, I find the game gets stuck thinking sometimes, and I managed to pin point one of the causes. If the AI attacks with a Ball Lightning and you block with a Woodfall Primus, it gets stuck thinking. This seems to happen every time without fail, so there must be a bug with one (or both?) of those cards.

Hope this helps.

[stassy]

confirmed, also it's not because of the Persist ability as other Persist creature such as Murederous Redcap are not affected.

Describe the Bug:
Fetih Heath doesn't produce 2 mana when Mana Flare is on play.

Which card did behave improperly ?
Fetih Heath

Which update are you using?(date,name)Which type(Duel,Gauntlet,Sealed Deck)
ML.3.0 AvakynV2

What exactly should be the correct behavior/interaction ?
Fetih Heath produces 2 mana when tapped with Mana Flare is on play.

Are any other cards possibly affected by this bug ?
