[wykfff]

When using Opposition Agent's ability, I can't control the opponent to cast Panglacial Wurm from opponent's library.

This is not a bug. First ruling of Panglacial Wurm states, “Panglacial Wurm's ability works only while you're searching your own library. The effect that caused you to search needs to say “search” and “library,” and you need to be looking through your own library for this to work.”

I control my opponent search his own library, instead of I search his library. Opponent is searching his own library under my control, Panglacial Wurm's ability should work

Just because you’re controlling your opponent and taking over the search of his library, it’s still his library, not yours.

My opponent is searching his own library, so he can cast Panglacial Wurm.
Opposition Agent make me control my opponent while they’re searching their library.
My opponent can cast it. My opponent under my control should still cast it.

Q:En respuesta al Demonic Tutor de mi oponente, lanzo un Opposition Agent. Mientras lo controlo mientras busca, encuentro un Panglacial Wurm. ¿Puedo lanzarla? Si puedo, ¿quién paga el maná y quién lo recibe? ¿Termina exiliado bajo mi Opposition Agent?
A:
Puedes hacer que tu oponente lance la Wurm, pero solo si tiene suficiente maná disponible, y al final se queda la Wurm. La única forma de conseguir la Wurm “debajo” de tu Opposition Agent es si eliges la Wurm para que la encuentre el Demonic Tutor.

Hmmm…maybe you are right. But if you cast it, they will get the Wurm. Why would you want to do this?

Maybe controling my opponent makes me happy, XD, lol

Simply coding panglacial wurm to work at all was a big hurdle for the team. Bugs associated with it have been a thing for at least a decade.

 

[ManaDrainThis]

Yeah this def seems like a fringe case.

 

[silasary]

Definitely a bug, but it's probably low-priority

 

[ManaDrainThis]

Yeah this will probably get the Wall of Roots “no fix planned” treatment.

Correct - no fix planned here.
