In Progress Pick Your Poison Bug

[Coffee_Voidwalker]

Had Pick your Poison bug on me 3 different games now, select mode but wont let you submit. I had the same problem with Abrade recently which I heard other people had a problem with. Funny thing is my next game after being smashed by an Emrakul, Pick Your Poison fired off no problem. Then my next 3 games it bugged out, multiple turns, just couldnt cast it at all, even waited 30+ seconds for it to catch up, still nothing.

I've had MTGO for like 3 days, spent a little bit of money to get started with a CrabVine Modern deck and this is the typical Wotc shenanigans I should have expected. Thanks for wasting my tickets...

Cast to Sac Emrakul, Fail
Cast to Sac Amulet, Fail
Cast to Sac Urza's Saga, Fail

Yes, there is a known intermittent problem with modal spells. (If you can find the other posts, Upvote them.)
For Daybreak to investigate, they will need actual Game numbers. Game # is 9 digits long and starts with an 8.

BTW, WOTC is no longer in charge of MTGO. It has been turned over to Daybreak Games.

But Shenanigans, I like! Great card! ;^)

Firedrake is correct a game# makes it much easier for the devs to take a look at any problem that gets reported, and they can be found in the Game History section of the options menu within the client.

Also, here is the other thread in question:

Firedrake is correct

Hey! I finally got one right!

I tried to post in that thread but it said I have insufficient privileges to reply, also I don't have screen shots but I have Game numbers of a couple games where I spend 30+ seconds on my clock trying to cast Pick your Poison before giving up and losing terribly lol but the weird thing is I have multiple other games where Pick your Poison fires off just fine.

Game #879018368 Turn 3 I try to cast Pick your Poison to sacrifice an Artifact, They get an Emrakul in play, then Turn 4 I try to make them Sacrifice a creature with flying. Both were grayed out like the screenshots other people have shared.

Game #879040564 Turn 3 I try to cast Pick your Poison to sacrifice an Enchantment, Urza's Saga being the only target, Their turn 3 they end up with 2 Amulets and a One Ring and run away from there lol feels bad re-watching these

That seems to be the issue with this problem, it's intermittent, and what causes it to start/stop seems to be hard to track down or reproduce.

This is due to be fixed with the next downtime.

In the meantime, there is a workaround: If presented with multiple lines of "Cast" options when you click the card to cast, choose the bottom-most option.
