See attached image and game ID. If you try to cast Saving Grasp targeting a creature you own but don't control, that creature doesn't appear as a valid target.

Woops, my bad must've clicked on the wrong auto complete when I began typing the card name. Saving Grasp should indeed work as described.

Well, who are they? How can I let them know they miscategorized this thread?
I have asked them to provide clarification on why they marked the post as such. If they mark a post in a certain way, it is due to them testing and determining if it is, in fact a bug or not.

Well, they are wrong in this case. That's obvious. I should be able to target a Stormdrake I own that my opponent controls with Saving Grasp.

I would like some follow-up about this. Do they not understand the intended behavior of the card Saving Grasp or something?

Per the QA team.
Tag applied: Not a bug

The user cannot target the Volatile Stormdrake because of the keyword Hexproof given by Scion of Draco. Card text for Scion of Draco reads as follows: Each creature you control has vigilance if it’s white, hexproof if it’s blue, lifelink if it’s black, first strike if it’s red, and trample if it’s green.
