Confirmed Soulfire Eruption is complete broken

So recently I cast Soulfire Eruption for the first time. I targetted 6 creatures and 3 players.

-The cards were exiled 1 by 1 as intended

-However rather than dealing damage to the creatures/players 1 by 1 as expected, it revealed a card, then I got to choose the targets. Which I'm sure is wrong.

-Then it got weirder and 1) wouldn't let me target any of the players, and 2) most of the creatures weren't even targetable, it seemed completely random which ones were. Sometimes it seems like only Player A's creature could be targeted, sometimes only Player B's, sometimes only 1 creaure.

I've seen bugged cards, but until now I'd not seen a card that had functioned this wrongly! Hope it gets fixed.

Ok, I actually just cast it again in the same game and it was even worse this time.

I targetted a 7 toughness creature with a 7 mana revealed spell and it didn't do any damage to it, then I revealed 2 Eldrazi and it didn't even let me target anything but somehow automatically killed a 2 toughness creature that I didn't click on.

I think this may be a case of the interface for resolving Soulfire Eruption being fairly unique, but the card functions fine in testing. I do wish the log told you what card was revealed for each target though for better clarity.

Step 1: Select your targets (lets assume 5 for this example) and cast Soulfire Eruption
Step 2: Choose a target, that hasn't been chosen already.
Step 3: Soulfire Eruption exiles the top card of your library and deals damage to the last chosen target equal to the exiled spells mana value.
Step 4: Go back to Step 2 until there are no more targets to choose from.
Step 5: Soulfire Eruption finishes resolving, all creatures dealt lethal damage will now die to state based actions, an you will have five cards in exile available to play until the end of your next turn.

Yes I think I was playing it wrong the first time thanks to the confusing interface being unintuitive, but the second time was a mess with creatures died that I didn't even click on
