wotc will forever become more and more braindead, hire some real programmers instead of gen alpha ****** toilet animation lovers

It also happens to me, timer fuses down while still selecting the opponent as target of grapeshot. I guess that if not changing the timer, targeting the opponent by default instead of the player could be a simple solution

I too play Storm (Grapeshot & Tendrils of Agony) in an Invasion of Alara + Displacer Kitten deck. The stack stacks high with my shenanigans, including often getting both Tendrils of Agony and Grapeshot on the stack. Both of which start by **you** **choosing** a target.

However, I've found that when a timer runs out and the game starts "quick-playing" the stack (and ignoring a bunch of targeted or user-input stuff), it buggers-up badly and "randomizes" the targets for the new copies of Storm, **ignoring** your original targeting directive(s).

In my opinion, if the original target [e.g., your opponent's face] when casting Grapeshot or Tendrils of Agony or other such targeted Storm cards is still a legal target and you run out of time, it should take the original directive as the **DEFAULT** target for all subsequent "Storm" copies if you time/rope out.

**If** the original target [e.g. a creature] is **no longer** a valid target, then I'm relatively fine with randomizing the other target(s). But, really it should **almost never** target **your own face** or **your own creatures/planeswalkers** unless there is literally **no other legal target.**

Like why on God's green Earth would I ever nuke my own face or my own board of creatures rather than A) My opponent's face [winning the game, or getting closer to winning the game] -or- B) my opponent's board of creatures [eliminating defenders or offensive threats]?

There is almost **no circumstance** under which I'd willingly/intentionally nuke my own face with either Grapeshot or Tendrils or Agony.

It's just ... a **beyond stupid** decision by the algorithm. Please, fix it.
