Broken Cruel Witness Surveil Leading to Frozen Game (Illegal Blocks)
Steps to Reproduce:
- My opponent attacked me with a Voldaren Epicure among others.
- I blocked the Epicure with my Kessig Wolfrider.
- The opponent cast Sure Strike on their Epicure.
- I cast Rending Flame on their Epicure in Response, which triggers my Cruel Witness.
- The surveil interface from the Cruel Witness trigger shows a face-down card and cannot be interacted with (see Screenshot 1).
- After clicking "Done", the game states "Illegal blocks. Try again" and does not advance, nor allow any interaction. Restarting Arena resumed the game.

1. I cast lantern's lift (lantern bearer's disturb side) from the graveyard targeting my repository skaab.
2. This put two cruel witness triggers on the stack
3. I put a land into my graveyard for the first one but the second one just showed a face down card I couldn't interact with so I clicked done as it's the only thing I could do.
4. Result was the pictured state where the triggers are still on the stack and I can't interact with anything.
5. As you can see, I had lethal in the air at the time meaning the bug cost me this game (game 3 of quick draft, currently 2-0). -
