Invoke the winds failed to take control of equipped Cloudsteel Kirin.
My opponent was at negative life. I cast Invoke the Winds (Gain control of target artifact or creature. Untap it.) on my opponents equipped Cloudsteel Kirin (Flying. Equipped creature has flying and "You can't lose the game and your opponents can't win the game."). Note: I targeted the Cloudsteel Kirin, not the creature to which it was attached. The spell fizzled, as if Cloudsteel Kirin was an invalid target. My opponent did not interact with the resolution of the spell. I understand that, while equipped, Cloudsteel Kirin is not a creature, but it is still an artifact. I believe this to be a bug. I lost the game because of it. I had no other way remaining in my deck to interact with his equipped creature and died to decking with my opponent still at negative life. If I'm correct about this interaction being a bug, I would like a refund for that sealed pool. Thank you for your help.

exactly the same thing just happened to me in a premier draft less than five min ago. i invoked my opponents' cloudsteel and nothing happened. cloudsteel was attached to an enchanted mountain creature. the following turn i reduced opponent to -1 life...
see attached. pls refund my 1500 gems for draft as this bug caused me to lose a game i would have otherwise won. thank you. have a good day.
