BUG 'Essence Capture' does not counter some creatures
MTG Arena does - sometimes - not support the Card mechanic of Card "Essence Capture" correctly.
"Counter target creature spell" -> when an opponent casts any creature spells, the player could counter that by playing as Instant "Essence Capture", right?
So, (BUG") in some cases, counterung a creature spell of opponent does not work. BUT SHOULD WORK
Reportedly happend with "Squee, Dubious Monarch" - See image ... and many other legendary and not legendary creatures , such as "Voda Sea Scavanger".
MTG Arena indicates instead that the Card would not be a valid Target ("Are you Sure ...") but there was in no case any side condition not allowing to target that casted creature spell card... Am i correct?

Or more likely, a creature spell paid for with Cavern of Souls. Lier is also still in Standard.

Since last update of Magic Arena the card "essence capture" is not working anymore. Now I need to choose a target creature spell for countering. When I choose the create spell the oponent has played, I am getting asked "Are you sure?" When I am clicking "Yes" I can choose one of my creatures to receive a +1/+1 counter. My creature is receiving a counter but the oponent's creature spell is not countered. This is not a product suggestion, this is a BUG.

You control Lier, Disciple of the Drowned. Lier's first ability says "Spells can't be countered".
