Fertilid not working on Sparky
Card: Fertilid (Creature, Set: IKO)
Bug: Activation ability of creature card is not triggering.
Steps: 1. Activate the ability of Fertilid. 2. Target the opponent (e.g., Sparky).
Actual result: Opponent does not put a basic land into play. I hear the sound effect for the shuffle. Note: Opponent has draw card and puts a basic land onto the battlefield.
Expected result: Opponent should search the library, put a tapped land onto the battlefield.
No known workaround.
I'm on a PC, using version 2023.24.50.4520.995415

While the search is mandatory, finding a basic land is not, since there is no way to verify, that there is such a card still in the deck. (Yes, Sparky has a lot of basics, but the wisp is not required to find one). That's why there's a shuffle. Technically, that is a possible and legal play by Sparky.
