Fix Inga and Esika
Hi, to whom this may concern
I have had some trouble with playing cards which are mana reduced with Urza, lord protector. Combined with Inga and Esika, I clearly have the 8 mana on board, I manually tried to tap my lands and creature to play Portal to Phyrexia. That’s why you see the lands tapped and the 2 creatures, the third one I had to undo. It simply won’t work. Quite frustrating when you end up losing to a game bug. Hope this will get fixed at some point.

This also happened to me, I tapped enough lands to pay for a creature, but Inga and Esika still wanted to tap 3 creatures with auto-tap to get the draw card effect. I want to be able to avoid tapping creatures for mana sometimes, but auto-tap won’t let me, and won’t use the mana in my mana pool.
One workaround is to attack first, then play the spells. But that doesn’t leave creatures un-tapped to defend.

Read Inga and Esika. The mana produced by the granted ability can only be used on CREATURE spells. You don't have the resources to cast Portal to Phyrexia, even at the reduced cost of 8.
