Assimilate essence not working on creatures
I tried using assimilate essence on “cleanup crew” which is in fact a creature. I was prompted with the “are you sure you want to target cleanup crew with assimilate essence” I double checked to see if it was in fact a creature. It wasn’t an enchantment creature or anything that might have confused the system. And I clicked yes because it should have worked and to my surprise it had absolutely no effect. Please fix this so I can effectively use my deck.

Assimilate Essence would normally work to counter Cleanup Crew. The promt comes up, if there is something that would make the spell not work, like ward for a creature you are targeting. Since it is a counterspell, the most likely culprit for the promt is Lier. If that guy is on the field, wether you or your opponent controls him, counterspells cannot counter anything, as per his card text.
