Client did not pass priority before end step vs Denethor, Ruling Steward
My opponent traded in combat, then in their second main phase played [Denethor, Ruling Steward], then played another creature. I let the second creature resolve, with the intention of killing Denethor before moving to the end step, to avoid the "at the beginning of your end step" trigger. However, the client immediately passed priority to the end step and I had no opportunity to cast my instant speed removal. My opponent got their 1/1 token and I ended up losing the game in my sealed event :(

This issue is very important to me. Not everyone is prepared to just drop into full control as opponents are going to end step. Because of this, end step triggers are free against people who don't full control. It happens to me all the time in my Jadar deck. I play him in second main, and hit pass to end and before my opponent gets to respond, it gives me my zombie. While that's good for my winrate, it's not true to the game of MtG. I really hope this problem can get fixed.

As an addendum, I had a similar issue with the trigger of Faramir, Field Commander.
When I drew the Flash Samwise (with the mana to cast it) from it at the end of my turn, I wasn't given priority to cast Samwise.

This occurred during a draft match. Opponent was on 3 life, and I had Denethor, Ruling Steward in play along with 2 other creatures and 6 untapped mana.
During my second main phase I sacrificed both other creatures to Denethor's ability, at which point the game moved to Endstep (since I had no other spells to cast/abilities to activate).
At the beginning of the endstep, Denethor's ability went on the stack and created a token. However, I was not given priority to sacrifice the token before my opponent untapped despite having 2 open mana and Denethor in play.
