Nissa's Zendikon
[Platform: PC]
Nissa's Zendikon appears to be bugged, and it cost me my draft.
First problem: In an earlier game of this draft, I manually tapped 4 of my 5 lands, then cast Nissa's Zendikon targeting the untapped land. From there I assumed autopay would use the floating mana, so I clicked autopay instead of manually selecting the mana in my pool. Instead it tapped the targeted land and left 1 mana in my pool. The remaining mana was snow mana, which must be the reason for this behavior. But it's mind boggling to think the game would prioritize that.
Second problem: In the final game, I cast it targeting a land and had more than 4 lands. I decided to wait for autopay to come up so I could use that carefully, considering I had an unexpected result previously. I thought I had learned my lesson. But this time autopay didn't appear, and there was no pause of any kind. It immediately tapped 4 lands, including the one I targeted. I can't even think of a reason why it would do that in this case. Did I have the snow land in play again? Even that shouldn't explain it. I was left dead on board without a blocker, and it ended my draft run.
I feel justified in asking for a refund for that second one.

I had the exact same bug with this card, except I used normal lands and no snow lands. The card seems bugged for all lands.
I might also add, that if you want to manually pay for it, it wont let you. It will always say that the autotaper changed the solution and you can either except it or cancel the spell. If you except it the new autotaper solution is always that it taps the land you casted Nissa's Zendikon on.
