Talion Trigger Bugged
Playing a Premier Draft, opponent had Talion on mana value 2, however Talion was triggering when I cast Tanglespan Lookout, which is mana value 3. Talion triggered on my 2 mana value spells as usual, and did not trigger on my other spells except for Tanglespan Lookout. Later in the game, my Tanglespan Lookout was bounced to my hand and when I replayed it, Talion triggered despite still being on mana value 2.
Talion seems to be bugged.

Reading the card explains the card.

You have asked this several times and it has been answered several times.
Talion triggers when the number chosen is
a) the cost of the spell being cast,
b) the power of a creature spell being cast,
c) the toughness of a creature being cast. -

Talion triggers for power and toughness, too. Obayra's Attendants has toughness 4, so Talion triggers.

Talion is still bugged, and now has caused me to lose a winning game in Premier Draft. My opponent cast Talion, naming mana value 4. Talion then proceeded to trigger when I cast Obyra's Attendants, which have a mana value of 5. While not triggering on other 5 mana value spells, Obyra's Attendants continued to trigger Talion. This caused me to lose a game I had been winning.

You just have to read the card fully. Talion doesn't just look at mana values. He also looks at power and toughness. Tanglespan Lookout has power 2, so Talion set to 2 will trigger because of that.
