Bug Report: Ward still counters targeting spell, despite Tishana's Tidebinder countering the ward ability
Opponent had a [[phyrexian fleshgorger]] on board.
On my turn, I cast [[Over the Edge]] on the Fleshgorger and it's ward trigger goes on the stack. I cast [[Tishana's Tidebinder]] in response. Tidebinder resolves and her ETB ability targets the ward ability.
In-game, the Fleshgorger did not get destroyed. Over the Edge seemed to fizzle, but the game showed the surviving Fleshgorger without any abilities.
I suspect the ward ability still countered [[Over the Edge]], despite the ward ability being countered by [[Tishana's Tidebinder]]. I believe this is a bug.

the workaround is to just cast two tidebinders so that your opponent can never know which one targeted what permanent. masterful gambit.
