Bug | Affectionate Indrik Trigger Invalidated VS Sparky
Sparky played Affectionate Indrik and targeted my Taborax, Hope's Demise equipped with Poet's Quill. In response, I activated the second ability of Forsworn Paladin. The trigger was fizzled for some reason. I also have a Fell Stinger, a Blood Artist, a Food Token, a Witch's Oven, a a Hive of the Eye Tyrant, and a Phyrexian Tower - but I don't think any of those counter triggered abilities or are relevant to the bug.
The log is 52MB for some reason, and it is causing the Post Idea button to hang, so I'm not posting it.

It's true that it is a may ability, but Sparky always uses the trigger to fight, even if the creature's stats are way higher than 4/4. I've played many, many games against the Green deck and Sparky never turns down an opportunity to use the ability. Maybe this is the only situation where the AI actually behaves intelligently?

The Indrik itself holds the key. Its trigger is a "may" ability, so Sparky just chose not to fight. That decision is made on resolution of the trigger.
