Tender Wildguide (original, but not Offsoring token) sometimes can’t activate
In a Bloomburrow draft and noticed that sometimes my Tender Wildguide will lose the ability to activate either of its activated abilities. The Offspring token never seems to have this issue, and can always be activated as normal, even when I can’t activate the original. I’m having trouble replicating the conditions that cause the abilities to shut off. Sometimes it seems as though I’ll have access to the abilities during the first main phase, as the card is highlighted blue, but then during the second main phase or opponent’s turn I will be unable to activate either ability and if I have no other plays priority will pass automatically. There are never any effects or permanents in play that would prevent either activation. I am playing Arena on an iPad.

I noticed that 2 lands are highlighted when I activate the original. I think that for some reason it is requiring 2 available mana in order to use the ability (but doesn't actually use the mana).
