Etali Primal Conqueror ETB fails
quite often since before MH3 if you cast Etali Primal Conqueror, his ETB ability, grabs 2 non-land spells but for some reason you are not allowed to cast anything, the cards are just blacked out and say you cannot cast this.
steps to recreate
1. in Brawl mode cast Etali primal conqueror
2. on PC
3. when Etali PC ETB's his ability will grab a Planeswalker and a non-creature spell and i cant cast them. Any creature spell can still be cast. (Etalis ability states you may cast any NON-LAND CARD WITHOUT PLAYING MANA COST)
4. I expect Etalis ability to let me cast anything it grabs thats a non-land.
6. Its random when it happens so praying is the only workaround

With a tax card like Thalia, there would be a trigger, and if you are not able to pay the tax for then "free" spell" you cannot cast it.

none of those kind of cards were on the field if they were then the ability wouldnt trigger (aka red flashing and nothing happening). but it does and it just says you cannot play these cards

There are multiple reasons this could be the case - Thalia/Aven Interrupter taxing the cards and you have no mana, Phyrexian Censor, High Noon
