Incorrect interaction between Raider's Wake and Ghitu Embercoiler
Summary: Incorrect interaction between Raider's Wake and Ghitu Embercoiler makes player discard a card and lose life without getting to Seek.
Setup: I control a Ghitu Embercoiler (creature) and my opponent controls a Raider's Wake (enchantment).
Bug: At the beginning of my first main phase, Ghitu Embercoiler allows me to discard a card, and if I do, to seek a card with greater mana value.
On that trigger, if I choose to discard a card, Raider's Wake triggers as a response and I lose 2 life. However, after that resolves, the game does not give me a card as part of the "seek" reward of Ghitu Embercoiler.
Expected results: I discard a card and lose 2 life, but I still get to seek a card with greater mana value since I paid the discard cost.
This happens on PC in MTGA on Steam. Attached a logfile just in case.

The discard and the seek are part of the Embercoiler's trigger's resolution. The other trigger cannot get in between the two effects, it has to wait for it to resolve fully, much like you cannot interfere during the resolution of a spell. You seek before you lose the life. If you did not get a card from the seek, that means, that there was no card to find left in your library that fulfils the criteria.
