Instant spell "new way forward" failed to work (Premier draft)
I was plying a game in a TDM premeir draft just now and experienced this bug. Log is attached and the relevent game is the most recent one. I was in a position and attempted to cast the spell "new way forward" at instant speed after declaring blocks, but the client simply woulnd't let me cast it. I have reviewed my game log 3 times now to confirm, and I DID have sufficient mana to cast the spell, with 4 untapped lands and an untapped "sunset strikemaster" which collectively included all three requisite colors of mana. I even tried manually tapping the 5 mana required and seeing if it would let me cast it then, but it would not, and I was forced to "pass to damage" to avoid timing out. It seems as if the client was treating the spell inquestion either as a sorcery, or it couldn't figure out it's mana cost.
This was very frustrating because I was going to win the game if I was actually able to cast the spell. I would love to have my gems refunded to my account after this bug is confirmed. Thank you.

You did not read the card correctly:
"The next time a source of your choice would deal damage TO YOU this turn, prevent that damage."No mention of damage prevention for creatures.

I had a similar scenario where my opponent was at 3 life so I targeted his 5/5 blocker. It let me cast the spell, but it's as if the spell didn't resolve - no damage was prevented, I lost my attacker, opponent took no damage, and I drew no cards. I lost on the crackback which was very frustrating.

Was there a Voice of Victory on your opponent's side? If so, casting ANY spell during his turn is forbidden by the card.
