Insidious Roots Bug under Tishana's Tidebinder
I faced a bug, where i got Insidious Roots trigger I shouldn't got.
My Opponent countered my first Insidous Roots trigger with his Thishanas Tidebinder and it worked properly the first few turns, meaning i didn't got any roots trigger (allthough I can not remember if a creature left my GY during this time). During this time the Tidebinder was always untapped. A few turns later he decided to attack with his Tidebinder (wich i did not block), so it was tapped in my turn. In my following turn i played a second copy of Insidious Roots. Then I exiled a Rubblebelt Maverick from my graveyard. But istead of just getting one Insidious Roots trigger, i also got a trigger from the first copy of Insidious Roots, wich should had no abilities due to the Thishanas Tidebinder. This bug kept happening as i went to my next turn, where i played a Tyvar, Jubilant Brawler to return a creature from my graveyard. This time the Tidebinder from my Opponent was untapped.
This Bug is unfortunatly pretty frusttrating for both players, since there is no way to avoid the trigger or play around to keep the gamestate fair.

Tishana's Tidebinder counters abilities. But only if that ability comes from a creature, artifact, or planeswalker will it remove that permanent's abilities. Your first Insidious Roots was always active while the Tidebinder was out. You could have exiled another card from your graveyard that very turn and the Roots would have triggered again.
