Option to cast Increasing Vengeance not triggering
Good day. I'd like to report a bug.
Platform: Epic Games on Mac
This has happened in four different games when playtesting a deck against Sparky, and I captured a log of this latest incident (see attached). I'm casting a viable instant (Lightning Helix) during my opponent's turn and would like to copy the spell that I control by casting Increasing Vengeance from my hand, but the option to cast Increasing Vengeance never triggers. I have one untapped Blood Crypt and two untapped Sacred Foundry, so the available mana is there. The text of Increasing Vengeance is: "Copy target instant or sorcery spell you control. If this spell was cast from a graveyard, copy that spell twice instead. You may choose new targets for the copies." As far as I can tell, I'm not misunderstanding the card text and I should be able to copy Lightning Helix using Increasing Vengeance, but Lightning Helix just resolves on the stack and goes to the graveyard with no option to cast Increasing Vengeance triggering after casting Lightning Helix.

Arena uses the tournament shortcut of passing priority after you put an spell or ability on the stack. To keep priority and respond to your own stuff, you have to enter Full Control mode BEFORE you cast that spell or activate the ability.
Also, Increasing Vengeance has no triggers, you have to cast the spell in response to what you want to copy.
