Bug in Shifting Woodlands
I was playing in Powered Cube Draft (BO1) and I had a copy of Shifting Woodlands on the battlefield and a Minsc & Boo in the graveyard - I tried to copy Minsc & Boo with Shifting Woodlands and it immediatelly sacrificed itself after I copied it, causing me to lose the game on the spot, while - if that would not be bugged - I could easily win this turn…
It never happened to me before, I did exactly the same a game before this one (or two games before, I am not entirely sure) and it worked just fine. I asked my friend who's a judge, and he said there was no cause for it to sacrifice itself. Therefore I reckon it's a bug. I have no idea how to proceed from now, but I must admin - I am pretty pissed off because of that - maybe for you it's just a ‘virtual currency’ but I paid real bloody money for that event entry and I just lost it because of a bug. I demand satisfaction

Not a bug. Your Woodland became a planeswalker, and because it did not enter as a planeswalker, it did not get loyalty counters. A planeswalker with 0 loyalty counters goes to the graveyard as a state based action. So remember, copying a planeswalker with a card that does not make that copy planeswalker enter the battlefield will result in one dead copy planeswalker due to lack of loyalty.
