Bug - Ozai, the Phoenix King Incorrectly Counting Unspent Mana
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2csbGFaxFQ
Above is a screen recording of my turn. I attack with Ozai generating 4 red mana, then tap a mountain and Pyromancer Goggles for for 6 total, Ozai gets flying and indestructible. I cast Whirling Strike for 2, the counter below the cards reflects that accurately at 3 remaining mana, Bayo gives me one more red for 5 total (2:20 in the video). Ozai gets the flying and indestructible animations after Bayo's mana is added to the pool. The damage step at 2:43 shows 5 mana with Ozai getting flying and indestructible.

Piggybacking off of this, as my browser keeps crashing whenever I try to make a post about this myself:
On 29/11/2025, I controled [Ozai, Phoenix King] with 4 red mana in my mana pool from the Firebending ability. I cast [The Last Agni Kai], having Ozai fight the opponent's [Walltop Sentries].
What I think should have happened: I spent 2 mana to cast Agni Kai, leaving 2 in the pool with the spell on the stack. Ozai fights the Sentries, I gets 4 additional red mana; when Agni Kai finishes resolving and state-based actions are checked, I would have 6 red mana in my pool, so Ozai's static ability would give it indestructible and flying as SBAs are checked and so it shouldn't die to the Sentries' deathtouch.
What Arena did: Resolved the fight, gave me a single red mana in their mana pool, leaving me with 3 mana, Ozai died. I then went on to lose the game due to this interaction.
