Wan Shi Tong, Librarian Bug
I was playing the arena direct event when the following happened: my opponent cast “wan shi tong”. After resolving but before the counters were placed on the creature, I cast “sold out,” exiling the creature. Despite not being able to place the counters on the creature, my opponent still drew multiple cards. This is incorrect. Wan shi tong reads “… put x plus one plus one counters on him. Then draw x cards…” this means you would have to put the counters on him prior to drawing the cards. Since the counters were never placed, the player should not draw the cards. This changed the whole game, causing me to lose. I had a stacked sealed pool after trying multiple times and I feel this was quite unfair. I would like arena to make this right. I spend thousands of dollars in gems and for this to happen in an arena direct event is outrageous.

While the counters are placed before the card draw, the draw is not depending on the counters being placed. If no counters can be placed for whatever reason, that impossible instruction is ignored, then the game proceeds with the next instruction: drawing cards. This is no bug. This is how the rules say the game works.
