Mystic Reflection Killed my Commander?
My opponent's commander, Sub-Suna, was on the battlefield. They also had this equipment, Tarrian's Soul-Cleaver.
We both had non-legendary hydras on the board. I had arcane signet and As Foretold. They didn't have other enchantments and burned a few counterspells at that point before the turn where Mystic Reflection was used.
It happened very quickly in terms of game speed. The opponent Cast Mystic Reflection in response to me trying to cast Atraxa. I didn't get any copy of any creatures and Atraxa was "killed" and I was given the choice to put her in the graveyard or in the command zone.
Mystic Reflection can't target legendary creatures for copies, so Atraxa shouldn't have been killed due to copying a legendary creature.
Is this a bug?

Mystic Reflection was most likely targeting one of those nonlegendary Hydras. Hydras are usually 0/0 creatures that get +1/+1 counters via an X cost in their mana cost. Since Atraxa entered as such a creature, and X was not defined when casting it, it entered as a 0/0 with no counters. And died due to that.
