Noggle the Mind sent my creature to graveyard instead of turning it into 1/1
Dear MTG:A Team,
I was playing in the "Traditional Draft Lorwyn Eclipsed" Event today.
1. My opponent played "Noggle the Mind" targeting my "Heirloom Auntie" creature.
2. Instead of it turning my "Heirloom Auntie" into a 1/1 creature with no abilities, it instead sent my card right to my graveyard. I think the "creature destroyed" sound effect played, too.
Could you please test "Noggle the Mind" some more to see if you notice issues?
Thank you for your diligence on MTG:A, a game that has borne much good fruit in my life.
May God bless and reward you all.
Gratefully,
Stephen

If your Auntie had any -1/-1 counters on it when the aura was attached to it, it became a 0/0 or less. and thus died for having 0 or less toughness. -1/-1 counters and all other modifications to power/toughness happen in layer 7c, while effects that SET power/toughness to specific values are applied in layer 7b, so always prior to any modifications.
613.4. Within layer 7, apply effects in a series of sublayers in the order described below. Within each
sublayer, apply effects in timestamp order. (See rule 613.7.) Note that dependency may alter the
order in which effects are applied within a sublayer. (See rule 613.8.)[...]
613.4b Layer 7b: Effects that set power and/or toughness to a specific number or value are applied.
Effects that refer to the base power and/or toughness of a creature apply in this layer.613.4c Layer 7c: Effects and counters that modify power and/or toughness (but don’t set power
and/or toughness to a specific number or value) are applied.704.5f If a creature has toughness 0 or less, it’s put into its owner’s graveyard. Regeneration can’t
replace this event.
