Elemental Incarnations work incorrectly when convoked
When an elemental incarnation (for example emptiness) is convoked (using eridu) for its evoke cost using a white black creature it is unable to activate one of its modes (in the case of emptiness at least its black mode and maybe its white, though I have not tested it with white). This caused me to lose a game in the arena direct and I would like a refund of my arena direct or to be afforded a win for my last game. My opponent had 2 life and I had eridu, a great forest druid, and a reaping willow on my board. The eridu and great forrest druid did not have summoning sickness. My opponent had 1 flying blocker (a 2/2 merrow skyswimmer). I played the emptiness and paid 2b for emptinesss and neither ability triggered. I then lost the game because I did not have lethal.

If you tap a creature for convoke, you are not paying mana. So if you tap even one creature to pay an evoke cost of those Elementals via convoke, you are short paying mana of the required color. And so you do not get the trigger that requires you to pay mana, actual mana, not just the choice of cost. The cost has to be paid with mana to get the trigger.
