Survival Vs. Removal Interaction Implemented Incorrectly
My opponent put the Survival triggered ability of Kona, Rescue Beastie on the stack in their second main phase. In response, I cast Aang, Swift Savior, airbending Kona. When Kona's trigger resolved, my opponent was able to successfully put a permanent into play. This is contrary to the rules relating to the Survival mechanic; if the triggering creature is not in play when the trigger tries to resolve, then the intervening "if it is tapped" clause should cause the trigger to fail to resolve, as a creature cannot be tapped if it is not in play.
