MTGA: coding error with scapeshift + valakut
There's a bug with MTGA and valakut when scapeshift is cast: it triggers for each time a mountain hits even when the minimum 5-mountain threshold is NOT met. I had 18 life (at least), opponent casts scapeshift, sacs 6 lands (keeping only valakut), drops those 6 mountains, and valakut goes off SIX times, hitting me for 18 life. From my read of the card, it should only have gone off ONCE (since 5 mountains must be in play when the sixth one ETB to trigger valakut). I've lost too many games against this issue.

The lands enter at the same time. When the game checks Valakut's trigger condition for each land, it counts 6 Mountains, because those lands are already on the field at that time, so Valakut triggers. For each Mountain Scapeshift put on the field.
