BUG: Etrata, Deadly Fugitive's ability doesn't work right with Banishing Light, Sheltered By Ghosts
On version 2026.62.20.5586.1310916, macOS.
Etrata, Deadly Fugitive's ability says:
Face-down creatures you control have "(2){U}{B}: Turn this creature face up. If you can't, exile it, then you may cast the exiled card without paying its mana cost.
I had a face-down Banishing Light that came from hitting the opponent with Etrata on a prior turn. I activated the Etrata ability on the face-down Banishing Light to exile it and cast the exiled card without paying its mana cost.
Instead, the game put Banishing Light directly onto the battlefield without anything happening. It did not prompt me to select a target. The opponent did not have anything on the battlefield that would have prevented the Banishing Light from working. I'm convinced this is a bug.
I've tried attaching the log but it's 10MB and I could not get the form to submit. So if you want the log let me know and I can post it to a file share site and send you the link.
Another time in a previous game, I used the Etrata ability to uncloak a Sheltered By Ghosts (which I'd cloaked from the opponent). The game never prompted me with Ul to select which creature of mine targeted with Sheltered. The Sheltered By Ghosts spell never even got cast, but it charged me the mana for Etrata's ability.
Please fix this, as it is making my investment in four copies of Etrata for a standard deck feel pretty stupid.

Pretty sure this is the relevant section of the log:

Permanent cards CAN be turned face up, so they are not going to your hand but simply are turned face up.
