Situation: Termi-Nation Unity, Parse, and Omnitron-U vs. Mad Bomber Blade in Tomb of Anubis. It is Mad Bomber Blade's play phase. All heroes are under 10 HP and Anubis is in play.

 
Bomber Blade plays Elemental Redistributor, which is immediately destroyed. Anubis triggers and hits Elemental Redistributor, which would be the second highest HP target if it were still in play, but it's not showing as in play, because it went straight to Bomber Blade's trash. I know targets can still be in play while they're destroyed (most notably, Explosive Barrels), but since the Redistributor wasn't being *shown* as in the play area, I was surprised to see Anubis target it. It wouldn't have made a difference in the game, but should Anubis have targeted the Redistributor, or should it have hit one of my heroes instead?

I should clarify that Bomber Blade is on his flip side.

This is working as expected if a card reacts on destruction of a card and it's a target it remains in play until that affect finishes.  If that card has its own destruction text on then it will retain all of the affects on it until it completes its own destruction text but if it doesn't it loses all game text while this happens.

While it does stay in play, I thought it isn’t counted for highest/lowest targeting, just that it can be selected as a target.

If it can't count for highest/lowest then it seems odd to still be an option as a target.

Fair enough then.  I was about to ask if it was listed in that or not.

OK, so it is a bug. Normally I would report something like this straightaway, but this was an odd case and I wanted to get input on it first. Thanks, team.
