BUG REPORT — Weathered Wayfarer Activated Ability Not Available
Card:
Weathered Wayfarer
Game mode:
Commander
Problem:
Weathered Wayfarer does not appear to allow me to activate its normal noncombat ability from the battlefield.
Expected card function:
Weathered Wayfarer should allow me to pay {W} and tap it to search my library for a land card, reveal that card, put it into my hand, then shuffle, as long as an opponent controls more lands than I do.
What is happening:
When Weathered Wayfarer is on my battlefield, I do not appear to have any option to activate its {W}, {T} ability.
The only time the card appears tappable/selectable is when I am declaring attackers, as though it can only be tapped by attacking.
I have specifically tried to use it during normal priority windows while it is on the battlefield and I have the required white mana available, but NeoForge does not give me an activation option for the land-search ability.
Expected behavior:
When all of the following are true:
- Weathered Wayfarer is under my control;
- it is untapped;
- I can pay {W};
- and at least one opponent controls more lands than I do;
I should be able to activate Weathered Wayfarer, tap it, pay {W}, search my library for any land card, reveal it, put it into my hand, and shuffle.
Actual behavior:
No activated-ability option is presented. The creature appears usable only through normal combat/attack selection.
Possible areas to check:
- Whether NeoForge is correctly checking the condition "Activate only if an opponent controls more lands than you."
- Whether the activated ability is being exposed in the battlefield action UI.
- Whether the card is incorrectly being treated as having no tap ability outside combat.
- Whether priority/action menus are failing to show conditional activated abilities on creatures.
Severity:
Moderate to High for this deck.
Weathered Wayfarer is an important utility card because it can search for specific lands such as Command Beacon, Hall of Echoes, Plaza of Heroes, or other utility/fixing lands. If its activated ability is unavailable, the card is functionally reduced to a 1/1 creature.
If needed, I can provide a game log or decklist from a game where Weathered Wayfarer was on the battlefield but its activated ability was unavailable.
