Decimator Beetle

[Homnomz]

I don't know why, because it was working last night, but I wasn't able to target my opponent's creatures at all when attacking with Decimator Beetle.

[LevelX2]

Code looks ok. Probably because the target is "up to 1" and therefore optional you clicked on "cancel" instead of selecting a target creature of defending player.

[Homnomz]

I ended up clicking on done because clicking on enemy creatures did nothing.

[edit: there was no cancel button, just the done button. When selecting my own creature, just clicking the creature was sufficient. When clicking the opponents creatures did nothing, I just clicked done.]

Initially I wanted to target the Felidar cub, and when clicking on it did nothing, I tried the tokens to no avail. A rollback also didn't solve the problem.

I Don't have time today to test it, but will comment again after testing the beetle once more. Hopefully it was just a one time bug.

[drmDev]

Will add UT and test manually later tonight.

[drmDev]

UT added - works as expected. Manual tested as well. When you attack with Decimator Beetle you must first target a creature you control (even if just Decimator Beetle) and then target a creature the opponent controls.
