Spellbender text bug

Bug Report
1

Spellbender’s text says “When an enemy casts a spell on a minion…”.

Counterspell’s text says “When your opponent casts a spell…”

This implies that there is a difference between ANY enemy casting a spell, and your opponent casting one from their hand.
However, if an enemy like Solarian Prime or Tortollan Pilgrim casts a spell on a minion, your Spellbender will not activate.
This makes the text wrong and proves that there is actually no difference between who can activate Spellbender vs Counterspell.

Suggestion: Change “an enemy” to “your opponent” in Spellbender’s text.

Spells cast by secondary effects like Tortollan Pilgrim or Deck of Wonders are considered to have been cast by the minion or spell, and do not count as spells cast by the player.

So those examples will not trigger in-game spell cast triggers like Mana Wyrm nor Lorewalker Cho nor secrets (nor daily quests).

This has been in effect since Yogg-Saron, Hope’s End has been added to the game (April 2016).

That is a good suggestion. Thanks!
