At fist the midweek coalition event was removed seemingly in error. Then it was kept off to make way for a new "Halloween" schedule. Now for the third week in a row we are not getting a PvP coalition event at all.
The optimist in me is hoping that they are just focusing on other things and that the event scheduling is a low priority.
The pessimist in me is wondering if this event was permanently removed both to put a smaller focus on coalitions and to reduce the amount of prizes that players get both from progression, individual placements and coalition placements. Will we even get a 2nd coalition event once Ixalan is released?
Last week I was leaning optimistic. This week I am swinging to the pessimist side of the equation.

I am not opining for quick releases of new content. I am speculating that the community got another middle-finger from D3 & Co. by removing the weekly PvP coalition event.

Am I going to get called a hypocrite if they nerf Koth and I disagree with the decision? Hope not because I wasn't those people nor am I the people you are referring to above.
Anyway, I am hopeful that my optimistic view is correct. But with the absence of communication and D3's history, it's just hard to retain faith.

Cast Out still does autocast if there are no creatures on board. You are not asked if you want to cast it or not.
If there is at least one, on opponent's side or yours, it works correctly
Edit : sorry I hadn't seen Majincob's post who made the same observation
