Wheel of Fortune and Time Reversal don’t give a prompt and automatically resolves

Wheel of Fortune and Time Reversal don’t give a prompt and automatically resolves also if you don’t want to. This makes those cards less playable. Can you change this pleaser?

Time Reversal still marked here as 'Investigating' after being reported in 2022

Reposting this from other threads since it's relevant (edited a bit for clarity):

There's a general policy that when a card text includes an effect that might be detrimental to the player, such as discarding your own cards, or destroying your own creatures, that card should have a confirmation prompt instead of autocasting.

Here's the link to that

Spells: Some of them ask if you want to cast them, but others will autocast without asking first. What determines if a spell will prompt before it is cast?
Answer: Spells may require prompts in situations that require a target for the effects or in situations that may be harmful to the player to cast them if this hasn’t been part of a major strategy. There may be some exceptions for this behavior, but mostly this is how the prompts behave.

I would like all universal board wipes and self discard/shuffle cards to have a prompt

@Magic:PQ Support Team has anyone looked at this in a while?

All universal board wipes and self discard/shuffle cards should have a casting prompt. It's a problem that they don't.

I had recently decided to spend $60 to buy Wheel of Fortune, but now that I know that it autocasts whenever it is full of mana, I won't buy it until this problem is fixed. Time Reversal could be such a cool card, but it just isn't because it autocasts. And that problem with Time Reverasal is something that was pointed out years ago. ANd it isn't even justifiable. Time Reversal's closest analog, Day's Undoing, has a casting prompt.

The arguments for a casting prompt on universal board wipes and self-discard/shuffle cards is incredibly strong. Casting these cards is not always advantageous to the caster. For example, displacement wave has a casting prompt, which makes sense because there are many situations in which you don't want to return your own creatures on the battlefield to your hand. Day's Undoing has a casting prompt, and this makes sense because you don't always want to get rid of your hand and draw a set of new cards.

Adding a casting prompt to these kinds of cards makes them consistent with other cards that have a casting prompt, like Day's Undoing and Displacement Wave, and increases the strategic choice of this great game. As the caster, you get to decide whether casting the card is worth it.

Please fix this. I would love to spend $60 to get Wheel of Fortune, but I just can't justify that while it currently functions as an autocast.

Oddly enough, 'Chaos Warp' does give the player a confirmation prompt and let them decline to cast it... But Chaos Warp is a one sided sweep, (which means: it doesn't destroy the player's own creatures), so it's less important.

It seems very much like no thought is put into the confirmation prompts, and they are assigned to cards at random.

It also seems like this is a Quality of Life improvement (which makes players happy!) which could be provided with very little additional coding (which makes devs happy!).

@Magic:PQ Support Team Still no response? Pile On also doesn’t give a prompt and still can’t target your own creature after almost 2 years [Investigating] 🎯 Make Your Move also doesn’t give a prompt and I am sure there are many others.

I really like @Mainloop25's elegant description of the card universe we are talking about here: "all universal board wipes and self discard/shuffle cards." These should have casting prompts. For example, I play with Magmatic Insight, and it's super annoying that that doesn't have a casting prompt.

This should really get fixed, especially for cards that would be super awesome like Time Reversal, Wheel of Fortune, and so on.
