If a player gains shroud in response to Profane Command, the first mode will still resolve if the other mode still have legal target / choosing to give creatures fear when you control no creatures sometimes prompts a large number

• If a player gains shroud in response to Profane Command, the first mode will still resolve if the other mode still have valid target
• Casting Profane Command choosing to give creatures fear when you control no creatures prompts a large number. Workaround for this bug is canceling the process of casting, and re-casting it again. If the bug happens again, cancel and redo again.

Affects: [Profane Command]

Since this has been the subject of discussion, I delved a bit deeper into this bug.

TL;DW: Two parts to this bug.

Life drain goes through shroud: only seems to occur when two modes can be completely executed.
Arbitrary large number giving no creatures fear: does occur, can be cancelled out and redone correctly.

Thanks for that :)

Choosing to give zero of your creatures fear always prompts for the large number, even if you control creatures, incidentally

[jmeka]

So I guess the cancelling out part of the numerical bug can't be done if the spell has only two modes it can do, generally "Target player loses X life/Up to X creatures gain fear."

Still bugged

The large number bug has been fixed. The draining life bug still exist

Apparently the large number bug is still there, but not happened just because I have no creature. There is an additional trigger for it. Looking into it
