Summary

(Disclaimer: using the /card command Zada is listed as "🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 3/3 · 1 gap", so I'm not entirely sure whether it's supposed to be fully

Oracle text (verified from client/public/card-data.json)

aligned heart

Flurry — Whenever you cast your second spell each turn, put a rally counter on this enchantment. Then create a 1/1 white Monk creature token with prowess for each rally counter on it. (Whenever you cast a noncreature spell, the token gets +1/+1 until end of turn.)

birds of paradise

Flying
{T}: Add one mana of any color.

devoted druid

{T}: Add {G}.
Put a -1/-1 counter on this creature: Untap this creature.

spawning breath

Spawning Breath deals 1 damage to any target. Create a 0/1 colorless Eldrazi Spawn creature token. It has "Sacrifice this token: Add {C}."

venerated rotpriest

Toxic 1 (Players dealt combat damage by this creature also get a poison counter.)
Whenever a creature you control becomes the target of a spell, target opponent gets a poison counter.

wirewood symbiote

Return an Elf you control to its owner's hand: Untap target creature. Activate only once each turn.

zada, hedron grinder

Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell that targets only Zada, copy that spell for each other creature you control that the spell could target. Each copy targets a different one of those creatures.

Zada, Hedron Grinder's Oracle text is Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell that targets only Zada, copy that spell for each other creature you control that the spell could target. Each copy targets a different one of those creatures. The trigger itself (SpellCast + TargetsOnly filter) parses correctly, but the "copy ... for each other creature you control that the spell could target" clause is the actual defect — coverage-data.json flags it directly: gap_details: [{ handler: "Swallow:DynamicQty", source_text: "...copy that spell for each other creature you control that the spell cou[ld target]" }], with the card marked supported: false overall despite each individual node showing supported: true. Looking at the parsed AST, the execute chain is two hardcoded sequential CopySpell effects (one keeping the original target, one retargeting to "Any") — a fixed count of 2 copies, not a count driven by how many other eligible creatures you actually control. The same broken pattern shows up on Radiate (card-data.json "radiate"), which has identical Oracle-text shape ("copy that spell for each other X the spell could target. Each copy targets a different one of those X.") and the same two-CopySpell chain with no dynamic quantity carrier — so this is a class-level parser/AST gap (missing a "one copy per eligible other target" building block), not a one-off. In an actual game, this means Zada mis-scales the number of copies whenever you control 0, 1, or 3+ other legal targets instead of exactly matching the eligible-creature count.

Status: confirmed. Classifier: supported-aspect-defect.
