That would make sense if I had seen more Protect Artifact cards played, but I never saw them pop up. I can't imagine why the graphic for it would pop up without a problem on Hope but not on the other stacks. What I'm thinking is that there was some sort of an error that made the entire "permanent area" of my opponent's side of the field untouchable, which would explain why it wasn't reading a mouse-over, either. I just had time to play a couple more games, and there was no sign of the error this time.
