So this spell is apparently really bugged sometimes. I cast strategic retreat with 4 champs on the field, a forest lerper, civilized wilderkin, enforcer of the circle, and a reticulated splinehawk. This is what my screen looked like a few turns after casting the spell. I transfigured my shrine after the fact and ran over to say hi to my Enforcer but it was not transfigured when i cast it. I can click on the Enforcer and Wilderkin but cant move them or use anything on them. My opponent said he couldnt move to the square in yellow, and my wilderkin and enforcer both kept taking damage from ping. Oddly enough when i checked my spell presence it didnt even reach to the tile in yellow though. The Reticulated Splinehawk and Forest Lerper were completely gone.
