How does the spell shield mechanic actually work?

Someone explain to me why Scrying Sands bypass spellshield while Quicksand does not

I'm guessing it's a bug, but it's because Scrying Sands is a weird card since it's you can use it without a target for the Predict. Idk man, I don't make the spaghetti code.

It's just a bug.

That makes sense because otherwise the spellshield could counter the Predict effect as well

It shouldn't regardless. You still get the Spiderling from Vile Feast or the +2 Health from Troll Chant. I think that since Scrying Sands is the first card that is a spell that you can use with or without a target, it works differently. This is all just speculation though.

That also makes sense, thank you

It was indeed a bug, just has been fixed in this patch

I understand maybe for some of you guys this fix may not seem like a lot, but for the deck i am playing its the difference between 0x copies and 3x
Nullifying Spell Shields and also Predict for just 1 mana is that good
