Show and Tell's oracle text (Each player may put an artifact, creature, enchantment, or land card from their hand onto the battlefield.) is currently parsed correctly with "optional": true and "player_scope": {"type":"All"}, and this exact bug already has a merged fix: commit 5a06228ea ("Fixes #3258: Show and Tell optional per-player put (#4191)", 2026-06-23) added a dedicated "each player may" parser peel in clause_shell.rs/oracle_effect/mod.rs plus a controller-binding correction in change_zone.rs, and is covered by a passing regression test (crates/engine/tests/integration/issue_3258_show_and_tell.rs). That fix shipped in the v0.20.0 (2026-07-09) and v0.21.0 (2026-07-10) releases, so it's a released fix rather than a still-open defect. If this is still reproducing, it's most likely a stale-build report — please confirm you're on the latest client build and, if the behavior persists there, note the exact oracle-text wording of the card you cast, since a different "may put ... onto the battlefield" phrasing could fall outside the new clause_shell pattern.

Reviewed against current main: fixed by 5a06228ea. The exact Show and Tell runtime suite verifies each player can independently decline or accept, preserves prompt order, and uses each accepting player's own hand. The reported forced-choice behavior is resolved; please close the issue.
