So there I am with two swamps and a mountain, claim the first born in hand, a gutterbones in the yard.

I'm like, I wanna get gutterbones out and then play him onto the field again right? So I tap my mountain and another thing to pay bones' activation cost...and it taps my untapped swamp and leaves a red mana floating.

I can't believe the game doesn't automatically prioritize floating mana over untapped lands even if you have a playable card in hand.

Did you have a red card like a Shock in hand or something? Only thing I can think of but that still seems pretty bad.

In general the autotapper doesn't take new information into account like the fact that you're going to put Gutterbones into your hand, and it might try to prioritize something it already knows you can cast. Same thing happens if I cast Lurrus for example - it doesn't look at my graveyard to see what I could cast next and so might tap the wrong lands.
