When i choose eureka and big bad vodoo\ancestral spirit for hagathas horror then second part of horror doesnt work.
When u choose eureka and soul of the murlocks tho, then summoned minion gets the dr buff.
I brought the second part with murlocks because im looking for a reason this is happening. First i thought that when the second part of horror is being casted, its done simultaneously with first (this is why there are no minions that can be selected with ancestral spirit, battlecry minions cant target themselves), so even tho eureka gets cast first, its only a visual effect but in fact both spells are casted at the same time. This isnt true because if im not able to select minion summoned with eureka then its because its not on the board after eureka but still in summon phase thus spirot of the murlocks shouldnt work as well.
So ive came to conclusion that all the requirements for the horror spells are checked when playing this card from hand. So even tho there is really a target to be selected with ancestral spirit (after eureka), you cant do that because it wasnt on the board b4 horror was played. And this what i think is a bug because ancestral spirit\big bad vodoo should be casted with atleast random target. What is more is that i think big bad voodo should even be able to be casted on horror itself just like yogg can cast fireball in its own face.
I don’t think it’s a bug. Big bad voodoo and ancestral spirit are targeted spells as you know so they won’t be casted unless you choose a target. Since horror castes spells through its battlecry you choose your targets before he enters the board and as you said he cannot target himself.
And the difference between yogg is, that he chooses random targets simultaneously while casting. He chooses a target right before casting a spell not while entering the board.
As I said this is a strange interaction but I don’t think it’s a bug.
Also I know from expiriance blizzard doesn’t disign cards that refresh the board status between actions (like in artifact for example). This causes all kinds of shenanigans sometimes (like double lightning storm from electra won’t kill treans that spawn after clearing the board once or broken targeting with multiple scrolls of wonders)

Am i getting this wrong or this should be fixed?

I remeber electra being able to clear dr minions. I guess they must have changed it.
