I played three Whirlwinds in a row and after third Whirlwind my Dragonling was still on hands while I discarded Caravan I didn't have.

Also, every time I select a round autoreplaying is set to play.
How about making it on pause by default?

Well, the caravan was probably drawn by the whirlwind. Since the new keyword system doesn't take the played card into account, the card that was drawn was probably the one discarded. ALthough its still odd, since the wish was discarded on turn 8 when the dragonling should be discarded.

Each whirlwind draws a new card before shuffling your hand. Also, each whirlwind triggerd Aria effect, because it was Round 5. Caravan for example, was a card that was drawn by whirlwind, only to be discarded by Aria on the same turn.

This is all because of the new log-based system for discarded cards. The old system would not show you the discarded caravan, because it wasn't in your hand at the start of your turn.

I understand Caravan appearing and being immediately discarded, but why did Aria discard Caravan and Wish rather than Caravan and Dragonling? Dragonling was already on hand and should have been deemed lower cost than Wish.

I can't find drawing a new card (cards) in the list in Turn actions help.

Dragonling wasn't discarded because it happened to land in the played card slot. Aria keyword effect ignores played card position when looking for target to discard.

Cards that do something with your whole hand tend to disable standard card draw (after keyword effect). This can be seen in Whirlwind code as well.

Wow, OK, that makes sense. It's less than ideal, but I can see why designing it to function as one would expect can be extremely difficult.

That said, since Whirlwind does, singularly, possess both hand rearrangement and the Aria keyword, it's worth looking into figuring out adding an exception to the exception. If not, we may need to reconsider Whirlwind existing in its current form.
