In reply to kasey. I mean, to be fair you can cast Might there. It won't resolve, but you can cast it. But yes, scummy.

In reply to kasey.

I believe that it only becomes illegal if they expressly lie to you about open information, e.g. if you asked the CC he either would have to give a non-answer or tell you that it was one. That said, that is definitely slimy. The gameplan against Chalice often enough involves hoping that your opponent misses triggers, but that’s just not even clever.

I’m not the most bubbly opponent, but I try to give all of my opponents as much as they give me- minimally asking them how it’s going at the start of the match. I really don’t understand people who see it fit to do less than that.

Definitely not defending the merfolk guy. Had similar experiences in Omaha. One opponent on infect presented a might of old krosa during combat with his finger carefully placed over the casting cost to try to get it past my chalice of the void set to 1. Not sure how legal that move is, but it sure felt slimy.

Played all 15 rounds (the last 1 or 2 for fun; no shot at the money), and probably 2 or 3 guys I played were pretty unfun to play against.
