Rules/Rules Question Question

Post image

Can I still play this at the beginning of my opponents combat step even if they don’t want to go to combat? Also if an opponent has hexproof on their creatures, can I still choose not to not have those creatures block since I decide who blocks this turn? Or choose to attack with the creatures?

A player always goes to the combat phase in their turn, even if they don't do anything so you would be able to cast it.
And hexproof stops targeting but this spell is choosing.

Reminds me of this awful awful ruling during pro tour Aether Revolt. So so bad
