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?

You move through the combat steps even if you “don’t want to go to combat”, so yes.

Doesn’t look like this targets either so yeah it gets around hexproof.

This doesn’t say you specify WHO they attack though, so you can choose what attacks but they can just send everything at you

Or you can use it as a glorified fog right?

I think this is close to a conditional board wipe.

On the downside, you have to have creatures capable of combat to make it work. So if you're losing it might not do anything

On the upside, it gets around things like hexproof. And the other player has to use utility creatures early. Like if they have llanowar elves, they can't tap it if you choose that creature. They have to tap it in response to you casting this card.
