Re: Unnatural Selection+Flagbearer (9.28.01 )


I have checked this with 2 judges now, and it does not work.


Judge 1:
"With Flagbearers, the affected player is restricted to what he can
choose as targets. If, after the targets are chosen, the targetting
restrictions for that player change, that doesn't affect the spells or
abilities that are already on the stack."


Judge 2:
"We know the famous equation: Player plus misconception = mistake.
You can't play a spell with an illegal target. That doesn't mean you discard
the spell you tried to play; that means you -can't play it- - you're not
allowed to try, and if you find you've done so by mistake, the entire game
backs up to just before you started announcing the spell and you take some
-legal- action instead.
If the opponent must target a flagbearer if able, and there are none he can
target, then: he's not able to do so. So is not bound by the restriction."
