How does Chalice of the Void work with the new trigger rules? It doesn't say MAY on the card, but I'm not sure if that even matters anymore with the update trigger policy.
If I were to cast a spell that should be countered (say a Brainstorm vs. Chalice on 1), does my opponent have the acknowledge the trigger for it to occur? Could they decide to let the spell through if they desired?
Thanks for any replies.
They have to demonstrate awareness of the trigger before it would actually impact the game. We recently had a case with Carsten Kotter playing Ponder into a Chalice@1 and his opponent just sitting there, saying nothing. Only when Carsten tried to resolve the Ponder, his opponent suddenly remembered the interaction and had the Ponder countered.
Your opponent can however not knowingly "forget" a mandatory trigger like Chalice, Dark Confidant etc. Doing so would be Cheating.
The seven cardinal sins of Legacy:
1. Discuss the unbanning ofLand TaxEarthcraft.
2. Argue that banning Force of Will would make the format healthier.
3. Play Brainstorm without Fetchlands.
4. Stifle Standstill.
5. Think that Gaea's Blessing will make you Solidarity-proof.
6. Pass priority after playing Infernal Tutor.
7. Fail to playtest against Nourishing Lich (coZ iT wIlL gEt U!).
I'm not clear who you're referring to when you say "opponent," (it's not clear who controls the Chalice in the OP either) but you can only get in trouble (read: a warning, escalating from there) if you forget your own trigger and the trigger would be detrimental for you.
From the IPG:
So let's say we have two players, player A and player N, and player A controls Chalice on X=1.Originally Posted by IPG
-If player N casts a 1CMC spell and player A doesn't acknowledge Chalice, that's ok.
-If player A casts a 1CMC spell and doesn't acknowledge their own Chalice trigger, that is probably cheating. (Assuming they're aware of it--which, obviously, they should be.)
