    You can do that or just shrug your shoulders and say "you tell me". You can say whatever except mislead an opponent.
    Is there a whole category of questions I can decline to answer?
    Yeah, anything pertaining to derived information or hidden information. Note if someone is asking you from the capacity of a judge, you MUST answer when asked (you can do so away from the table) as outlined in my link
    If my opponent asks me a question I can decline to answer, and I'm declining to answer, and he calls a judge, what would happen?

    Again... these are serious questions.
    Judge should tell him that you are under no obligation to answer. Simple as that.

    You have a lord of atlantis and a cursecatcher out and i ask what is curscatcher's P/T? You can say nothing or otherwise decline to answer. A judge gets called, opponent states his case. Judge should say "he doesn't have to answer" and the game should continue

    Re: Announcing Exalted Triggers

    For another semi-related question, albeit in Standard:

    If a player has a Seeker of the Way and then plays Lightning Strike, but doesn't announce any Seeker trigger, would I then be able to Abzan Charm it?

    Yes.

    This can actually be answered without involving visible/non-visible confusion. There is no "may" involved with Prowess. Either Seeker of the Way gets +1/+1 and you Abzan Charm it, or your opponent tries to make it a missed trigger and you choose to put the trigger on the stack anyway.

    I would think so, since Prowess is not a "may" ability. Not sure how it would work with something like Ajani's Pridemate though. I think you always have the option to point out triggers to your opponent?
    I think the biggest thing is the deep seeded emotional understanding that the right play is the right play regardless of outcomes. The ability to make a decision 5 straight times, lose 5 times because of it, and still make it the 6th time if it's the right play. - Jon Finkel

    Ajani's Pridemate receives a +1/+1 counter when its ability resolves. There is no unknown middle ground with that card. Either Ajani's Pridemate got a +1/+1 counter, Ajani's Pridemate's controller chose not to put a +1/+1 counter on it, or the trigger was missed.

    A quick Google search and a skim through some guidelines says that anything related to "may" and otherwise non-visible triggers, such as Akoum Battlesinger, would have to be acknowledged as there is a choice to be made. Which is to say that they can be missed.

    Not sure what you meant by "tries to make it a missed trigger", but deliberately "forgetting" a trigger because it's advantageous to you = cheating, DQ.

    Yes, any trigger with "may" falls in the second category (has a choice). The trigger has to be acknowledged before you do something that requires the stack to be empty - move to the next step/phase, play a sorcery, play a land, etc.
    “It's possible. But it involves... {checks archives} Nature's Revolt, Opalescence, two Unstable Shapeshifters (one of which started as a Doppelganger), a Tide, an animated land, a creature with Fading, a Silver Wyvern, some way to get a creature into play in response to stuff, some way to get a land into play in response to stuff (a different land from the animated land), and one heck of a Rube Goldberg timing diagram.
