LSJ Timing Questions

If a card lets you do X when Y is played, can you do X then play soomething to cancel Y. Example: Sascha Vykos lets you draw a card whenever someone plays a master card. If Meth A plays Blood Doll can Sascha then draw a card, get a sudden and then sudden the Blood Doll, or is using the ability come after the playing of a card? There is also a new Nagaraja that lets you look at someone's hand when they play a master card, can you look at their hand and then choose whether to sudden the card? Thanks, David

You may not use a Sudden Reversal you have drawn with Sascha adv's special ability. Concerning the Nagaraja, it is written on the card that you may look at the opponent's hand after replacing. Since you do not replace until you know no Sudden (or Direct ...) will be played, it is clear that you cannot play a Sudden reversal after seeing the hand.

[ quoted text not captured ] Since the card is considered "played" even if it is cancelled, I would lean toward "yes". Strangely, I remember a ruling that suggested that DI/Sudden was played before the cancelled card was even replaced, but I can't find any evidence that such a ruling actually exists. -- - Gregory Stuart Pettigrew

No. Canceling Y "as it is played" must be done as it is played, not after X. > Example: Sascha Vykos lets you draw a card whenever someone plays a > master card. > > If Meth A plays Blood Doll can Sascha then draw a card, get a sudden > and then sudden the Blood Doll, or is using the ability come after the > playing of a card?

No. You have to Sudden (or not) first. After you look, the card is no longer being played. -- That is my story, be it bitter or be it sweet. Keep a little and let a little come back to me.
