Title: Chandra and Slaughter Games
Post by: Ocelot823 on November 16, 2012, 12:11:00 AM
I have a question:

If you -2 Chandra and then cast Slaughter Games can you actually search through your opponents deck and remove a card(s) with one before you have to name a card for the other Slaughter Games? Thusly allowing you to peak at the rest of the deck before deciding what to remove with the second Slaughter Games.

From my understanding you don't have to name a card until it resolves and the copy would go on the stack after the original and would also resolve first??

I believe that's legit since one {slaughter game} has to resolve before the other. They can't resolve at the same time.

Nope, name and target in order to put it on the stack. So you have to choose before the first resolves.

Bust! I was wrong :( That would be a really mean combo if it worked out like that.

So you name the target card when you put it on the stack not when it resolves??
