More Double-Legacy days! I hope that many of you are safely in Denver, or on your way there for the event, and I hope you have fun and do well! On to the tips.
For example, while it is a completely legal play to cast Grip aimed at your opponent’s Standstill, it is a very BAD play. Standstill will still trigger, the trigger will resolve and let them draw cards, and then your Grip fizzles because it has no legal target.
Same deal with Counterbalance; while your opponent can’t use Top to try and manipulate a 3-drop for Counterbalance to show, Counterbalance will still trigger and your opponent gets a shot at trying to counter Grip, or Extirpate, or anything else with Split Second.
