| 386.2.b. |
If they do not apply the Replacement Effect, it has not been applied this turn. If they do not perform the Triggered Ability, it is removed from the chain. |
|
Example: Zilean, Time mage reads “Once each turn, if you would play a token unit while I'm at a battlefield, you may play that token and an additional copy of it instead.” When his controller plays a token, they can choose not to apply the replacement effect to that event. If they do, they can choose to apply it to a later event of a token being played. |
|
|
Example: A player controls a unit that reads in part “Once each turn, when an enemy unit dies, you may banish it.” When an enemy Recruit token dies, the triggered ability goes on the chain. If they choose not to perform the ability on finalization, it is removed from the chain. When a Stalwart Poro dies later in the turn, they can choose to perform it then. |
|
| 386.3. |
For such Passive Abilities, they will be active until they have been applied to the specified number of events, after which point they will become inactive. |
| 386.3.a. |
If such a Passive Ability says “you may” or “they may” as the first part of the ability after the “once each turn,” the controller of the source of the Passive Ability chooses whether or not to apply the ability to the event in question. If they do not, the Passive Ability is Ignored during that event. |
