Touching an opponent's cards without their consent
Ruling issued on November 17th 2024
Situation:
A player uses an action with the Deny keyword, allowing them to look at the top card of an opponent's arsenal and decide whether to place it back on top or move it to the bottom. The player reaches for the opponent's arsenal, but the opponent dislikes others touching their cards. Are they required to let the player handle their cards?
Ruling:
No, the opponent is not required to let the player touch their cards. The player must respect their opponent’s preference and avoid handling the arsenal. Instead, the opponent must assist in resolving the action by showing the player the top card of their arsenal (without looking at it themselves), asking whether it should go on top or bottom, and placing it in the chosen position (still without looking). Consent matters!
