We're doing an entirely old-border commander deck thing with some friends. Need a ruling on two old cards.
On the field is [[Nebuchadnezzar]] and [[Telepathy]]. For the purposes of this, let's say that Telepathy has the earlier timestamp, if that matters.
Can I activate Neb for zero and still force discard?
My gut says NO because Neb (or "The Chad" as my kid calls him..."the only Magic card with 'Chad' in its name") has the rider of "cards revealed this way."
And the little friends event thing originally was "all premodern sets, plus Legends, but using the commander legality list," but has kinda morphed to "just a commander deck with all old border cards including the commander." It has been a neat design challenge.
