Title: Interupting Magic Charms?

Post by: RedemptionAggie on August 23, 2011, 05:53:57 PM: I think you do have initiative, there's just no way to interrupt/negate Writ/Charms/GiC (once they've been used) if they're not in battle.

I don't understand. If you have initiative, why can't you negate your removal?

Because no card currently in the game can target the last artifact used.
