Answer

Ruling: Yes, you can choose not to pay the Deflect cost, which prevents the trigger from being finalized to the chain.

Sequence:

  • Play Snapvine and target a Deadbloom with Deflect
  • Choose not to pay the Deflect cost
  • The trigger is not finalized to the chain and does not resolve

Does this answer look correct?
