In tournament play, does Ravenbloom Student's +Might trigger need to be announced immediately when each spell is played, or can it be delayed until it becomes relevant (like during a showdown)?

Answer

Ruling: Triggered abilities must be declared when they occur. If you don't declare Ravenbloom Student's trigger and it's still during the same turn, the judge will give your opponent the choice to let you resolve them later or forget them altogether.

Sequence:

  • Ravenbloom Student's ability triggers after each individual spell you play resolves
  • The trigger must be declared at that time, even in the middle of a chain
  • If missed, remedies apply where the opponent decides whether to allow the trigger

Nuances:

  • Players can mutually agree before the match on how strictly to enforce the timing (allowing retrospective addition of might if forgotten)
  • If no such agreement is reached, judges will enforce strict timing requirements
  • The trigger cannot be delayed until a showdown if an opponent could play a reaction in between, as it would then be too late
