Answer

Ruling: No, the attack cannot be taken back at competitive OPL. This is a legal misplay, not a gameplay error, and rewinds at competitive events are reserved for illegal moves or broken game states.

Sequence:

  • Player declares attack and unit moves to battlefield with Master Yi Legend
  • Combat begins and Yi's +2 Might ability applies
  • At this point, new derived information becomes available and it's too late for a takeback

Nuances:

  • At casual events like Nexus Night, judges may allow takebacks for such misplays
  • Players are not obligated to help opponents calculate derived information like combat math
  • Players must answer truthfully about board state and public knowledge when asked (e.g., current Might values)
  • However, players don't need to remind opponents about future state changes (like Yi's +2 when combat starts)
  • The information about Yi's ability is public knowledge, but calculating its application is derived information

Does this answer look correct?
