If Kaisa Survivor is bounced before Falling Comet resolves, can you target Pouty Poro twice with Deflect, then choose not to pay for Deflect so both triggers don't resolve?

Ruling: Yes, you must target Pouty Poro with both Deflect triggers (if no other units exist), but you can choose not to pay for Deflect. When you decline to pay, the triggers are denied and don't finalize (they don't go on the chain and don't resolve).

Sequence:

• Falling Comet targets are chosen
• Both Deflect triggers from Pouty Poro occur
• You must target Pouty Poro twice (if no other valid targets)
• You choose whether to pay for each Deflect trigger
• If you decline to pay, the triggers are denied and don't finalize

Nuances:

• You can choose to target and then not pay even if there are other viable targets on the board
• Denied triggers don't "whiff" or "fizzle" - they simply don't finalize and never go on the chain
• Riftbound uses the term "whiff" instead of "fizzle", but that only applies to effects that do resolve
