If I pay for Unlicensed Armory using Flame Chompers and pay to play Flame Chompers, does Flame Chompers resolve to the board before I have to choose a target with Unlicensed Armory?
Ruling: You must choose the target for Unlicensed Armory when the ability goes on the chain, which is before Flame Chompers is in play. Therefore, you cannot target Flame Chompers with Unlicensed Armory in this scenario.
Sequence:
- Unlicensed Armory ability goes on the chain
- Target must be chosen at this time
- Flame Chompers is not yet in play
- Flame Chompers resolves to the board after target selection
