Can Rune Runner be chosen with King's Edict?

Ruling: Yes, Rune Runner can be chosen by King's Edict. The players make the choice during resolution, not the spell itself, so Rune Runner's protection from being chosen by enemy spells and abilities does not apply.

Nuances:

• This follows the same logic as Cull the Weak, where player choices during resolution are distinct from the spell doing the choosing
• Rune Runner's ability only protects it from being chosen directly by enemy spells and abilities, not from choices made by players as instructed by those spells
