Sorry

Enchantment

Before playing any spell, if a copy of that spell card is in any graveyard, the spell's caster may say "Sorry." If he or she does not, any other player may counter the spell by saying "Sorry" as it is cast.

If any player says "Sorry" at any other time, Sorry deals 2 damage to that player.

Unset rules are weird, and you are free to interpret them as you wish. However, under a traditional interpretation of the rules, this will not work. Here's why:

Sorry does some strange things with timing. First, it asks the casting player to say "sorry" before announcing that they cast the spell. Second, it asks the other players to "sorry" "as the spell is being cast".

It's the "as the spell is being cast" that throws a wrench in your plan. The non-active player(s) must say "sorry" during the spell's being cast in order to counter the ability--once the spell has finished being cast, there opportunity to respond by saying "sorry" has already passed.

card:__'s ability is an activated ability, which means you can only use it when you have priority. Players do not gain priority mid-resolution of a spell. As such, by the time you could activate card:__'s ability, the spell has already been cast, and it is no longer the "as the spell is being cast" period in which you can say "sorry."

(formatting got all wonky due to the underlines in the card's name).

ok so me and my friends are planning to play edh with un cards that we have created our banlist for. and now while I was tinkering, i realised an interaction: if i have ____ in my graveyard and Sorry on the battlefield. my opponent casts a spell that isnt in someones grave.then in responsen i can make that card in my grave then say sory to counter it.they cant say sorry before they cast the spell because it doesnt share a card name in a grave so if they do they just end up taking 2 damage. so is this combo shortly that i can counter my opponents spells by paying 1 if that spell doesnt share a card name with another card in a grave? here is the second piece of the combo in case it doesnt show up in the reference https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=74252

As a Blue player, I find your Control Magic over your people to be heinous, sir. You supply drugs and do cruel mutilations to unleash the Beast Within your women and children. You have an interminable wave of Flock of Rabid Sheep that Overruns my Wall of Ice. I say to you, Mr. Green, how dare you. You do not care if I counter any creature of yours. You can just spend your mana however you want. Your color suffers from such a case of inflation that it isn't even funny. For twenty years now, your government has been in the shadow of the Blue trying to convince others to take a Double Take at our policies. How dare you, sir. How dare you. What kind of Gerrymandering did they teach you in college? Do you think it's funny for the squirrels? They left you because you imprisoned Squirrel Nests on awful Squirrel Farms. You cruelly mistreated squirrels. Well I say to you, Mr. Green, that your so called "Green Party" is a sham. You have no Team Spirit. You only watch out for yourselves. I speak to all the elves, and squirrels when I say that I am Sorry for your grave mistreatment from Timmy, Power Gamer. He has been a cruel leader. Join us. We will make you free with our Omniscience and allow you to Enter the Infinite. Do not believe the Green Party's lies about our Censorship and failed Checks and Balances. It is only Common Courtesy that we extend our hand to free you from this Polymorphist's Jest. This I promise you: You will be free.

Sincerely,

The Blue Bureaucracy
