what happens if i flash in rhystic study

Asked by aced420 7 years ago

i was wondering if i have Leyline of Anticipation out and i flash Rhystic Study in in response to someone casting a spell will they have a chance to pay the 1 mana or do i automatically get one card draw out of this.

Rhystic Study triggers when they cast the spell, which means if you flash it in in response to them casting something, it won't retroactively trigger (nothing in Magic does so), and you don't get to draw a card.

On a side note, abilities always resolve as a whole - if you get to draw a card in this example, they get to decide to pay to prevent you from doing it - the situation that you get to draw a card, but they couldn't decide to pay a mana never comes up (unless they're tapped out, of course)
