Can I scoop with Worst Fears as the opponent?
Asked by quesobueno123 10 years ago
I assume no, but you control the opponent so shouldn't you be able to do whatever they could do?
Specifically, the CR reference that leads to that gatherer ruling is:
712.5b The controller of another player cant make choices or decisions for that player that arent called for by the rules or by any objects. The controller also cant make any choices or decisions for the player that would be called for by the tournament rules.
Concession is an element of outside-the-game process which is why it's not covered under the rules for controlling another player. It is a condition under which the game is a loss, and not an actual decision called for by the rules.

Always check the Gatherer rulings before asking a question.

From Gatherer:
4/26/2014 You cant make the affected player concede. That player may choose to concede at any time, even while youre controlling him or her.
