How to Handle Multiple Players Wanting to Take An Action
Asked by Delphen7 1 year ago
Say Player A cast Book Burning with some target.
Player B really wants to take the 6 damage because something of their will trigger if they do. Player C wants to take the damage so that Player B's card doesn't trigger.
Does the game specify a way for B and C to decide who takes the damage, or do they just resort to Rock, Paper, Scissors?

If multiple players need to make a choice at the same time, the active player makes their choice first and then it goes around the table in turn order. If the order in your example is A->B->C and A is the active player, then B will get to make their choice before C does.
101.4. If multiple players would make choices and/or take actions at the same time, the active player (the player whose turn it is) makes any choices required, then the next player in turn order (usually the player seated to the active player’s left) makes any choices required, followed by the remaining nonactive players in turn order. Then the actions happen simultaneously. This rule is often referred to as the “Active Player, Nonactive Player (APNAP) order” rule.

Both players can take 6 damage. C wanting to take damage doesn't override B taking damage.
