Wow, this thread has certainly sparked some debate!
Thanks everyone for the contributions! Looks like this is just an edge case that isn't strictly covered by the rules.
Sure, just in casual play I guess the answer would be to just go with the straight as planning any other alternative leads there anyway, but I would be curious to know what an official ruling would be at a higher-level tournament if such things exist.
The Andrea I quoted created the game Marek, which is about as official we can get; most would accept his ruling even if they disagreed with him.
I find these kind of questions very helpful as they make you focus on specific areas and improve your own knowledge and if an impasse is reached Andrea is always happy to interpret or chip in his intent when he wrote the rules.
You can bet your hat on that, Marek.Originally Posted by flash
