Talk:Demon Lord, Asmodai/@comment-26523472-20160129030148/@comment-6102960-20160129083854

Asmodai is a fun little derp is he not... Okay, the situation should go like this:

"I activate Dangerous Back-Drop and I target your Drum Bunker Dragon (I do not discard because I have declared the ability)"

"I cast Dragobond on Drum!"

"....Okay, since you did that, I am just not gonna discard... (Nothing happens)"

You can opt not to discard after targeting if your opponent counters, because the "Discard a card" is part of the resolution of Dangerous Back-Drop. This is all because Asmodai has the words "you may" in his ability text. The same applies for Armorknight Cerberus: Declare his Full Fire ability, opponent responds, you dont need to discard a soul.
