Okay, let's say I am using pile bunker, my opponent has dancing magician, Albrecht. He attacks pile bunker, but I use a dragoenergy to give my pile bunker just enough, then he casts you the man. But I happen to have an extra dragoenergy in hand. Now I wish to cast it, but he argues that I can not, stating that I can basically use only 1 counter per battle due to this chain rule. My comment is that he was going off of an example, and that i should be able to add on to the chain, as the last card of the chain was his counter to my first counter, and that my second counter is simply responding to his first counter which was used to counter my first. His argument was that the chain is limited and once it is made it can't be added to. I then counter argued that I could simply let the chain resolve and then play the second dragoenergy as a new chain, as no rule indicates that I can not and that the battle between my pile bunker and his dancing magician, Albrecht officially began after the chain ended. If you wish to be even more technical about it. Teh chain originally began during the step when a player declares a target. There is the initial attack step which was not really taken into consideration by my opponent, as I could still take this step to farther increase my cards strength.

Regardless, my question is simply on the rights of chaining. The player up and quite after I disagreed, he was easily annoyed when I didn't agree that he was right. If I am questioning this, others may as well, best to clear it.
