Anointed Peacekeeper + Aether Vial
Asked by Andromedus 11 months ago
My opponent casts a spell, putting it on the stack. In response, I flash in an Anointed Peacekeeper using Aether Vial, naming the spell he put on the stack.
Does this essentially work like a beefed up Mana Tithe?
Same question again, except with an ability. Let's say my opponent activates Engineered Explosives, putting its ability on the stack. Same as before I flash in an Anointed Peacekeeper using Aether Vial and naming the Engineered Explosives.
In both cases it's not clear to me what happens, whether the opponent has the option of tapping more mana (or even needs to), whether the EE sac effect goes through (even if the ability fizzles?) and so on.
Thanks in advance for your help!
In both cases, the Anointed Peacekeeper won't affect the spell or ability on the stack. The target has already been cast/activated, and Peacekeeper won't retroactively make it cost more.

Slight personal clarification: it's not a targeted effect, it's a "choose" effect. Precious answer still stands.

The more I think about it, the more I come to the conclusion that the Peacekeeper flashing in won't do anything. However I'd love to be wrong since it's an interaction I'd use, haha.
