Hullbreacher/Arcane Denial


If I counter a spell with AD, will I be able to flash in Hullbreacher before my opponent draws his two cards?

I'm going to assume for the purpose of this question you are countering a spell on your opponent's turn and using all your mana so you want to cast Hullbreacher on your turn.

Yes, this is possible. At the beginning of your upkeep AD delayed trigger goes off wanting the opponent to draw two. As with nearly everything in the game you can respond to this trigger with hullbreacher.

Thx!

I feel the need to add that arcane denial’s delayed draw trigger says “Its controller may draw up to two cards...” so while flashing in hullbreacher will prevent that draw, they can always choose not to draw those cards after hullbreacher enters and as a result deny you the treasure. Their choice on “yes I’m drawing” or “no I’m not drawing” happens on the resolution of arcane denial’s delayed trigger and therefore isn’t something you can respond to, you can only flash in hullbreacher when priority is passed to you after the trigger goes on the stack (which is before they have to make their choice to draw or not draw).
