I had a question about a couple softlock cards I was planning to include in my new deck...
if I have a Rhystic Tutor in play, and say my opponent casts a spell and decides to not pay the extra 1 to prevent my draw, can I then counter the spell and still draw the card?
My same question applies to Mystic Remora, which is worded kind of weirdly with "successfully casts". So if my opponent decides to pay the extra 4 to prevent my draw, can I still counter the card?
I believe you meant Rhystic Study. The answer is the same for both Rhystic Study and Mystic Remora. As soon as an opponent casts a spell the enchantment triggers. Paying the tax or drawing a card is not dependent on the spell resolving. You may even cast a Counterspell you draw off of the trigger to counter the spell that caused the enchantment to trigger.
The term "successfully casts" is obsolete. Any card that uses that phrase in its printed wording has received errata to refer just to a spell being cast.
