I was going to post this in the rules section but I think the answer is evident and this is really about the correct protocol for the situation. I was at a draft last Friday. First time I had played in 2 months. I felt okay with my draft and had won 1st game of a match. 2nd game I had paris'd down to 5 and was in a bad way
but he had no early pressure so I was fighting back. I had cast Rith's Attendant the previous turn and was attacking
Rith's Attendant
Color=Artifact Type=Artifact Creature - Golem Cost=5 IN(U)
Text(IN): 3/3. ; {1},Sacrifice ~this~: Add {R}{G}{W} to your mana pool.
My opponent cast dismantling blow with kicker. I was at 20 life he was at 14 so I told him I would pay 1 and sac the attendant for mana. He had already drawn the cards because he drew them as soon as he played the spell.
Dismantling Blow
Color=White Type=Instant Cost=2W IN(C)
Text(IN): Kicker {2}{U} (You may pay an additional {2}{U} as you play this spell.) ; Destroy target artifact or enchantment. ; If you paid the kicker cost, draw two cards.
If the target is not legal on resolution, the spell is countered and you do not get to draw the two cards. [D'Angelo 2001/03/12]
Note - Also see Kicker, Rule A.20
I told him my saccing the attendant countered his spell and he couldn't draw the cards. He called over the guy who we were using as a judge. This guy is a local guru who has gone to a couple PTQ's. He stuck with my opponent but I got the feeling that he knew it was wrong but wanted to keep this guy appeased. I am a pretty easy going person. I bring these casual decks that are almost good if they had a few more rares. My opponent is this creep who has all the good cards but always makes some bad plays. He kept both our life totals and several times we differed on what mine was.
So my question is should I have made a stink or do what I did accept the judges ruling and lose?
