For the next scenario, Eric C sent in the following from a game played at Grand Prix Vegas.

The Situation

You know the opponent has Mana Leak in their deck, and considered doing something in response to an earlier spell when you had 3 mana untapped.

(Click for big.)

It’s the start of your main phase, the turn after your opponent bounced Mirror Entity with Aethersnipe. The note on the opponent’s face-down card in hand is that you suspect it is a Mana Leak.
