Default Wishing ring on malign mirror

Someone played malign mirror on me while I was in combat. The next thing to happen was another player also used his cursed rock to make me tied and losing. Then I wishing ringed the malign mirror to put me back up with all my bonuses. He said I shouldn't have been able to do that since something else was played before the wishing ring.

Default Re: Wishing ring on malign mirror

Usually, the timing wouldn't matter. However, Malign Mirror says explicitly that you have to use the Wishing Ring before you engage in your next fight. Since you didn't choose to use your ring to cancel the Curse immediately (so it couldn't take effect at all), you are now stuck -- you can't lift the Malign Mirror curse during a fight once the Curse has started to affect you.

(I will grant one exception, in the interest of fairness: if the other players tried a bang-bang "Curse! And Curse AGAIN!" play without giving you a chance to use your Wishing Ring to cancel the Malign Mirror, you can say "Wait, no, I'm canceling the Mirror" if you act at once. Munchkin does not usually have cards where precise timing matters; since this one does, it is fair to give you a chance to react.)
