Using a class ability and discarding the class

[floats09]

This makes sense; however, there are situations where it is still a little confusing.

For example, I am a Ranger and am fighting a monster. I declare that I'm going to tame the monster, and thus end my combat... Before I've decided what 5 cards I am going to discard, another person plays a wandering monster on me.

Is this legal or because I already said I was going to tame the monster is the combat over???

As a general metarule, if an ability requires discards, it does not happen until your discards hit the table. In the Ranger example, your opponent absolutely has time to act if you're dithering over your discards.

They have a reasonable time to play cards, as stated here:
