It's totally fine - and in fact expected, and good - to have questions that go beyond reading the rules, applying them, and repeating them to people.

Dec 11, 2017 at 23:23	comment	added	Cascabel Mod		Broadly I agree with you - it's useful to have a canonical question, and maybe to link to it in a tag wiki. However, I wouldn't call things "dicey" here. I know these questions are not always as rigorously answerable as black-bordered MtG rule questions, but that's a really high bar. It's totally fine to have questions that involve a little bit of good judgment and might have a few different good possibilities. The people answering (and voting) just have to be aware of this, and write (and upvote) answers that try to help the OP decide what to do, and not write (or upvote) useless answers.
