PYLdude:
One thing I'd be curious to know is was there a rule in place on Classic Concentration about Takes being taken. As in my opponent has one, then I match the other while he or she still has the first one.

It would seem pretty odd and out of place (not to mention a dick move on my part), but if I wanted to take his/her Take would I be allowed to, or did they specifically forbid players from doing that?

JasonA1:
You could "take the take", but bizarrely, the one time I saw it happen (below, starting at 4:47), doing that meant you no longer had a take yourself - they just canceled each other out.

PYLdude:
See, I would've figured if you could take a Take, you could still use the Take you took. (That's a mouthful.)

Makes for an interesting little strategic play, if you were so inclined to protect yourself from getting a prize pulled off your side. Still is kinda dick move-ish, but it's an option.

As a statement of pure speculation, given the set in the video, I'm betting it was an early rule that they later rescinded for the sake of 1) streamlining the game and 2) making Takes actually get used for why they were invented.

clemon79:
Yeah, the way to protect a prize should be to sit on the Take until your opponent used theirs, then when you get control and make a match, take it back.
