Feb 21	comment	Why was Gifts Ungiven so popular? You also have the option of only finding 2 cards and in that case they both go to the graveyard.

Jan 12	comment	Is it legal to take advantage of my opponent's priority mistakes? @ikegame umm, yes they do `716.1a The rules for taking shortcuts are largely unformalized. As long as each player in the game understands the intent of each other player, any shortcut system they use is acceptable.`
Jan 12	comment	Is it legal to take advantage of my opponent's priority mistakes? @ikegami When you say you are going to cast something and your opponent says something along the lines of "okay" that means they agreed to let it resolve. If you then don't cast it you have violated a rule (most likely a player communication rule)
Jan 11	comment	Is it legal to take advantage of my opponent's priority mistakes? @ikegami when A allows B to cast the spell A is essentially saying he isn't going to counter it. Consider the situation where B has 2 big creatures x and y and A may have a counter. B wants to cast x without it getting countered so he plays y in an attempt to get A to cast his counter. When A doesn't counter it B then takes it back so he can instead cast x. That is most certainly not legal even if I can't cite a specific rule. In your example A gave up priority under the assumption that B was going to cast something he could respond to. There is a rule in the Tournament rules covering this.
Jan 11	comment	Is it legal to take advantage of my opponent's priority mistakes? @ghoppe That may be how you play, but it took me very little time to find the two examples I just added to my answer of high level players skipping their opponent's priority when declaring attackers.

Jan 11	comment	Is it legal to take advantage of my opponent's priority mistakes? You can't say you are going to cast something and then not cast it (unless you cannot cast it due to not being able to pay the cost, or any other reason that would prevent you from legally casting the spell)

Jan 11	comment	Is it legal to take advantage of my opponent's priority mistakes? @ikegami The question you asked on Wizard's Rules Q&A doesn't really represent the same situation as was discussed here. That said, I believe the discussion that resulted indicates my original answer is in fact correct.
Jan 10	comment	How to resolve Loser Wild Flare I agree that your interpretation of the rules is probably correct. I just don't like when people assume things like this (skipping phases) when I can fairly easily come up with examples of where it would matter. Ill probably accept this answer after a few more days if no one else answers with opposing views.
Jan 10	comment	Is it legal to take advantage of my opponent's priority mistakes? Either the first steps must occur as listed, or the other player must interrupt it at any point where they would have priority.
Jan 10	comment	Is it legal to take advantage of my opponent's priority mistakes? If you don't interpret someone trying to cast a spell when they don't have priority as them suggesting that you first pass priority then they cast the spell, then what do you interpret it as? Can you provide some of those examples?
Jan 10	comment	How to resolve Loser Wild Flare I think you may have misunderstood part of my question. When I listed the Oracle, Vacuum, and Chosen Flares, they were examples of things you do on the reveal phase where it could matter a lot if encounter cards are still played after the Loser wild flare has been played.
