Only way to top this is to now tell the pat and cedric that the next match is going to be the other two G/W devotion players. Live the dream Nick Miller, live the dream.

No, because a pair of Enduring Scalelords would guarantee an end to the drat game.

Nah, that was my bad. I thought you wanted to follow a WW with Anafenza the Foremost.

Also, wee, cheating. See if you can catch what happened.

During Thoughtseize, Roby put his Hero's Downfall perfectly underneath another card, keeping his opponent from seeing it and having him discard it.

This is a good catch, can any judges chime in on what the potential penalties are for being caught doing this?

only a rules advisor, but since it appears to be intentional (and pretty demonstratable since its on camera), it would fall under Unsportsmanlike Conduct - Cheating, which results in disqualification (and I'm pretty sure this one isn't downgradable by the head judge)

pretty sure this doesn't fall under Tournament Error - Communication Policy Violation since he was clearly doing it to gain advantage.

Yeah, A big flaming stink got it, but I'd say that's Cheating. Could be a lower penalty, but it seems absolutely intentional and uncorrected.

EDIT: Yeah, it could be a Communication Policy Violation at the very least if it was a legit accident, and they called a Judge immediately and all that.

I've just noticed that new Sidisi, Zurgo and Anafenza all use their clan's mechanics. Does that mean we get another way to grant Rebound in Taigan? A trigger on the copy going off could be interesting.

That's because they have creature mechanics; I imagine Taigam is just going to be more fake Prowess ("whenever you cast a non-creature spell, [insert cool thing happening]").

She isn't the clan's human leader anymore though. That kind of ability is something I'd expect to be a bit considered Mythic level anyways (delayed triggers; requires the player to know what Rebound is, since its not on the card).

He already got away with it - it was ruled a dexterity error.

You could give him a weird revision on Snapcaster, like, flash, target sorcery or instant on the stack gains rebound but I think that might be a bit complex.

Maybe "the next spell you cast"? I dunno, I'm not even sure there is a Taigam (which will make sad)

There's gonna be a blue leader I'm sure. We haven't seen Surrak either and we weren't supposed to see Ghost Waifu either (that was Maro's preview card, someone else just leaked it).

I could see a big effect like "Instants and sorceries you cast have rebound", but that would have to be prohibitively expensive to be printable.

Watching the inventor of Jeskai Tokens play his deck is loving beautiful. So effortlessly beats a super competent player, on the play, with a perfectly good draw.

Its one of those rare cards that gets worse when you read the large amount of text. 4 CMC is probably just too much for a Prowess -deck card that doesn't trigger Prowess itself. That slot is probably gonna be taken by Ojutai's Command or Narset Transcendent.

Wizards has traditionally been hesitant to go hog wild on cheats from cameras unless there is several cases of it since it is a different level of enforcement from non-camera matches.

Is there any reason why it would be a bad idea to place the onus on the owner of the hand to make sure all their cards are properly revealed? Like, if you put it down initially and one card is covered up, that's a dexterity error, but when you don't look at it and go, "oh hey, I should make sure it's obvious that I have a Hero's Downfall there," that's where the dishonesty comes in.
