Kenji Egashira/NumotTheNummy finally won one of his MTGO top 8s and won the MOCS qualifier. Good for him. Look at this shockingly mediocre draft deck that he 3-0/6-0ed with in the top 8: https://twitter.com/NumotTheNummy/status/947297998752452609 Ixalan limited is so incredibly bad but at least something good came from it.

You know what else is bad? Standard. Jesus Christ. Normally I love standard, it's so disappointing. Store championship was 60% UGx Energy.... again. I played against it every round.... again. Rivals can't come soon enough and there better be a B&R that axes Attune and maybe also Rogue Refiner to go along with it or imma be real sad

I won my Game day by playing U/W Approach and making GBS threads on Energy. The deck just auto wins game one, and winning one out of two of the next game isn't too hard to do with a sideboard package of Gearhulks and Regal Caracles.

Rules question: I was playing against a friend at modern FNM. He has a goyf out, I have a Thalia and TKS out. He thoughtseizes during first main, takes a card, attacks, and I say no blocks, 5 damage. I then realize he only paid 1 for thoughtseize instead of 2 because of Thalia, which is relevant because he only has 3 lands and was likely going to play another goyf in main 2. I point it out as soon as I realize it, after we have declared damage. What's the fix? We eventually rewinded back to the casting of the thoughtseize, with it on the stack, and he chose how to pay the 1 extra and had a chance to reconsider his attack. Was this the correct fix? This store didn't have a judge present so we went off if assumptions with past experiences .

I'm pretty sure the answer is your opponent gets a free mana and you both get warnings to be more careful but I'm not entirely sure. Rewinding is only supposed to be done if it's easy to do and no advantage can be gained, and knowing about the no blocks seems like it's relevant enough. I'm also not a judge so for all I know I'm exactly wrong.

I'm also not a judge so for all I know I'm exactly wrong. We kinda determined there wasn't advantage either way because we had both seen all of each other's cards and the thoughtseize is what he had drawn for the turn so there was zero unknown information. I suppose knowledge that I wouldn't block is somewhat relevant. We figured that the extra tax isn't something you can try to catch your opponent on, like casting into a chalice.

The extra mana is both players' responsibility. If you intentionally try to cast a spell under a Thalia without paying the tax, you're cheating. I definitely think rewinding to the spell being on the stack is wrong either way. Basically, you can't rewind to before the Thoughtseize because he knows your hand now and might just not cast it. I don't like rewinding to the Thoughtseize being on the stack because he could take a different card now that he knows you want to race, and I don't like making him pay the extra mana because you both agreed at the time that the correct cost was paid. I think of the 3 the last option is most defensible because it's what the game state should look like, but I still think the right thing is just to let it go.

Yea it's not a "missed trigger" situation, if someone does not pay thalia tax then they have made an illegal play. If it's a fnm the fix is to say "sorry" then pay the extra mana. At a competitive event the judge's fix will be either back things up to when the spell was being paid for, or if the game has developed too much to back up, then just have you play on. Either way both players get a warning. Moving through combat would probably be enough for the judge to say things can't be backed up. Source: Not a judge but I play thalias and even at comp rel people forget to pay the tax pretty often.

Yeah I've been been playing Thalia's for a long time and sometimes at casual events I don't notice people not paying correctly. I'm pretty hawkish about it at comp REL and have never actually had to think about that scenario until now. I just thought it was an odd situation because of us both having perfect knowledge of hands at the time.

I have played humans at Comp rel one time and the amount of judge calls I had from opponents forgetting Thalia was kind of headache inducing. Two of them in situations where the spell in question resolving meant winning or losing for my opponent. Leyline of sanctity, chalice, and Thalia must cause so many judge calls in modern.

i really like the minotaur PW. Just a matter of the CMC being a bit on the high side for him to be playable. To bad he couldn't have been 4cmc, he'd be playable in modern somewhere.

Suppose if a meta comes around were there are few 4+ CMC creatures he can sort of protect himself, but you probable don't play 5 man's Walters there. It's a neat design though. Maybe if he could it on being played he'd seen better.
