Really? I thought you could always have chalice checked your opponent?

When the trigger is considered detrimental the penalty is upgraded to a warning:

The tournament rules for missed triggers changed a lot during those times, I couldn't keep it straight because it felt like every few months something different happened.

Does that only cover your own bob triggers and not exactly your opponents tabernacle?

Good point, it's still a gpe but there's no penalty. However is you keep racking up the same gpe

Right, and that is a very large difference. The days of not long past, if you attempted to settle the wreckage them while they have a leyline of sanctity, you were getting a warning. These days, you get told "you can't do that". Cheating through sloppy play is now easier than ever.

What did you say the strategy was?
Even experienced players aren't aware of the missed triggers thing. I miss my tabernacle triggers on cockatrice because I can't leave a die on my deck then have to go back for them

Had an awkward argument with a guy on that

That’s literally what judges are there for.

Yes, I didn't object to the judge call itself, I just could have maybe used some warning before having someone shout directly in front of me when it's late, I'm tired, and the unexpected "you did something wrong" yell spikes casual anxiety. It is what it is, I was just contributing my own instance to the previous mentions and discussion of judge calls. Perhaps maybe there should be some etiquette beyond abruptly shouting while only a couple feet in front of someone?

What? Committing a GPE definitely still carries a warning (in an event where the IPG is in force, which are few and far between, at the moment), and casting a spell with illegal targets is definitely a GPE.

Missed Triggers currently carry no penalty, but 1) there is a warning if it's considered "Generally Detrimental" - there are basic rules of thumb here like "if the card wouldn't be played if it didn't have the trigger, it's beneficial"; there's also a few judges who put together a list with each new set of the ones that are generally detrimental. There's also the remedy of "if it's been less than a turn since it was missed, you can resolve it now" piece, so if your opponent misses a trigger and you want it to happen, you can just make it happen.

Triggers are a really lovely area to try to craft policy around; you can't just write rules that say "these things are mandatory" without ruining something else. If you require all players to manage all the triggers, then you're basically requiring you to play both your and your opponent's deck. If you go too far the other way and just ignore them if they get missed, then players just miss them intentionally. A trigger can only get missed now if 1) both players missed it or 2) one player missed it, and the players not responsible for it didn't bother to say anything.

I won't argue too hard against "cheating through sloppy play is now easier than ever" because in one sense, that's very true. The penalties for just about all infractions have been reduced. As someone who's only ever floor judged (I've head judged very small events, but at that scale, it's the same) so I don't know how things are really tracked in terms of patterns. It's common practice to ask a player if they've received any penalties earlier in the day, but that's hardly a solution. (And if a player cops to it and gets a warning upgraded to a game loss or something; I don't know if anyone actually bothers to check the database or whatever to see if that's happening to the same players over and over.)

based on that video thumbnail, it looks like the hair-fire coloration is reversed, which is hilarious, and is part of why it's cheeto-lookin.

They do it that way for Chandra because that’s how red hair works. It’s paler/yellow as the hair gets thinner.

Nope, set release notes say reconfigure to another creature is fine:

If you have 0 or less life while Cloudsteel Kirin is equipped to a creature, activating reconfigure to attach Cloudsteel Kirin to another creature you control doesn't cause you to lose the game. You would lose the game if Cloudsteel Kirin becomes unattached or becomes attached to a creature you don't control.

RIP this isn't going to be confusing at prerelease at all. What is quality control, and who even needs it?
Between the six thousand releases a year, stupid sets/mechanics, NFTs, and decreasing quality of everything across the board, they've really decided to deposit this game right into the dumpster. It's amazing to watch and also really disappointing because I used to love Magic, but they're making it very hard these days.

I couldn't pinpoint exactly when the shift happened, but probably somewhere in the last five years or so.

Conceptually, NFTs are the perfect idea to implement something like a digital TCG. A set of cards are "printed" and you either get a "booster" of tokens or some singles (either direct from WoTC or another player) and your cards, while functionally identical to others of the same card, are "physically" different cards, like in paper.

MTGO does this just using a database, though, which is the "correct" way to do it, because there's no point in the ledger being decentralized and trustless.

In other words, the best possible use for something like an NFT, a little bit of code that's the same as someone else's little bit of code, but still unique, is still stupid, but everyone here already knew that.
