The talk of the town this week was High Perfect Morcant. Not only for the new keyword Blight which is coming in Lorwyn Eclipsed, but also the big lady hoof-toes. Now, I’m no Quentin Tarantino but I am an aficiona-toe and we are on the internet where we enjoy a good tootsie, so tell me: what Magic art feet-ures your favorite trotters?

Minh (PharmacistJudge) — 8:24 PM
I am going to weigh in here. The policy was made in 2018 and the line is drawn at information gained. People are arguing that Ken allowing the spell to resolve is information gained. It isn't. Look at the boardstate and importantly look at Ken's decklist (which is open information). Ken has {U/G}{G.B} and Cavern. His decklist has Bitter Triumph (non-relevant spell to the situation) and Urgent Necropsy (which he can't cast). He already cycled his 1 copy of Webstrike Elite earlier. The funny thing is, this takeback is allowed because it is the World Championship. This is a rare time where decklists are open and public. So Seth Manfield knows Ken has no responses because he has seen the decklist. So Ken saying something resolves is not information gained.
If you allow that it resolves as being information if the player has no potential plays, players are incentivized to say "it resolves" as fast as possible to close the takeback window. That makes the tournament environment much worse. The rules for takebacks are part of the tournament rules. The tournament rules are the same whether you are at a local FNM or the World Championship. If you want little timmy at FNM to have takebacks, you must allow the world champions to have some as well. Consistency is key especially when writing policy.

The first of the Lorwyn stories dropped this week. Go read them! But for first article spoilers: four Strixhaven students get tricked into Lorwyn and accidentally awaken the Carrier of Twilight. Now, I done messed up a few times in my younger years… but I never tripped and fell and accidentally triggered The Great Aurora, so tell me: what was your biggest mistake in college?
