SCGVEGAS - Legacy - Round 8 - Sonny Araricio vs Emin Hatamian [Magic: the Gathering]

[@RagingPoo]

The fact is that Sonny rushed things. I could tell without even hearing their exchange that he did his best to slam the spells in such a way to not give him an opportunity to Force at the right time. Douche play on Sonny's part and probably a little bit Emin's fault for not stopping him appropriately. Any player in their right might would have forced the second to last spell at the very least, but it did not seem he was given that opportunity.

[@NoahCRP]

Yay, Belcher! My fav legacy deck.

Can't deathrite himself: "each opponent loses 2 life". Emin cri

[@ZephyrBro]

Just to clear things up, he slammed the last 3 cards while I was reading and said that I agreed to let them resolve when I actually confirmed him casting the spells (didn't mean they resolved) the judge was looking away during this and I told him I wanted to force the seething song. The judge then turns around and tells me that I confirmed the spells resolved even though I never said they did. At that point, my head was pounding way too hard from the migraine I had, and on top of that, I was angered majorly by the ruling and way too flustered to think straight and to appeal. So there's my end of it.

Want to explain why you would 'confirm someone casting their spells' when there is nothing on the table to justify that confirmation. When someone casts a spell and you say 'okay' or something around those lines, it isn't to say 'okay you cast that spell, now let me think about countering it', it's to say 'okay that resolves'...

[@SkepticalAaron]

Yeah, you can't do that. If you're saying "OK" or doing anything to "confirm" their spell then you are saying it resolves. What you just said you were doing is acting in an ambiguous way to try to confuse your opponent so you could gain the advantage of knowing what they were going to cast next.

[@TriStateYugimons]

Should've just countered the first ritual man

[@EivindDahl]

pwned555 I definitely have a bad habit of saying "okay" implying it's on stack, having to catch up to myself saying "it's on the stack, thinking." I think it's a reasonable use of language, but guess I should kick it as I see how it can cause confusion.

[@pwned555]

It's definitely not reasonable language. It's a super easy way to cheat and see what someone is doing next and then take it back (not saying you were doing this but the fact that it can be done makes it unreasonable). Imagine you're playing MTGO, they play a spell, the client puts it on the stack and then you get priority. If you say okay once, that's it, the spell has resolved. You don't get priority between them casting a spell and it going on the stack so there is nothing to say okay to, it just happens.

that bug delver player is sooo bad, it hurts to watch.

[@HasenmannChing]

I wanted to see a nice Belcher game, but Sonny being a whacko destroyed the experience. Thanks Sonny.
