The Most Technical Format - Judge's Tower - Part 1

Hey! Great video! Love the idea and the vibe! I usually go with hands openend so everyone can look at the cards in your hand and if you missed something, they can correct you! Except from that, amazing! Keep up the good work!

31:58 one that no one else mentioned: when the token copy of Raff dies, it should trigger Endless Whispers. It doesn't specify "non-token creature", even though tokens will always disappear before they can come back.

7:07 frank needed to activate the jinxed chocker on ricks turn since he gets priority in accordance to rule 800.4j 32:00 the cipher can target the token as this part of cipher happens as part of the resolution of the spell before state based actions are checked 36:10 the trigger on rotfarm skeleton should actually have happened because of rule 800.4j

Dang guess this should have been a shorter video! Thanks for pointing it out! ^^;

23:12, Allure of the Unknown does not specify "may cast until end of turn" and therefore instructs the player to cast the exiled card as part of the resolution of the spell otherwise it will remain in exile and cannot be cast by the opponent unless a different effect instructs otherwise.

34:38, it is Jay's turn, Jay has just finished attacks, and there's multiple triggers on the stack, as he indicated. The correct ordering for multiple triggers that occur simultaneously across every person's turn should follow APNAP -- active player non-active player order, followed by turn order. The moment Jay started resolving the death trigger of when he said "when this dies, it's gonna come back to you", which is what he did first after resolving combat damage and simultaneous deaths, he made an error. Due to APNAP and turn order, since Nathan is after Jay, and Frank is after Nathan before it gets back to Jay, it is Frank's death triggers that should have resolved first, followed by Nathan's, and then lastly Jay's. By Jay not recognizing that Frank's triggers would resolve first, he breaks that rule before Nathan even catches that Jay broke the rule of not activating the phoenix while it was in the graveyard as a response to its own death trigger. So already there was an illegal action taken before that happened.

One missed loss I haven't seen anyone mention yet: at 24:40 Frank casts Mystic Melting targeting his Jinxed Choker and places the Mystic Melting into the graveyard followed by the Jinxed Choker. I believe that's the wrong graveyard order: Jinxed Choker is destroyed and placed into the graveyard as part of the resolution of Mystic Melting, and then the spell goes to the graveyard once it has finished resolving.

Really fun video! Nathan should have lost at 9:47 when he reordered Fossil Find in his graveyard. Fossil Find isn't in the graveyard until it resolves, so you don't get to reorder its position with its own effect.

Good Catch!

Again... You are supposed to play the format with your hand revealed.
