Title: Rules
Post by: Rass on March 03, 2014, 05:43:59 PM
Well I didn't want to hijack another post so I figured I would start a new one. What fun or annoying rules have you dealt with while playing.

My favorite is I play one person who will omit the rules or not read all the rules of the card unless it helps him. I don't know every card in my opponents deck (his) so to speed things up I just ask him what it does. But now I have to read every card to make sure. It really slows down the game. Example he was using  {Birthing Pod} as an instance. Then I used an event deck and he corrected me I had to use it as a sorcery.

Also when people are watching and they want to "help make sure the rule are being done right" but when you watch them and correct them they throw a his say fit.

Most annoying rule for me is priority, and i'm a judge.

Explaining it is even worse.

I just really get frustrated with myself when I can't figure out the rules on my own after reading the cards. I feel so dumb everytime I have to consult a ruling or ask a judge. It's not that common of an occurance, but it does bother me!

Many cards are very broad... I think the cards need better umm descriptions.

If you're referring to older cards, many have been re-errataed to have better explanations.
