<\/p>Ali is playing against Ned in a Competitive Legacy event your local store is hosting.<\/p>\n
You’re called over by a spectator Sonia. She tells you that Ali activated his Sensei’s Divining Top<\/a>‘s second ability during his main phase, and asked Ned, “Draw a card?” and Ned answered, “Yeah, no effects.” Ali resolved the ability, including drawing a card. However, Ned controls a Spirit of the Labyrinth<\/a>, so Ali should only have put the Top on top of his deck.<\/p>\n The players confirm that this is what happened, and you’re confident that both of them simply forgot the Spirit was in play. What do you do?<\/p>\n Judges, feel free to discuss this scenario on Judge Apps!<\/p>\n [expand title=Answer] We have here a Game Play Error – Game Rule Violation. This looks like a Hidden Card Error but Ali has confirmed his draw with Ned and therefore has gotten “permission” to do so and therefore this can’t be HCE anymore.<\/p>\n You may consider backing up, or leaving the game state as is.<\/p>\n If you want to back up, you should set aside Sensei’s Divining Top, put a random card from Ali’s hand to the top of his library, and then put the Top on top of it.<\/p>\n Ned also gets a warning for Game Play Error – Failure to Maintain Game State[\/expand]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ali is playing against Ned in a Competitive Legacy event your local store is hosting.
