At a Standard PTQ, Amun casts a Celestial Purge<\/a> on Nefertiti’s Vexing Devil<\/a>; as the spell resolves, Nefertiti puts the Vexing Devil in her graveyard. Amun activates Gideon Jura<\/a>‘s third ability, turning him into a creature, then attacks with Gideon and all his other creatures.<\/p>\n Nefertiti casts a Tragic Slip<\/a>, targeting Gideon Jura. Now they both realize that the Vexing Devil is in the graveyard instead of in exile, and they call a Judge. After some investigation it is determined it was an honest mistake.<\/p>\n What is the infraction, penalty, and fix (if any)?<\/p>\n Judges, feel free to discuss this scenario here<\/a>!<\/p>\n [expand title=”View Answer”]<\/p>\n The infraction committed is a Game Rule Violation. Vexing Devil<\/a> should have been put into exile, not into the graveyard; because the effect that caused the infraction is controlled by Amun, but the illegal action is taken by Nefertiti, they both receive a Warning for Game Play Error \u2013 Game Rule Violation.<\/p>\n Backing up is something the Head Judge can decide to do, but is not an ideal solution. A lot of decisions have been made since the error occured (activate Gideon Jura<\/a>, attack with everything, cast Tragic Slip<\/a>) and backing up would probably affect the course of the game.<\/p>\n When not backing up (which isn’t perfect either), we don’t apply any kind of partial fixes, but the IPG provides 4 exceptions to this rule, the relevant one says: \u201cIf an object is in the wrong zone, and it is within a turn cycle of the error, put the permanent in the correct zone.\u201d Vexing Devil<\/a> should be put into exile from the graveyard. So, what is our final verdict? There are situations like these that don’t have a clear best way to handle them! You as Head Judge should decide on the spot whether you want to back up or apply a partial fix. Use your judgment, that’s what you are a Judge for. Consensus was also reached among the Knowledge Pool team; most of us would not back up, because of the number of decisions that have affected the game.<\/p>\n [\/expand]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" At a Standard PTQ, Amun casts a on Nefertiti’s ; as the spell resolves, Nefertiti puts the Vexing Devil in her graveyard.

\nNow, if Tragic Slip<\/a> resolves, it checks whether a creature has died this turn. Although Vexing Devil<\/a> was put into a graveyard, it didn’t technically die, it just was put there accidentally. So Morbid does not apply and Tragic Slip<\/a> only gives Gideon -1\/-1 until end of turn.<\/p>\n
