As some of you may know, there was recently a little bit of an update to the Missed Trigger rules. Nothing so far-reaching as the last few; mainly, the new rules exist to clear up exactly WHEN a trigger is considered missed, because there were some that were kind of weird with the MT rules as they were!

But for now, we’re going to focus on one thing that a lot of people are happy about: Bringing some of the Missed Trigger rules changes over to Regular REL. Up until now, you always had to remind your opponent of their missed triggers at Regular REL, as you used to do in every REL for the longest time. But as of the new revisions, you are no longer required to point out your opponent’s triggers at ANY Rules Enforcement Level. It’s still a super nice thing for you to point out your opponent’s triggers at FNM, because it’s not so ‘serious’, but you don’t HAVE to anymore.

So we’ll go at that with a little scenario: you’re at your local FNM doing a nice Gatecrash draft. Your opponent has a Five-Alarm Fire on board, but keeps forgetting to put counters on it when it should trigger. Used to be, you’d have to point that out to him and remind him to put the counters on it; now, you don’t have to unless you really want to.
