Today we&#8217;ll be going over another type of trigger and how the Missed Trigger rules work with that type: triggers that change the rules of the game. What kind of trigger would change the actual rules, you might ask? The go-to example is <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/rulestips\/wp-content\/plugins\/lems-mtg-helper\/lems-mtg-helper-cardfinder.php?find=Pyreheart+Wolf&width=223&height=310\" class=\"jTip\" name=\"\">Pyreheart Wolf<\/a>. This little fuzzball from Dark Ascension changes the rules with his trigger- once that trigger resolves, your opponent can&#8217;t block your attacking creatures unless they do so with 2 or more blockers per attacker. That&#8217;s not how Magic normally works, but Pyreheart CHANGES that!<\/p>\n<p>So, how do we deal with it? We know from the past few weeks that the &#8216;timeframe&#8217; you have to notice\/mention your own trigger is pretty much &#8216;once it matters&#8217;. Well, that&#8217;s the same here, as well. You don&#8217;t need to bring up your Pyreheart&#8217;s trigger until it matters- namely, until your opponent doesn&#8217;t follow the new rules that the trigger created. You can keep mum about the trigger until your opponent tries to block, and you&#8217;re fine. Just let your opponent know that they need to be blocking with 2+ creatures and the trigger isn&#8217;t missed, because that&#8217;s the first time it MATTERED. If you let your opponent block with just one creature, you&#8217;ve missed your trigger there.<\/p>\n<p>Pyreheart and other rule-changing triggers pretty much follow the same pattern as the ones we&#8217;ve already covered: you don&#8217;t need to &#8216;demonstrate awareness&#8217; until the trigger would actually matter. Just remember that, and you should be fine!<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s Tournament Tip written by Trevor Nunez<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to our special Christmas Eve edition of Tournament Tuesday, and possibly the most festive entry in our Missed Trigger series!
