"Wait, I didn't pass priority!"

"It says 'you may,' so you missed the trigger!"

"That effect applies on Layer 4, not Layer 5!"

Seems every Magic player these days is also gearing up to be a rules lawyer, huh? Hey, every game has its rules and it's only fair for all those involved to follow them; I'm not trying to say otherwise. But would it kill some of these guys to just lighten up a bit? Every missed trigger has them jumping down your throat as if the Pro Tour was on the line. So how do you throw it back in the faces of these officious little pricks?

Forget rules lawyers and Magic judges, you're upping the stakes to real lawyers and real judges. How do you sap as much fun out of the game for your uptight opponent as he does for you? Treat him to a game with all the excitement of a Matlock rerun. You've got a witness, a bailiff, a jury, and even Judge Isperia presiding. Tie up your foe's creatures in red tape and find him guilty of aggravated removal and direct damage. If your Stern Judge can't sweat 'im out, you can always time things out with a filibuster. And remember - it's not over until the Fall of the Gavel!
