As a message of balance: I have always been suspicious of the suppression of communication on a topic, for the reason that "everybody knows." I speak for myself, not "the average MMI reader," and perhaps I am out of the loop, but I "didn't know," and I find it helpful that someone takes the time to quickly summarize goings-on.
Information on the Internet is easy to manage. If I choose to skim, I can skim. Eleven hundred words might be tl;dr for many, and scrolling might cause them some inconvenience. But considering the role you appear to have accepted, glossing over a significant phenomenon with little comment may be considered irresponsible in a sense.
And for the record, I personally could not have executed it in a superior manner.
Thanks.

"12/1/2004 "You" is always Jinxed Choker's current controller. "
I wanted to confirm this.
If the ability goes on the stack:
"At the beginning of your upkeep, Jinxed Choker deals damage to you equal to the number of charge counters on it. "
and then you take control of it, does the previous controller take the damage or do you?
IOW, when an ability goes on the stack specifying "you" does it at that point identify a specific player?
I just want to keep Jinxed Choker in the game playing multiplayer. My J.C. would otherwise go to the graveyard if it deals lethal damage to another player?

Is this typical anywhere else? I know "while supplies last" is always the disclaimer, but...

If you copy a spell such as Might of Old Krosa you do not get the "bonus" regardless of what phase this happens, because it is getting copied not "played." Right or wrong?
So Might of Old Krosa copied once will only yield a +6/+6 max.

If I have Quicksilver Fountain and my opponent has Privileged Position for example, he doesn't put a flood counter on his non-Island. He chooses but I can't target.
Is this the same?

Let's say you have three cards in your library and they're all BoTs. And you cast one. Thrumming Stone is in play. The one you cast triggers Ripple and you reveal the other three. Does the first one resolve and return to the library before you play the other ones without paying their mana cost?

Very helpful to get me to understand, with each of your explanations.
Thanks!

This is my first post asking a rules q here.
I asked this of a Level 3 judge and am not sure of his answer.
I have S. Vengeance in play. I have Creature A equipped w Lox. Warhammer.
Creature A goes to the graveyard.
With the S. Vengeance ability, does Creature A do the extra damage of +3/+0 coming from the Warhammer?
If he does this extra 3 damage I gain life too.
My thinking is Creat A remains equipped (or enchanted if that is also the case) until it is put in the graveyard, and therefore retains abilites from any attached items, via Last Known Information.
Level 3 judge says not.
Thanks for considering this.

Some "little" things I've seen (or heard of):
During deck registration at a sealed event, someone slips a Birds of Paradise off the table and replaces it with a crap rare.
During deck registration at a sealed event, someone hands a kewl new rare to look at to a friend looking over his shoulder. The friend hands back something else.
I had a guy come up behind me during deck registration, "eww" and "ahh", and attempt to pick up a kewl new rare I had in front of me. I snatched it down.
Some clown regular at tourneys here I now watch all the time, shuffles up my deck for the first game and then gleefully exposes the bottom card, announces the mana cost, and expects that to be the determiner of who starts first. I was a noob. I went along with this annoying casual practice.
Same match this clown activates Thoughtpicker Witch and quickly grabs three cards off the top of my deck (should be two), glances at the bottom one and puts it back. Next time he tries it again and I slap his hand down before he can get a glance, and I inform him I'll give him the two cards.
I had a guy rush into his combat phase and make a big deal about the fact that I wanted to do something before combat. I could imagine this guy badger a kid into letting him have the combat before his opponent can do a main phase action.
Whenever in doubt call a judge. Like most players, I was embarassed at first at calling attention to myself in a situation. Now I kind of get off on it.

Edit Only to clarify: PS: I don't call a judge frivolously. But I do so even if my opponent says he's certain of the situation, when I am not.
