3x Soul's Attendant
2x Auriok Champion
4x Ajani's Pridemate
3x Whitemane Lion
4x Walking Ballista
4x Hangarback Walker
3x Ranger of Eos
4x Oketra's Monument
3x Enduring Renewal
4x Path to Exile
19x Plains
4x Windbrisk Heights
The combo here is Walking Ballista/Hangarback Walker + Enduring Renewal. With Renewal in play, you can cast one of these creatures for 0 mana, it'll enter as a 0/0 and immediately die, then Renewal will return it to your hand. This means infinite cast/ETB/death triggers.
Any thoughts?

But when the Queller re-enters the battlefield, it triggers again and exiles the spell. The previous two triggers then both resolve and do nothing (unless there are multiple spells on the stack).

It was an awkward spot because I can't just counter it as he hasnt/can't actually cast it, but if I tell him that it's not actually game over then he can deduce that he should do something other than casting the Rage.
I don't think it's necessarily poor etiquette, but I think it's poor practice in general. Just have a little patience.

The concept of "failure -> receive advice -> succeed" didn't have an impact on me because it went by so quickly. And I agree with those who said Gideon shouldn't have been so stupid; he had just spent a considerable amount of time gathering forces for this attack, so I doubt he would think "Alright, I think that's everyone, let's charge now!". Also, I agree with the issue of the story being too Gideon-centric. I was hoping it would be a more epic battle with full-scale preparation, and more interactions between Noyan, Kiora, Drana etc. rather than turning it into Gideon's personal mini-arc.
I did enjoy the two previous URs of Ugin and Noyan Dar though, as the characters came across well with unique personalities. The interaction between Jace and Ugin was cool to see and Noyan Dar was a nice dose of comic relief.

Man, I hate speculation season.

I'm comfortable blaming every storyline issue and/or complaint on Commodore Guff. Every single one, past or future.

Right. Somebody mentioned the "show don't tell" thing, and it's absolutely true. People who are newer to the story are not going to know what the author is referring to, and because of the retcons it's nearly impossible to know what is canon and what isn't; this makes actually finding out about this past very difficult.
Nissa's character is confusing, yet bland at the same time.
