It's not that they don't know the rule, it's the fact that they refuse to believe me when I explain it three times and give them a CompRules quote.

I had one who tried to Trickbind his Dark Depths when it came to play, therefore, as he said "Putting Marit Lage directly into play." I replied with "No, you can't do that. Dark Depths has no triggered ability/comes-into-play effect. There is no "Whenever/when/at the beginning" at the start of its text."


There's another one who attacked with a Groundbreaker that was blocked by my Boros Recruit . He was all "Hey, trample!" and I was all "Hey, first strike!". He called me a noob, then quit.

In a multi game several weeks ago, one guy got out several of the shroud-faeries ( Scion of Oona ). Next turn, another player kept trying to kill them with shock, ping, pacify, Oblivion Ring, and basically every other way to target something.

We'll call the n00b guy Rob.

Rob: I'm going to shock your Scion.
Me: You can't.
Rob: Why not? It says other faeries.
Me: He has 2 out they protect each other.
Rob: no they don't.
Me: yes they do. That's why all his other faeries are AT LEAST 3/3

Rob: Fine, I'll ping it with my pyromancer.
Me: You... Can't... You can't target it with anything. The only thing you can do to kill them is Wrath or mass damage.

Rob: Fine, Crib Swap.
Me: ...
Rob: Then I shock the other one.
Me: You. Can't. Do. That.
Rob: Why?
Me: Because you can't target them. Notice the spells say TARGET CREATURE.
Rob: But I can remove it from the game...
Me: no.

Rob: Fine, I Oblivon Ring one.
Me: [same conversation]
Rob: That's NOT FAIR! I should be able to target his guys! That card should be banned! Creatures should always be easy to kill!
Me: No, that's kinda why they printed them...

Hey, this stuff happens...I played my first month of the game with nothing to go on but the 9th-edition beginner rules, and believing that a player got an additional untap step during their opponent's untap...thus, thinking that got a raw deal because vigilance is a worthless ability. :p
