I had 2 Silver Knights out, and had an opponent tell me his Pyroclasm would kill them... then he called me a Spoiler: Show
'fuxking noober'
and quit when I explained that the damage was reduced to 0.

*can't.... resist... rules.... lawyering.... urge....*

The damage is not reduced to zero, it is prevented. Reduced to zero hasn't existed since the Sixth Edition was introduced.

Your Discworld quote is... misquoted.

i just saw a guy in the morningtide forums say that if an effect gave for example all soldiers +1/+1, that tribal instants of the soldier type would become 1/1 creatures...

Actually, he can attack your planeswalker instead of attacking you. He can't move the damage from you to the planeswalker.

See, I knew one would happen sooner or later.

Obviously he was trying to explain it in a simple manner while at the same time being slighty flustered.

He was still right about the scenario.

Rules lawyers are somewhat aggravating...Rules lawyers who don't know the intricacy of the rule they're trying to play?

I had one guy build up his storm count with Shuko , "equip only as a sorcery" and nonsense was what he tried to say. (His plan was to finish me off with Brain Freeze .

Same guy was playing something that involved banding, so I actually marched him down to the computer lab (this was at school) to check the Banding rules online, make sure he was playing them correctly

I had 3 slivers in play at start of turn, with defender. I play a psionic sliver and 4 venomous sliver . Then I ping for the win from venom!

I know what you are thinking - venomous sliver only activates on combat damage. Tell that to MTGO.

WHOOOPS
I just proved beyong any doubt that your wording was wrong yet you insist to keep your flawed wording? You are by far the most horrible designer on this forum. Even Bankai would admit he's wrong when faced with such beyond-doubt proof. And that's saying something. You will have cards in your set. That are worded wrong. And you know they're worded wrong. Just because you won't admit you were wrong even though you and everyone else know you are wrong. Wow, just wow. Unbelievable.
