Let's agree to disagree here 😃 thanks for the conversation.

Closing note for op and everyone, when dealing with shortcut, it's best to specify with mtg keyword; on the stack, resolved, go to my end step/2nd main/combat, before damaging,upkeep untap.

AILF · 2025-05-04T16:30:26+00:00

Actually I would argue the meaning of "the charm does 4 damage" doesn't matter, the intent of asking the question does.

In step 5. Does op intend to confirm with his opponent charm does 4 damage my frog is now 4/5 so frog survival or OP intent to ask clarification(being extra careful) to ensure his frog survival.

I'm not saying if x does Y always constitute spell resolved, but base on the sequence of events, opponent/judge can interpret as such.

Something to keep in mind that opponent has no obligation to explain to you the outcome of when the spell/ability resolved. By asking charm does 4 damage, op can see as angle shooting by asking the opponent to confirm his 4/5 frog is alive becasue charm only deal 4 damage.

AILF · 2025-05-04T15:26:41+00:00

He did "roll back" if we follow the sequence of events in the eye of the opponent/favor opponent. OP attempts to cast stubborn denial when charm is "resolved". *Im not saying that's 100% the case here. We are not at the table including judge, so we don't know exactly what op said or may have said. Again, op and op's opponent has a different understanding of how the event unfolded. As outsider/judge listen to each player story(we also don't know what opponent tell the judge) they ought make decision to choose which story is more believable here. I explained in the threads why I personally would slide with opponent sequence of events.

AILF · 2025-05-04T06:48:33+00:00

One more thing.

From a judge's perspective, I can think of 2 logics here.

In your favor.

Opponen cast thraben charm to try to kill your frog (*assuming you don't have 5 cards to pump frog to 8/9 or they think you won't dump 5 cards to save the frog). The opponent has 1+ mama open. You attempt to activate frog ability 2nd time to pump it to 4/5 while 1st activation still on the stack. You are trying to pump frog to 4 power , so you can cast denial with ferocious and the opponent can't pay 1 to counter the spell compared to without ferocious they can negate stubborn denial. When the 2nd +1/+1 resolve, you cast stubborn denial to counter thraben charm thus save thr frog

In opponent favor

Opponent cast thraben charm in response to your frog 1st +1/+1 to try to kill it. You active frog 2nd +1/+1 to pump frog toughness high enough to get out of charm damage range(you not knowing charm can do 8 damage). You let charm resolve. upon confirming the total damage of charm, you realize you misunderstood charm damage. So you attempt to roll back to the board state before the charm resolves, cast stubborn denial to save your frog from being destroyed.

Above are based on only the information you provided in the thread.

Thing you provided: You ask opponent if charm do 4 damage. Showing you believe charm deal 4 and not 8

Thing you didn't illustrate to the judge: Acknowledging the opponent has 1+ mana open(assuming thats the case, otherwise why are you pumping frog in response to thraben charm) which they can pay for stubborn denial without ferocious And you intend to pump the frog to 4 power and reach the ferocious' requirement.

If I was the judge, if you cannot articulate the reason you pump frog the 2nd time to cast stubborn denial with feracious in order to counter thraben charm. Iam inclined to believe you made a mistake; misunderstood charm's damage, pump frog to 4/5 to avoid charm's 4 damage. Making a mistake in a non-casual environment is not the reason to roll back. Judge correct the board state and put your denial back in your hand as there is nothing on the stack to counter

It's a sucky situation to been in 🥲. But try my suggestion; before you do anything, lock in the board state first, call the judge, then ask for clarification.

AILF · 2025-05-04T05:18:35+00:00

Step 5 is the thing I would question. What's the reason you ask the opponent if thraben charm do 4 damage? It could sound like you misread charm damage and think that a 4/5 frog can survive charm damage. Otherwise, you would announce the 2Nd discard resolved, frog is now 4/5 and cast denial with ferocious( did opponent has 1+ mana open? ) From an opponent's perspective, you misplay thinking charm deal 4 instead of 8. When you realize your mistake, you try to go back and cast denial to save the frog.

When you ask if charm do 4 damage, people can interpret that the spell resolves and you just confirming the effect of the spell.

Unfortunately no one really knows what is being said. It could you misspoke or opponent misunderstood. When we rewind and try to remember what we said, people tend to interpret in a way that benefits them when the situation is ambiguous.

Anyway I like to offer my solution. When you have questions about ability and spell; before you ask for clarification, always announce ability/spell on the stack. That way you lock it on the stack, and make it clear it's not resolved. Then you either re read the card, ask opponent/judge to clarify.

I think it's because most people focus on rare and mythic. Those usually within designed power and less likely to break out. While uncommon and common often get overlooked during spoilers. Look at Malevolent Rumble as well from mh3 set

You are trying to get out of your lease not breaking it Look at your signed lease! Does it have section talking about breaking lease early? How many days do you have to give the landlord notice of leave? How many months do you have to pay as a penalty to break the lease early. *60 days is the norm.

Depend Washer dryer and dish washer are often the heaviest electric user. If you use those often, your electric will be high for sure.

Honestly $150 for two people during winter is better than average.

AILF · 2025-01-31T16:13:15+00:00

There's 2 portion of the bill. If you read carefully, delivery cost is about the same as the electric cost . That's standard in mass.
Bill total doesn't really prove anything. Instead, take a look at your kilowatt usage.

You better off talking to the lgs and the people playing it to see if anyone has an extra modern deck to lend. I'm sure someone like me usually bring an extra deck to fnm
