In high OPL, does rule 702.2.f.2 (opponent chooses whether to resolve a missed trigger) only apply during the same turn the trigger was missed, with 702.2.f.1 (continue playing) applying if noticed in a later turn?

Answer

Ruling: Yes, rule 702.2.f.2 only applies if the missed trigger is noticed during the same turn it was missed. If the trigger is noticed in a subsequent turn, rule 702.2.f.1 applies and play simply continues.

Sequence:

  • If trigger is missed and noticed in the same turn: The next opponent in turn order chooses whether to resolve it or miss it (702.2.f.2)
  • If trigger is missed and noticed in a later turn: Play continues without resolving the trigger (702.2.f.1)

Nuances:

  • Triggers can be considered missed very quickly in high OPL - even between resolving one effect and asking for reactions
  • Missing a trigger that would have been bad for you results in a warning
  • Missing a trigger that would have been good for you results in no penalty
  • Opponents are not obligated to remind you of your triggers
  • At low OPL, judges have more discretion to allow missed triggers to be placed on the chain
