Heard lots of good reviews for Sword Art online, need to bite the bullet and dive into the second episode.

Best anime's still One Piece. NOTHING EVER COMPARES TO IT.
SAO is good when the focus is on the actual MMO element and not girls swooning over the protagonist.

No need to cast it. Attack, he charms your first one. Just cast the second after. Force him to answer your threats during his turn.

I have to add that proper communication is key to avoid these misunderstandings. Whenever I come across this scenario, I will always confirm with the opponent when he is trying to cast the kill spell.

Me: Ok, moving to combat/declare attackers.
Him: I'll kill your Rabblemaster first.
Me: When are you doing this, before he is making the token in the main phase? Or during combat when his ability is on the stack?
Him: Before the token is produced.
Me: So it is still the main phase correct?
Him: Yes.
Me: Ok, so your spell resolves. It's still the main phase so I cast a Rabblemaster. Go to combat?
Him: Hey, isn't your combat done? You already entered combat.
Me: No, I didn't. You stopped me before we could enter combat. I even confirmed with you if it's still the main phase.

It's only scummy if you're not communicating your intentions properly.

Example 1:
Me: Declaring attackers?
Him: Kill your Goblin before it produces a token.
Me: Haha! The ability is on the stack so you can't stop it.
Him: No, I kill it before it's ability is even triggered.
Me: Sorry, you already let me go to the beginning of combat.

Example 2:
Me: Going to combat.
Him: Kill Rabble before his trigger.
Me: Hmn, ok. I'll cast another Rabblemaster then.
Him: But you're already entering combat.
Me: It's still main phase.

Example 1 is just wrong because you are making the opponent lose priority. Example 2, while technically correct, is demonstrating a lack of communication between players.

If you're playing at competitive REL, I will assume you know the rules and any issue you raise will have to fall on the judge's ears. Also, it's only scummy if you're confusing your opponent. As long as you communicate clearly what you're going to do, the judge will be always on your side (and have always been at my side whenever this issue comes up).

Also, it tilts them a little bit, so it's definitely advantage.

Once your opponent does something, the shortcut is null and void and you play on from that point as though the shortcut was never declared.
I'll quote you on this in the future if there is an argument. However, I won't say it to that particular person I'm discussing with because he has this idea of a "end of main phase 1" period that I don't know where he got.

You aren't wrong, Christen. If one player requests a shortcut and the other takes an action, the first is not required to continue passing priority. The game state has changed and may be reevaluated. What cannot be done is suggesting a shortcut, the opponent agreeing, and then trying to back out of it. Personally, I prefer suggesting a move to the beginning of combat step instead of declare attackers for better clarity, especially with things like Rabblemasters or Mutavaults on the board (I tend not to animate until beginning of combat). LD, it isn't scummy at all. From a tactical standpoint, it just means that he wants a Rabblemaster on the board when combat starts. He isn't trying to be deceptive in the slightest. When his opponent takes an action, he gets to decide if he wants to continue with the shortcut or not.
Except the shortcut for declaring attackers according to the MTR is "offer to pass priority until opponent gets it in the beginning of combat step". I think most players only know "go to declare attackers step" and not the intricacies of the shortcut.

Fuck it, I'll just revert back to actually asking if the opponent is okay with us ending the main phase and going to combat whenever Rabblemaster is involved.

Why doesn't this guy get it? He keeps referring to his "End of Main Phase 1" point.

Dragons seem to be coming earlier than expected?
What is it with the "dragons used to exist, then they went away, and now they're coming back" storyline, anyway?

1. ASOIAF
2. Dragon Age
3. Skyrim
4. Khans of Tarkir
5. Others?
I'm pretty sure there are others. I'm also pretty sure Skyrim is one of the inspirations of this block (around the same time the game came out when this was in development? or maybe I just screwed up the dates). I expected the dragons to come up in the third block, but looks like we're getting it early.

Ok, I should be more clear. What are the good expansions if anyone here knows how they play. It's more likely I'll be adding one or two in the next few days.
