[For Competitive+ REL only] You now need to announce *all* your triggers.

EDIT: September 20* but I cant fix it :P

It's not that huge - in Legacy it pretty much means just announcing your Exalted triggers going on the stack.

I would also assume that it now also means that if you didn't announce it, your opponent can assume you forgot to do it and thus it doesn't happen (unless they want it to)? Can a judge confirm on that?

Confirmed. You have to announce ALL triggers. This is a change from previously when triggers that had no visual effect (such as exalted) 'auto-resolved' or were assumed to have resolved properly.

It was quite bizarre in yesterdays tournament I played in when high tide player didnt announce brain freeze storm trigger properly and lost. There were also numerous counterbalance mishaps etc.

I love this change. It forces people to fucking understand what the shit they are doing.

re: tabernacle

All creatures have "At the beginning of your upkeep, destroy this creature unless you pay {1}."

So the creature has the trigger ... Y U NO PAY? It's the creatures controllers trigger, if he goes to draw and nobody announces anything the creature lives?
