He was asking questions about large tournaments, some do's and don'ts about calling a judge, stuff like that.

The driver was going over the Cabal Therapy/Pithing Needle operation of naming a card as a shortcut and then getting a response, how they could change the name after a response, but they can't change it if you don't respond.

I chime in, "Similar to that, don't forget that Thoughtseize is target player, not opponent, so they could target themselves. Just be aware of that, don't just give them free information"

We get there and the new get gets raped round 1 and ends up with the bye for round 2.

As he's standing behind me my opponent casts Thoughtseize turn 1 and I lay out my hand, my opponent, "Uhh, targeting me..."
I showed my hand to my opponent after he resolved a turn 1 Cabal Therapy and BEFORE he named a card. For some reason, I thought he had cast Thoughtseize instead.
