@murgatroid99 I thought about the artice (https://blogs.magicjudges.org/telliott/2017/04/27/how-to-think-about-the-new-combat-shortcut/) again lately and I think the following example mentioned there is unintuitive:
"A: "Combat"
N: "In Beginning of Combat, kill your Rabblemaster"
A: OK, Rabblemaster trigger resolves. I have a token."
Why does the trigger still resolve, when triggers are mentioned after N passed priority and the creature creating the trigger was killed before by N?

The combat shortcut says that beginning of combat triggered abilities are announced after NAP's actions in BoC resolved. So this true even for BoC triggers from creatures NAP killed BoC?

That example works partially due to the fact that the explicit phase you're in is BoC.

the reason a player might allow the Rabblemaster trigger, but still kill it before it attacks is so the AP can't play a Ball Lightning

So the idea is that because BoC was entered when NAP killed the creature who creates a BoC trigger, AP can still announce that BoC trigger when he has priority; that the creature doesn't exist anymore at this point doesn't matter, right?

@efie One of the primary changes to the shortcut that article is discussing is that now BoC triggers can be announced after NAP acts first in that step in general.

By destroying the Rabblemaster in BoC, NAP there is explicitly allowing the ability to trigger

Keep in mind that these shortcuts allow some things to happen out of order, but they don't change what things actually happen

Could someone with more Magic experience edit in the rules section for 800.4i into the accepted answer for this question?

Q: In MTG, what happens when a player loses in multiplayer?

In Magic: The Gathering, the rules for a player losing in a multiplayer game are quite complex, so I'd like to try to understand them by example. I would be happy to ask each of these situations as a separate question if that is preferred, but they all seem related, and I would love to have one p...

It was recently used as a target for a question about what happens when you lose on your turn in a multiplayer game and it can use that updated to make a true duplicate in my mind and I don't feel fully comfortable editing that in

Q: Offtopic: Where to purchase

Should we consider adding a reason of "where to purchase" or something similar to the off topic list for questions asking where they can buy a game? Also would some types of this question be valid? Where to purchase physical copy Where to purchase digital copy (print and play) Where to purchase...
