Maybe I wasn't clear. Its not so much that he was missing them. It's that he was trying to draw for them late. After I'd already moved into my turn and started playing cards. It is not a required trigger, correct. Ill have a rules video coming out soon that dives into the specific situation more, but the key moment was after I played be prepared, he played diablo. I top decked a snake. Couldn't play it on an blank board. He exerts Diablo to quest and passes, having one card in hand. I top deck Fox and still cannot commit anything to board. I say I pass the turn. He they wants to draw for my draw for turn AND for the start of his turn after I pass. He missed the diablo trigger, and didn't put his draw into the bag before I passed my turn. I don't think he should be allowed to draw in that case, but Judge ruled he could since I hadn't done anything to alter the board state and had just passed. My reading of the rules, my turn ends when I say I pass, which means he can no longer put the diablo trigger into the bag.
Wow I'm so surprised the judge ruled against you there! I'd call the head judge 100%. I'd argue you didn't change the board but for another player maybe they would have had 2 sudden chills in hand or something. There is argument to be made for not drawing for Diablo so when your opponent makes the decision to draw after seeing what you'd do on your turn that seems bonkers! Also even if they unintentionally miss the trigger after like 5-10 seconds max that trigger should no longer be doable especially if an action such as playing a card or passing turn occur. For all they know you could also have a card like 3 cost Sisu in hand which is impacted by hand size, perhaps you didn't play it because you wanted their hand to be bigger and had they drawn on Diablo you would have played it. So sorry that happened to you 😢

Great advice. It’s tough, we are here to have fun, but it’s a competitive environment and you should mentally prep before.
And bring snacks ❤️
