Seeing it's Easter and all, looks like the board here's slow, which isn't really a bad thing, but I do have a few questions about some older cards that I haven't seen any specific answers for in RONIN, and the UDE website is broke right now it seems for some reason, so here they go:
1) In the tournament I played in yesterday, I had Nobleman of Extermination played on my face down Call of the Haunted, so I chained CotH to NoE and brought back a creature, but he claimed that NoE still removed CotH from play. I tried to tell him that it wouldn't, because CotH was face-up when NoE resolved, and therefore it "fizzled" (yes, I used to play M:TG, so I use that term a lot), but he claimed it didn't, so he called the store owner over, who read the card, and sort of agreed with me, but he called over another person, who I'm not sure, but might've been a LVL 1 judge, from what I'm to understand there's only two in the state, or at least two that go there, and at least one wasn't there this week, although there was a record attendance of 24 people (seems sad, doesn't it?), but he sided with the other person, so I went ahead and removed it from play, it didn't really hurt me, and I didn't feel it was worth arguing over, especially since it was the owner that went ahead and agreed with the person he called over.
Basically, though, what I want to know, is there some official ruling somewhere I can print out to give to the guy, so he knows that it basically won't work like that? RONIN had nothing at all on NoE, and I imagine even if the UDE FAQ was working it wouldn't have anything either.
2) A simple one, maybe, that I'm just not sure of, considering some of the cards out there... does Castle of Dark Illusions permanently increase the ATK and DEF of the zombies that are on the field as long as they remain face up on the field, or do they only get 200, 400, 600, 800, and then finally just 1000 for as long as it remains face-up? The reason I'm confused, is basically the whole deal where Limiter Removal will permanently modify the ATK of machines, if they survive through the end phase, via Heavy Mech Support Platform (which I don't see any rulings for that under Limiter Removal either). The way the card itself is worded, is the first line just the flip effect, or is the whole thing? Slate Warrior effectively has two effects, so is this one like that, or a special case? I could see this one turning into a debate... it's probably another one of those BKSS rules.
3) Share the Pain makes both players tribute on resolution, right? So if it gets negated, you don't tribute one of your own creatures?
On a side note, where and when can I take my own judge's test? I'd like to at least be a level 1 judge, if not a level 2 one even, as long as that wouldn't impact my ability to play the game itself. I'm all the time trying to help other people play the game properly as it is.
