Here's a rules question from #MTGAFR that's been making the rounds.
I have Asmodeus and Arc-Slogger in my graveyard, and Necrotic Ooze in play.
Can I pay {R} to exile my top ten cards (and deal 2), then pay {B} to get those 10 cards back?
The answer is, no.
...but why? 🧵

Before I explain the right answer, let's talk about some of the wrong answers.
One common mistake is thinking this interaction revolves around card names. Since Asmodeus' ability says "exiled with Asmodeus the Archfiend", it seems like the names of the cards should matter.

As it turns out...the names don't matter here at all! In Magic, if a card refers to itself by name, it actually just means "me, this card".
Suppose we also had a Basking Rootwalla in our graveyard. Paying {1}{G} would give our Necrotic Ooze +2/+2, not the (poor, dead) Rootwalla!

With the release of #MTGAFR nearing, I felt it appropriate to wrap up and look back on what overall was one of my 'better' formats, #MTGSTX BO3 #draft. At the moment of writing this, I am holding the 40th spot on the @17Lands leaderboard with 27🏆 and a 76,2% MWR.

@17Lands I played 63 events. 47 on college with or without a slight splash, 16 in a straight up 3 color wedge and 1 allied color pair. I sadly never got into the patented @samuelhblack 'Dimir-mindset' and am a big proponent of staying on-college due to the presence of gold cards.
As a true @Chord_o_Calls student, I played W based aggro >50% of my drafts. Driven by W having 6 B-level commons that were undervalued throughout the format. Whether I ended up LH or SQ was mostly driven by either R (debate) or B (hunt) commons going late.
