In Round 13 of Pro Tour Modern Horizons 3, Bart Van Etten faced Javier Dominguez in a high-stakes Feature Match. A controversial moment occurred in Game 3 when Van Etten played Not Dead After All on his Nethergoyf, causing a misinterpretation of the card types in his graveyard. This led to a misplay by Van Etten, resulting in the wrongful death of his Nethergoyf by Phlage, Titan of Fire's Fury. After extensive investigation, tournament officials determined that Van Etten had intentionally violated a Game Rule, resulting in his disqualification from the event. As a consequence, the outcome of the Round 13 match was overturned. This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of precise gameplay and adherence to rules in competitive Magic: The Gathering tournaments.
