- When you have Cursed Scroll in play
a) it gets destroyed before you can use it
b) you only have two mana in whole game- When your opponent has a Cursed Scroll in play
a) it kills you
b) it kills your creatures
c) you are not able to destroy it - When looking the spoiler of a new set
a) you'll always miss all sleepers
b) you'll always spot those cards that are too powerful, buy a set of them and day after that they get banned
c) you'll always taunt sleeper cards before they skyrocket in value
d) when you get a sleeper from a booster, you instantly trade it away before it skyrockets in value There ya go! __________________

If something can go wrong, it will. That AoM's checkout line example is good example how Murphy's Laws work. __________________

All these are dedicated to the pre-releasesAt a pre-release, the guy next to you gets the foil AA skyship weatherlight that some guy immediately will offer you $300 for (happened to my friend). You will always be the worst puller in every pre-release. Just like me. You will make an awesome deck and then have to pass it. You will get 3 good cards of every color, and no land-searchers or mana creatures. Just like me.
EDIT: You will pull a foil of a really "bad" rare (such as tangle wire or p. wave) and trade it away for one good rare, only to watch that rare become insanely popular.

Sometimes, when not enough people show up for a tourney, we all throw a rare in, and first two places get some rares. Anyway, specifically applying to this: You won't win this, however, if you make second, you will always get the rare you contributed.__________________

Trading #6.1 doesn't apply to me!  Trading #8 has to be my rule! I've done that so many times. i needed a Shard Phoenix for my stronghold set, so i traded for one. the day it came i bought a pack of stronghold, got a Shard Pheonix. same thing with Impending Disaster!  grrr... Trading 8.1: Once you finish your deck, you get all the good cards. __________________

I think it's quite good to pull bad rares. Then you'll buy even more and FINALLY you pull your good rare/foil good rare.This is happening to me all the time, im pulling bad rares, but finally a good one. Then im the most happy guy in the world But maybe I wont be so glad when I find out that I spent 60$ on a undermine....

this goes out to Ebay:when selling cards on there, you'll sell a playset of undermines for 20 bucks when everyone else is getting 40-50 for them. you'll buy a foil scuta when it first comes out for over 100 bucks to try to make a buck on it...to realize 4 months later it's now worth a mere 20 bucks. the auction for a foil bird that you're winning for 45 bucks will be outbid last minute and you'll
a) never have time to counterbid
b) be offline when it happens
c) (and usually this one) -- both will happen

Most of the rules (besides the obvious ones) don't happen to me much. However, one rule not listed constantly happens to me: No matter how many land the deck has, no matter how it is shuffled, and no matter who shuffles it, I can draw over half the lands present in the deck.
Great article, AoM! I always look forward to reading your writings.

this happened to me barely a month ago, but on a NM- LoA. i had the highest bid just an hour before it closed (at $51 or something) and the damn thing sold for $52.  ~RPGfreak17 __________________

The rule about you always having a bad draft is not true. In this one draft(OD,OD,TO) I got:
Coth
Finkel(which got stolen but got a DCI black knight instead)
2 foil rares(Need for Speed and Major Teroh)
Morningtide
A few foil commons.
