we are in this situation the head judge of a much smaller tournament versus a floor judge at a larger event.

True, of course, but just calling it “Kataki's ability” is going to make this scenario a *lot* easier to discuss…

Marc does bring up a critical point. Birthing Pod is the card with the triggered ability, not Kataki. If you read Kataki's ability carefully you will understand why.
Also, even if you do know this, it's still best practice to reference the Birthing Pod as the object with the, “Pay 1 or sacrifice me!” triggered ability for the sake of clarity and accuracy in explaining rulings. You don't want to accidentally give other people the false impression that Kataki itself has the triggered abilities and not the artifacts.

I wouldn't call it a critical point, only when delivering the ruling is it essential that you do not refer said trigger as Kataki's trigger. I'm sure everyone that has contributed to this KP is clear that the trigger belongs to Birthing Pod.

So, it's Friday now, time to ask some carefully-worded follow ups. Michael, it sounds like you would like to rewind the game to the beginning of the active player's first main phase. As far as I can remember, only two infractions allow us to rewind to the point of the error. What infraction was committed at the beginning of the main phase, causing us to consider rewinding to that moment?
Chase, you stated that you would consider a rewind if you found that the player had “rushed” through his turn and NAP didn't have a chance to call attention to the missed trigger. Would we be considering a different infraction in this case?
