Advanced rule steps

Last week end I took my diagnostic test to be a DCI judge. My mind
boggled at the information that I lacked. If any one knows, I could
use some help with the break down of "the Legend rule" and 6 steps of
"casting a spell"

I don't have the information that you are looking for, but I found it
interesting that the legend rule recently went through a major change.
I suppose the test though would have been old format, eh?

I don't know what you might mean with a "break down" of the legend rule.
It's a state-based effect: Before anyone gets priority, you check
whether that is an issue. If it is, you deal with it and move on.

And the steps of casting a spell can be found in the comprehensive
rules: Rule 409.1.

Well, the Judge Test is supposed to be a comprehensive test of
Everything. You need to really know all the tournament documents
(http://www.wizards.com/magic/comprules) really well. I suggest that
you hunt through them for your answers, as it'll be good practice for
looking up other information when you need it.

Well... the Legend rule -changed- last weekend, so I'm not exactly surprised
if anyone gets it wrong for the next couple weeks. It now is a state-based
effect that applies any time two or more legendary permanents with the same
name are in play (as before, except now there's no need to also include
Legend creatures, since they no longer exist)... and puts -all- of them into
owners' graveyards. Instead of leaving one (the one that's been legendary
with that name in play the longest amount of time) in play.

The steps of casting a spell are 409.1a-1i: announce and move to stack,
modes splicing Xs variable costs additional costs alternate costs, targets,
clarification of possible extra targets, affecting targets different ways and
dividing stuff, determine cost, play mana abilities, pay cost, you're done. As
a very brief summary.

So that is what "fireball for 7 to the dome" really means.
