The policy was made in 2018 and the line is drawn at information gained. People are arguing that Ken allowing the spell to resolve is information gained. It isn't. Look at the boardstate and importantly look at Ken's decklist (which is open information). Ken has {U/G}{G.B} and Cavern. His decklist has Bitter Triumph (non-relevant spell to the situation) and Urgent Necropsy (which he can't cast). He already cycled his 1 copy of Webstrike Elite earlier. The funny thing is, this takeback is allowed because it is the World Championship. This is a rare time where decklists are open and public. So Seth Manfield knows Ken has no responses because he has seen the decklist. So Ken saying something resolves is not information gained. If you allow that it resolves as being information if the player has no potential plays, players are incentivized to say "it resolves" as fast as possible to close the takeback window. That makes the tournament environment much worse. The rules for takebacks are part of the tournament rules. The tournament rules are the same whether you are at a local FNM or the World Championship. If you want little timmy at FNM to have takebacks, you must allow the world champions to have some as well. Consistency is key especially when writing policy.
