A minor correction. Monologue Tax can give its controller up to 3 treasures per turn in a 4 player commander game as it counts each opponent's 2nd spell and not just he 2nd spell cast by an opponent. Such a situation is quite unlikely to happen given how quickly your opponents would need to go through cards for it to apply, but it is technically possible.

I know he plyed it as a black spell for the Liege-thingy to trigger, but the effect of Stinign Study would still happen, right? Ah so he did not loose the life but drew 3 cards. maybe with 3 life less Jon might have attack a round early. Would not change the outcoem I guess :) nice game
