If he did want to get rid of secutor the line should have been: Declaring effect of laquari --> cost putting laquari in deck --> chain Raigeki Break discard swap frog target secutor. Then opponent would have the chance to use solemn to protect secutor, and then, after resolving the laquari effect, summoning Retiari, torrential would be used as cl2 of Retiari effect.
No reason to do that when I could just use tt and save the break for the next gb, and if the tt gets solemned I should have a window post resolution to break the secutor
Yeah I already acknowledged the incorrect ruling was given and apologized although after watching game one it seemed to me like Tobi had it after removing treeborn access and having an answer for the alius.
