## Official Rulings
- *(2021-04-16)* The ability can trigger once each turn for each opponent.
- *(2021-04-16)* It doesn't matter if Monologue Tax was on the battlefield for the first spell. It also doesn't matter if that first spell resolved or not.
- *(2021-04-16)* Nothing special happens on the third spell, fourth spell, and so on.
