Re: Magic the Gathering: Ask a Judge

If the newly spoiled card Master of Cruelties (http://tinyurl.com/cwoc6s5) is put into play tapped and attacking (say, by Kaalia), will its "Put you to 1" ability trigger? I understand that it's allowed to attack, but I was thinking that the ability wouldn't trigger for the same reasons th...

Re: Magic: The Gathering: Whatcha mean, there's no thread ye

I agree that Borborygmos is somewhat disappointing (it's really hard for an eight mana summoning-sick creature with a Doom Blade problem to be good), but Aurelia looks fantastic. Let's put it this way: Relentless Assault costs 4. Aurelia costs 6, and for that you get Relentless Assault every turn, p...

Re: Magic the Gathering: Ask a Judge

If a creature has Infect and Wither,
A: Does it assign twice its power in -1/-1 counters?
B: Is there an order to the stacking of the "Gains infect" "Gains wither" effects that would cause the creature to -not- give players poison counters?

Re: Magic the Gathering: Ask a Judge

If Snapcaster Mage gives flashback to Snuff Out , am I allowed to pay 4 life to flash it back? If I Snapcaster something with no mana cost, like Ancestral Vision, I understand that I can't pay a flashback cost of NULL, but would Fist Of Suns let me flashback the Vision? If I end my turn with 8 cards...

Re: Magic: The Gathering: Whatcha mean, there's no thread ye

Ghost Quartering a guildgate doesn't do anything though, because unless they have no basics, they still get to fetch a land to keep their colours fixed. As for Cavern, you're only actually playing two things that counter creatures. That's going to be relevant very rarely. Vandalblast deals with thin...

Re: Magic: The Gathering: Whatcha mean, there's no thread ye

On Judge's Familiar , while Cursecatcher sees Legacy play in Merfolk decks, it's actually played in Vintage as just an on-board Force Spike (because everyone in Vintage is playing instants and sorceries, they're just so good). One thing I noticed about Ravnica is that there seems to be a cycle of gu...

Re: Magic: The Gathering: Whatcha mean, there's no thread ye

Dreadbore is actually pretty fair, when you consider that it's Terminate , trading instant speed for hitting Planeswalkers (which comes up fairly rarely). If you want to talk power creep, take a look at the four-mana 5/5 with upside , the three-mana 4/4 that's uncounterable and discard-protected , ...

Re: Magic the Gathering: Ask a Judge

Ok, here's another question! My opponent has a Cathedral Sanctifier equipped with Bladed Bracers, and I use Spirit Away targeting his Cathedral Sanctifier - who controls the Bladed Bracers? Your opponent still controls the bracers, but they're equipped to the Sanctifier which you now control, givin...

Re: Magic the Gathering: Ask a Judge

How does Yixlid Jailer interact with Snapcaster Mage? My guess is that it's a timestamp-order thing, where if the Yixlid is played first, then the Snapcaster, a card can be flashed back, but Future sight cards are weird, so I wanted to check.

I've always hate-hate- hated Sealed events (I have a history of opening awful pools), but I'm very excited about the Guild specific packs that exist for the Prereleases. I imagine it would be great fun to amass a bunch of those packs and hold a Grab Bag draft; does anyone know if they can be purchas...

Re: Magic the Gathering: Ask a Judge

Still... I'm thinking Populate works nicely with a Geist/Angel deck. The copies don't get sacrificed at the end of turn, right? Edit: Ahh - "end of combat" for Traft. So to populate his angels you'd need a way to make Rootborn work at instant speed. Doable but not cost effective. Would th...

Re: Magic the Gathering: Ask a Judge

I understand from Magic Online that the way Miracles work is that they put a triggered ability "You may cast the Miracle for its Miracle cost" on the stack. Does that mean I can Stifle my opponent's ability to Miracle a card? Does the same apply to Madness? If you loot , draw a Miracle, an...

Re: Magic the Gathering: Ask a Judge

Can Misthollow Griffin be cast from exile if it's exiled face-down? I'm not quite sure what you mean by that. Do you mean if it's exiled by an effect, such as Karn Liberated or Oblivion Ring? Because, if so, it's just exiled as normal. Most people put it under cards like Karn and O-ring to indicate...

Re: Magic the Gathering: Ask a Judge

I should mention that while targeting has already been discussed, your specific example of a clone creature trying to clone a shroud creature actually works fine. Vesuvan Doppleganger (pretty much all creatures with the Clone ability, really) doesn't use the word "target", it simply says &...

Re: Magic the Gathering: Ask a Judge

Does Crucible of Worlds let you play the Morph on Zoetic Cavern ?

If so, would they still get to see my hand? Speaking of Minds...

Re: Magic the Gathering: Ask a Judge

A friend told me about the interaction between Angel's Tomb and soulbond, and it's really weird, so I wanted to check if it was right. I was told that if you have an inanimate tomb and play a soulbond creature, you can't bond it with the tomb, unless you also have another creature in play (but the t...

Re: Magic: The Gathering: Whatcha mean, there's no thread ye

Though I do have to ask if it lasts until the end of the turn or just until after combat. Because, it is' the latter, it seems kinda pointless to have the /+1 on it. It is indeed until end of turn. There are a couple reasons it would be relevant if only for the length of combat (the only one I can ...

Re: Magic: The Gathering: Whatcha mean, there's no thread ye

As someone relatively new to Magic, could someone give me a layman's explanation of Exalted? Exalted is a triggered ability found mostly on creatures, but occasionally on other permanents. If you have a source of Exalted, when you attack, if you only attack with one creature, Exalted will give that...

Re: Magic: The Gathering: Whatcha mean, there's no thread ye

True. It just seemed almost counter-productive to include such a high volume of Exalted creatures (and even an Angel that gives them Exalted) only to then have the mono white legendary be one whose effect relies on more than one creature attacking. The way I see it, Odric actually goes incredibly w...

If an effect would simultaneously destroy all enchantments and creatures (like say, Larry Niven's Disk ), do creatures with Totem Armor survive?

I've been watching some Diablo 3 stuff and have yet to buy, so I thought I'd ask this thread a question about it.

I have zero cards in hand, and on my opponent's turn, activate Desolate Lighthouse's draw ability. If I draw a miracle card, can I cast it? If I can, and the card is Reforge the Soul, will I draw seven, then discard one of them to the lighthouse?

So here's the aforementioned terrible pool I got, and the deck I made out of it.

http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/avr-sealed-107/

I'm sure there are some minor tweaks that can be made, but overall, did I make the best of an awful pool, or was there a better colour combination to go with?
