They make a card that is only good if you play a lot of forests in the set following the devotion block and only put one green pip in its mana cost. Why couldn't it be 3GGG it would be so much better.
It has huge weaknesses to certain cards so it is easy to hate, certain match ups are extremely difficult, but the biggest reason is just how people see the deck. A lot of people deride the deck as just drop a bogle, put auras on it and swing so pros tend to avoid the deck in favor of something more rewarding to their skill.
You do. Spells resolve in last cast first resolved and since Riot Control has not resolved its effect is not in place. You'll be dealt 3 damage and lose.
Scenario One- Triggered abilities cannot go onto the stack while something is resolving so all of the triggers will go on in one shot. However when triggers go onto the stack they are done in active player-non-active player order. So essentially the player whose turn it is will lose because all of their triggers will resolve last.
Scenario two-
a)Banishing Light does not use the stack. However something like Oblivion Ring does.
b)It is not. It is a duration so as soon as it is off the field the other comes back in. Triggered abilities always start with "When,Whenever, or At.)
c)You cannot.
Scenario Three-
He will. When you activate a planeswalker ability the loyalty counters are added or removed as a cost and then the ability is put onto the stack where players can respond. As soon as he has zero counters he will put into the grave ready to be shuffled back in.
Perfect. Does the creature type given by Xenograft cause creature types to trigger upon entering the battlefield? For instance, Xenograft making all my creatures Scarecrow. Would it still cause Reaper King's ability to trigger when said creatures enter play?
It will. Anything that triggers on a creature entering the battlefield with a certain type will trigger.
Okay, so if I had a Conspiracy in play then I play Xenograft, all my creatures would have both types?
Correct. However if you played them in the other order (Xenograft and then Conspiracy) you would have just whatever Conspiracy named. Playing it in the order Conspiracy->Xenograft will turn whatever you play into the named type of Conspiracy and then Xenograft will add to that. So if you named Brushwagg with Conspiracy and Advisor with Xenograft then everything you play will be an Advisor Brushwagg.
You do not. In order for Deathrender to trigger the equipped creature must actually die (which in the game means to move from the battlefield to the graveyard).
In order to regenerate Experiment One you must do so before combat damage. Once damage is dealt it is too late to try and regenerate so once combat happens you can have either a 3/3 Experiment One or a 1/1 Experiment One with a regeneration shield to prevent it from being destroyed. However when it comes to wither regeneration doesn't help. Regeneration only prevents death via destroy or damage and will not interact in any way with a creature being placed into the graveyard for having 0 or less toughness.
A player has illegal, insufficient, or another player’s cards in his or her deck
Remove any cards that shouldn’t be there and put back any cards that should. Then, if the deck contains insufficient cards, add basic lands of the player’s choice to bring it to the correct size. Any cards that are added to the deck should be shuffled directly into the library. If the error was discovered during a draw effect, have the player complete the draw effect after the deck is fixed and shuffled. Encourage players to count their deck and present their sideboard (face down) to their opponents before starting a game.
As you said a game loss for this is unduly harsh (particularly since playing Stab Wound in a G/W deck has no implications of being untoward). Game loss's at the FNM level are generally rare since either a player didn't know something and so it should be fixed as best as possible and educated or they are intentionally breaking a rule (which is cheating) and they are DQ'd from the event. If this occurred as you said then please talk to the judge at that store and make sure they read the JAR. It sounds like they aren't a qualified judge, but a TO so don't know what should happen.
This is way too complicated. Remember that the vast majority of players are not looking for anything more complicated than Aggro, Control, Combo, Midrange. If you are going to go beyond that then it just seems better to look at the decklist since if you are getting too detailed individual lists that vary by 2 cards change everything.
Melira Pod won. Here's my shocked face That being said the top 8 is probably the most diverse I've ever seen. No duplicate decks and even UW Tron managed to do work. Looks like fun times.
It does work indeed.
