    The ability goes on the stack as the damage goes on the stack. it's deals and not has dealt. I don't know who dies first but both die. I would say 7/7 first, because the stack has to be empty for going to the next step. (here c.-damage resolve)

  • posted a message on Street Wraith and Contraptions
    The arguments here pro contraptions are out of thin air, the best is that there's/was a guy working on it (why would a company spend workingtime (= money) on a joke?),
    but contraptions will come; at some point they will be short on ideas and they'll remember contraptions and somehow force them to work. But I don't see this being soon.

  • posted a message on Casual Sonic Boom
    In those multiplayer games he mentioned Sonic Boom isn't that bad, he has at least one team-mate, but if you play emperor I'd suggsest a few changes. Also you should make it specific emperor or wingman deck. as Emperor you don't need defense for yourself, as long you can keep your wingmen alive (Propaganda, Wall of Tears, Bottle Gnomes). And it depends on what your playmates are playing, a deck made to support agro-wings isn't good at supporting controlish wings. you said agro, so I'd cut Evacuation and Meishin 'cause of being contraproductive.

    Ertai, Wizard Adept and Temoral Adept, Breaking Wave, Palinchron-style cards, and shroud giving cards would probaly shine in an emperor deck in you group. Guile is a nice finisher on it's own, turns their removal against themselfs and gets you their creatures. Isochron Sc., Erayo, Arcane Lab. would also be annoying. Web of Inertia combined with grave-thinning artifacts, Mist of Stagnation could also fit. or good old Stasi(s)-lock with Chronatog... but that wouldn't be Sonic Boom but Sonic Yawn

  • posted a message on Assigning Defenders
    If it's not clear to you by now, the op. can't chose new blockers but the damage won't go through to him because:
    4) Combat Damage Step
    ... Each creature in combat assigns the appropriate amount of damage to the creature(s) it is blocking or blocked by, if applicable.

    The damage is done to the creature blocking even when it is removed befor damage is put on the stack, unless of course the attacking creature has trample.

  • posted a message on The Age-Old Question...
    Are these statements correct? if not I'd like to know how it works correctly.

    a) The layers are checked and resolved from 1->6.

    b) So if I have Humility and Night of Souls' Betrayal (no Opalescence or Living Lands) in play I will end up with 0/0s, because Humility is in layer (6b) and Night is in layer (6e) and first all creatures are made to 1/1 and then get -1/-1 (1-1 / 1-1 = 0/0).

    c) If I got the Night into play first, Humility would overwrite it like a Anthem-effect and we'd have 1/1s.

    d) If I first play Humility and then Night -> b)

  • posted a message on Post Morningtide Maralen Lock
    I see 2 big problems with you deck:
    - you assume they don't have removal in their hand when you play maralen, in their upkeep they'll kill her. to be safe you'd have to wait some turns, being probably dead at this point, what leads us to:
    - if they don't kill you maralen will do, she puts infact a clock only on you (unless you use SoD), sure once you're controllinng the game, but by then you've taken damage from the op. and of maralen (you're behind) and she only beats for 2 while leaching you for three a turn, a Confidant will speed up things in favour of your op., you can then beat for 4 a turn, but you will be further behind than without one.

    and with your example you assume to have 3 scepter in hand 'til t4 ? do you allways draw as stunning as that or is it me seeing this unlikely to happen often?

  • posted a message on Drunk White girl effectivly gets away with murder, Black guy pays
    Quote from tehpincushonmahn
    I'd just like to point out that the article stated that Wilkerson wasn't over the limit, and he can't be charged with drunk driving.


    drink and drive, anyways he smoked pott and drove high and ran off after causing an accident, both illegal. the latter at least is a crime in Switzerland ,I don't know the correct word, and if you're driving high and make a crash the victim's (*) insurance is able to make you pay. (* if the victim's still alive *cough*)

  • posted a message on Drunk White girl effectivly gets away with murder, Black guy pays
    Be it bias or not, neither the point of the article nor the thread is to say the black guy is innocent and the girl is guilty, it is not clear who is to charge for the accident. Both drivers were drunk and should at least get both charged for driving while being drunken.
    The black guy did somke pot and maybe caused the crash and run away (if this is right it would sum up to a higher punishment), but one can't know, if the girl would not have been drunken then maybe there would have been no crash.

    Undertaker + black madness creeps. the new "gravedigger"especially or the 2/1 firststrike -X/-X assasin, I forget about the names. it would help if you'd say what foramt you want to use

  • posted a message on Speedy Spell Jack [Multiplayer Deck]
    If you have 4 GU-shocklands and 4 good ol' GU-dual then it wouldnt matter Grin , now to keep it real, drop the idea with Erayo, I don't see how you want to cast 4 spells in one turn after powering Guile out. And you are very vunreable to removal of all sorts and if you counter those you'll have a problem with defense yourself. Furthermore the deck puts you in the position, where you are the guy to be taken down first and as I said, you won't be able to hold the line. If you want to abuse Erayo I can post a list of mine, once I tried. If you want to abuse Guile try some reusable Counter-tech (the young Ertai, scepter) or Planar Chaos, if no one proves else, I claim to be the inventor of said combo. you will be able to play all your spells and get a chane of 50% to steal the ops' for free.

  • posted a message on Poison theme in near future.
    I say it is in Rock for this reasons:
    - Virulent Sliver, there are no slivery on LOR and if SHA is somewhat related to it, there will not be any slivers either.
    - Is there any snake in LOR/MOR, or even mentioned in the book? NO - so there will be no thing like Snake Cult Initiation in it's offspring/ancestral either.

  • posted a message on My sister is bound to get smacked for this.
    Never ever smack a woman on purpose! (Two exceptions: 1. She hits you first with the intention to harm you. 2. you hit her by [real] accident) Violence isn't a solution especially not in a family. Talk (no yelling, as said befor) to her, try to have a real conversation and sort out things. If she is the b!t(# you said and makes fun of you again while you trying to solve the problem, well, then either break the contact and/or talk about it with the family. Maybe your pa can talk to her (he may yell), if she treats all your your family that bad, get her to the point of being a social outcast.
    And don't post further such problems here, it's intersting to see people go "smack her!" but it also shows you don't have anybody else to talk about, so your sister gets a point for calling you social criple... sry, serach yourself some RL-friends, the D&D table group of your friend or similar will do it, aslong as you can meet them in RL.
