What happens in this situation?
My opponent casts Song of the dryads on one my Rat creature. It's a land now.
I cast my Song of the Dryads (SOTD) on his Song of the Dryads. His SOTD is unattached and my Rat is a creature again.
But what happens to both SOTDs? Aura can't exist without enchanting anything, but his SOTD is a land now (not aura anymore). Do both SOFDs stay in the battlefiled? (My SOTD is enchanting now opponent's SOFD and it's a land now). If they will stay in battlefield under whose control will be that SOTD Land? I think opponent will move it from my half of the battlefield back to him in the moment when I'll cast my SOTD on his SOTD and my Rat stops being land.
1. Do I shuffle library after 1st search? So it's useless. Elvish Harbinger
2. Is "when you play" old version of ETB? If yes, can I choose both of its abilities? And if I choose second ability. Does this elf add 2 different manas after tap? Quirion Elves
Do I understand it right if I have only 1 card of its type in the deck, that 1 card never enters the battlefield?
For example I have only 1 planeswalker in my deck.
1. I wanna cast it.
2. PS ability triggers.
3. That planeswalker is going to "PS exile"
4. I'm searching my library and there are no more planeswalkers.
5. So all my cards from library + that planeswalker are going back to library.
6. I wasted mana on planeswalker and I have nothing new on my battlefield (except shuffled library)
I've read many about this card Mirror of Fate . It can win you games, it's awesome in Zedruu deck etc., but I can't see where is hidden secret in this card. Can you explain me pls how to use this card. In which super combos and synergies?
Enchantment decks are very good versus zombie decks.
Overall voltron strategy is very fine antizombie tactic in my playing group. Use Uril, the Miststalker with lots of auras (trample, indestructible, flying etc.) or Balan, Wandering Knight with all best equipment cards and let them bite
+ add Michiko Konda, Truth Seeker to your deck. It's very good antizombie card in combination with Rest in Peace
Thornbite Staff says:
Equipped creature has "2, Tap: This creature deals 1 damage to any target" and "Whenever a creature dies, untap this creature."
Whenever a Shaman creature enters the battlefield, you may attach Thornbite Staff to it.
Does bold part mean any creature anytime? Or that creature which was dealt 1 damage?
During combat it gets 2 dmg, because it blocks something with 2 power. And in 2nd main phase I cast some sorcery and I put - 1/-1 counter on it. Is that indestructible creature dead?
(it got 2 dmg in combat and -1/-1 counter during 2nd main phase)
Kusari-Gama triggered ability works for me, beacause there is no word "you". Right?
I'm not controller of these cards so I can't use/pay/activate Kusari-Gama and Crab Umbra activated abilities. Right?
If I'll gain control of creature with Loxodon warhammer, my opponent (owner of Loxodon Warhammer) will get those lives. Right? Lifelink says "Damage dealt by this creature also causes you to gain that much life."
If I'll gain control of creature with Hyena Umbra attached to it. Can I use totem armor ability? Or I can't beacuse I'm not owner of that aura?
My opponent has Athreos, God of Passage and some other creature XY with -1/-1 counter on the battlefield.
I have Necroskitter on the battlefield and I'm going to destroy his XY creature with - 1/-1 counter. That creature is going to graveyard and now ...
... how to resolve this? Athreos triggered ability vs Necroskitter triggered ability. Who will get that XY creature? Ignore that paying of 3 lifes, it's not important now.
1. If I can put creature (creature with morph!) from my hand on the battlefield (thanks to Defense of the Heart for example), can I choose if I will put that creature face down (morph) or face up?
2. I have Bloodchief Ascension on the battlefield. Does this Bloodchief Ascension's ability At the beginning of each end step, if an opponent lost 2 or more life this turn, you may put a quest counter on Bloodchief Ascension. counts only for active player (whose turn is it)?
And the second ability Whenever a card is put into an opponent's graveyard from anywhere, if Bloodchief Ascension has three or more quest counters on it, you may have that player lose 2 life. If you do, you gain 2 life. counts for all players or only for active player?
When my opponent casts Mortify and in response I'm gonna cast Justiciar's Portal . Is that creature now illegal target for him? Or not? I'm not sure because it will be back again in the battlefield before Mortify will be top card on the stack.
Spells and abilities check for legality of their targets twice; once when you put them on the stack, and again when they resolve. If some, but not all, of its targets become illegal between the first and second check, the spell or ability resolves normally but does not affect or obtain information about illegal targets when it resolves.

I'd prefer green or colorless colors.

Is this consideration right?
It's fine and usually cheap alternative how to eliminate God cards Purphoros, God of the Forge in EDH for example

Aura cards doing useless permanents from super cards.
Equipped creature has "2, Tap: This creature deals 1 damage to any target" and "Whenever a creature dies, untap this creature."
Whenever a Shaman creature enters the battlefield, you may attach Thornbite Staff to it.

Creature has 3/3 with indestructible for example.
During combat it gets 2 dmg, because it blocks something with 2 power. And in 2nd main phase I cast some sorcery and I put - 1/-1 counter on it. Is that indestructible creature dead?
(it got 2 dmg in combat and -1/-1 counter during 2nd main phase)
If I gain control of target creature - equipment and aura cards attached to it will stay attached to it. Right?
My opponent (owner of equipmnet) can attached it back to his creatures during his turn. Right?
I have Kusari-Gama and Crab Umbra attached to Storm Crow for example.
Kusari-Gama triggered ability works for me, beacause there is no word "you". Right?
I'm not controller of these cards so I can't use/pay/activate Kusari-Gama and Crab Umbra activated abilities. Right?

Justiciar's Portal
I found this text on internet:
Spells and abilities check for legality of their targets twice; once when you put them on the stack, and again when they resolve. If some, but not all, of its targets become illegal between the first and second check, the spell or ability resolves normally but does not affect or obtain information about illegal targets when it resolves.
Is this interpretation of rules correct?
