Karn's Sylex prevents players from paying life to cast spells or activate non-mana abilities. Is this just to counter fetches and phyrexian spells? I see online that people seem to say it works with Æther Storm. Does this work to make cards like Norn's Annex or Temporal Extortion or Dash Hopes into being really good cards?
Hi all,
The exact interactions that mdfc cards have with certain effects escape me. I know they changed cascade rules to clarify some of this, but my question is if you Polymorph into an mdfc card such as the upcoming Augmenter Pugilist // Echoing Equation is it like cascade and you can play the second side instead of putting the Pugilist side onto the battlefield?
Thanks! You guys explained it perfectly.
I was definitely having trouble with triggers versus replacement effects and that all the counters would be placed simultaneously when Lathiel's ability resolves.
Hi All, thanks in advance for your help.
As the heading suggest I am running a Unicorn/Elf EDH and trying to decipher the exact interaction between Lathiel, the Bounteous Dawn and Hardened Scales or even Conclave Mentor.
Lathiel seems to give you a pool of counters to distribute, so first of all can you put more than one on an individual creature?
Secondly and most importantly does the placing of each counter trigger hardened scales then? So IE you get 2 counters and for each one you place gives you a second one? Or is it more like if you get 2 counters to distribute instead you would get 3 total at the end of a turn you gained 2 life?
Sorry if this seems stupid but I am confused by the wording on lathiel and haven't found any rulings yet.
Was playing with my group last night and encountered the age-old question (which you have honestly probably answered many times before but I can't locate on the forums) of: can I use Mind Over Matter to tap a creature that has protection blue, such as one equipped with Sword of Body and Mind?
The debate is: The creature has protection from blue but is mind over matter directly influencing that card like a twiddle would? Or is it giving the player the ability to tap or untap permanent by discarding a card and thus mind over matter isn't directly targeting?
Hi everyone,
Wondering about a ruling in commander games, if I use reins of power and before its effect wears off donate or use Zedruu the Greathearted to change send one of the creatures to another player, does that creature go back to the original owner when reigns' effect wears off or does the player who I "donated" the creature to retain control afterward?
Using card tags is mandatory in the Magic Rulings forum. Please check your private messages to learn how to use them. I've added them for this post.
