{Jacob Hauken, Inspector} I feel like a fool, reading this card. I draw a card, exile a card from my hand, then I may look at that card for as long as it remains exiled? Can I play that exiled card? Or play them after I transform it into {Hauken's Insight}?

Sorry the wording of "You may look at that card for as long as it remains exiled" is just throwing me off

[[Panoptic mirror]] states you may play the exiled card is this counted as being cast

Hello, the Situation is: There is Teysa, Orzhov Scion + Darkest hour + Painters Servant (played after Darkest hour - saying colour white) + three other creatures on my board. The opponent has one creature on the board, which i want to exile with Teysas first ability.

The question is, can i do infinity ETB Triggers? I sacrifice my other three creatures targeting the opponents creature to exile. This ability should go onto the stack. Then Teysas second Ability triggers ( goes onto the stack) and i get again three creatures. When this resolves i want to do the sacrifing again and want to target again the same opponents creature (holding priority?)

Is this correct? :)

I am attacking with several creatures with lifelink and there is a player with [[Sulfuric Vortex]] which prevents life gain. The player with SV is dying during the attack. I would assume because it's a replacement effect that it would still block them from gaining life even if the player dies but I am not sure. Could I get some explanation of how this interaction would work?

Context: [[Pir, imaginative rascal]], [[doubling season]] on field.
I cast a planeswalker, lets say [[garruk wildspeaker]]. I know i get to order the replacement effects of its loyalty counters as it enters so he would enter with 8 counters. but! when i activate his +1 ability, i know pir's replacement applies and i would add 2 counters. but does that count as an ability adding the counters so that doubling season gets to apply as well? does rule 614.6: "If an event is replaced, it never happens. A modified event occurs instead, which may in turn trigger abilities. Note that the modified event may contain instructions that can’t be carried out, in which case the impossible instruction is simply ignored." impact the situation?

[[Opal Palace]] lets [[The Great Goblin]] enter with a +1/+1 counter. The Great Goblin deals 2 damage to target opponent when a counter is put on a Goblin I control. Does it see the +1/+1 counter being put on itself?

Hi, quick question:

Let's say I have a Sower of Temptation on the field controlling an opponent's creature.

In a later turn Swords to Plowshards is cast on the Sower of Temptation.

In response Dress Down is cast.

What happens to the controlled creature after Swords to Plowshards resolves? Is it returned? If so, when exactly?

If I have a [[Myojin of Cryptic Dreams]] that copies [[Millicent, Restless Revenant]], do I get 3 spirits, or 12? I'm a little confused about the part that refers to himself. Would they see eachother in this case, or is it simply referring to "this card"?

If I have Nils, Discipline Enforcer on the battlefield and my opponent has Ob Nixilis, the Fallen with a bunch of counters he put on him from the beginning of the game. My question is can he attack me without paying the mana cost with Ob Nixilis, the Fallen (+12/+12) even though I didn't put those counters on. The way Nils, Discipline Enforcer reads it doesn't say it has to be my counters placed on a creature it just says counters. So he should need to pay 12 in order to attack me correct?

Thanks in advance!

What my question boils down to: Can a defending creature do combat damage to a player?

The process is as follows:

- I have [[Jade Monolith]] on the field

- I have [[Time Reaper]] on the field

- Opponent attacks with a creature of their choice that I am eligible to block

- I block using Time Reaper

- I activate Jade Monolith's ability at a corresponding time to have Time Reaper deal the damage it would normally do in retaliation to the attack player's creature, to me instead.

Question: Does this count as combat damage?

If I control both [[Ertha Jo, Frontier Mentor]] and [[Jace, Multiversal Archetect]]:

1. Does Ertha's second ability copy Jace's -3 to exile a creature and polymorph as an activated ability that targets a creature?

2. If Ertha Jo does copy the ability, does the copied ability need to exile a second creature, or does it consider the first exiled creature good enough?

So I have [[High Perfect Morcant]], [[Maskwood Nexus]], and [[Necroskitter]] on my board.

If an opponents' creature dies (it had a -1/-1 counter on it) and I gain control of it with Necroskitter, does Maskwood Nexus cause that dying creature to enter under my control as every creature type (including elf)?

And if it does, does it trigger High Perfect Morcant's elf ETB ability?

Hi all,

I've wanted to build a Dack Fayden, Helping Hand deck since he was spoiled, but I didn't want to include a lot of the convoluted lines with the blink creatures. I decided to just give everyone bunnies with Hare Apparent and include lots of ways to lock up every creature that wasn't a rabbit. As I was gold fishing, I ran into a question I could use some help with.

Let's say Dack flips over three Hare Apparents. They enter, are goaded, given away, then their triggers are placed on the stack. Will I get 6 rabbits, since each Hare saw two others when they entered, or 0 because I no longer control them when the triggers resolve? Hoping it's the first but have a feeling it's the second. Thanks for the help.

Hello!

I just wanted to check on this interaction as i'm considering running obosh as a companion in a deck.

Would he double the damage of Delirium or Backlash? Since the text on the card says the creature deals the damage, my thinking is that it's not the spell dealing the damage so it doesn't get the damage doubling replacement effect.

If someone knows how this works, please let me know! Thanks. :)

If I have [[Rashmi, Eternities Crafter]], and my [[Divination]] cast trigger reveals a [[Bilbo, Luckwearer]] , can I cast the adventure part of Bilbo. Rashmi says I can cast the card without paying it's mana cost, and the rules of Adventure say I can choose which option to cast, so I think I should be able to cast the adventure even though it costs more than divination.

This question is addressed here, but I think the answer is wrong (including the bit about the land, but that is beside the point).

Edit: My bad, I missed the errata

So I am working on a Toph, The First Metal Bender deck and including the equipment Silverskin Armor which makes equipped creature an artifact in addition to its other types.

Obviously the plan is to earthbend creatures with it equipped for the buff and the return tapped ability.

I am also thinking about running Boompile in the deck since my nontoken artifacts are lands and it destroys all non-lands.

So my question is if Toph is on the field and equipped with Silverskin Armor and then earthbent, then I move Silverskin Armor to another creature then activate Boompile and win the coin flip. Is Toph still considered a land even though the loses the artifact type but has already been earthbent?

Hi!

I got an aura deck which runs [[giggling skitterspike]]. Lets say I target it with the aura [[tempest technique]] with lets say storm count 3.

How can I layer the trigger to maximize the damage by the Giggling Skitterspike? Can I : ->target it with the spell ->put the giggling damage trigger on the stack ->put the 4 copies of Tempest Technique on the stack ->resolve the 4 copies buffing the power of the skitterspike so that when the giggling trigger resolves its power is already buffed by all of the aura copies?

Thank you in advance and I hope that I worded that in a clear way!

So if I have [[ enhanced surveillance ]], and either [[ enlightened confidant ]] or the new [[ chandra, chill of compliance ]] and I surveil 3 cards in that all meet their criteria, do I get 3 cards into my hand? Just trying to figure out if this interaction works like I think it does or not.

I am running [[Malcolm, Keen-Eyed Navigator]] in a flyers deck. He is the only pirate.

If I hit one opponent with Malcolm, a second opponent with a Spirit,and a third opponent with a bird, do I get three treasure tokens?

The way I read it, a pirate has to deal damage to trigger the ability. Once that happens, the resolution only cares about how many opponents were dealt damage in that instant, not how many of the dealers were pirates.

Am I wrong? There were no clarification rulings on this on Scryfall, and the responses online seem to go both ways.

Hello, I haven't seen any clarification on this so I wanted to make sure it works the way I think it does.

Let's say I have [[Encouraging Aviator // Jump] and [[Muddle, the Ever-Changing]] on the battlefield. I cast any instant/sorcery to have Muddle become a copy of Encouraging Aviator until end of turn > attack with Muddle > Muddle become prepared > I end the turn > and Muddle is no longer a copy of Encouraging Aviator.
Will I be able to cast the prepared spell still? Based on the criteria of when a spell becomes unprepared it seems like I should be able to cast it, but wanted to check with people who may have more insight.

If a permanent with a prepare spell becomes prepared, a copy of its prepare spell appears in exile. This copy stays there until one of three things happens:

1. You cast the spell.
2. The prepared creature leaves the battlefield.
3. The prepared creature becomes unprepared.

If either of the latter two happens and you haven't cast the copy of the prepared spell from exile yet, the copy disappears and ceases to exist.

Edit: Thank you to u/weiss5193 for helping with this question and making it clear.
"If a prepared creature stops being a creature, it will still be prepared, and the copy of its prepare spell will remain in exile. That permanent's controller will still be able to cast it..." u/will_29 added a good point that you cannot have multiple spell prepared at a time on a single creature. This is already a rule some are fairly familiar with, but it's a good call out if people think about using Muddle as spell bank.

Let’s say a battlefield full of every players creatures ETB at the same, let’s say from an effect like [[Planar Guide]] or [[Warp World]], it’s my understanding that that it would work out something like this.

1. All creatures ETB at the same time
   
2. Active player then selects targets and places ETB triggers on the stack
   
3. The rest of the players, in turn order, then select their targets and places ETB triggers on the stack
   
4. Assuming no responses, the stack resolves from top down, so active player is last to resolve ETB triggers

Does this sound right? Am I missing any details? Gotta know what’s going on for this new deck before the tables brain explodes

When [[Gandalf, Party Guest]] triggers I cast [[Time Wipe]], in response to my cast can I then cast [[Teferi's Protection]]? I tried to do this in Arena and it wouldn't let me cast Teferi's in response to phase out all of my creatures, and destroying all of my opponents. So am I misunderstanding something here (I probably am but want to understand for the future)

If I make a planeswalker into a creature thanks to [[Luxior, Giada's Gift]], can my opponent still attack my creature planeswalker? And, furthermore, could I block that attack with the creature planeswalker that is being attacked?

Ive only ever used planeswalkers as an extra support for some decklists so I never looked into the extensive rules for them so I need help with this.

If I were to earthbend all my lands, and phase out my creatures, since lands are creatures would tifa lockhart's ability trigger when they phase in? Im just thinking of a deck idea and if it give me an alternate win con I'll take it.
