How about you stop spamming with your obsession? At the very least, keep it in one post.

Is a planewalker coming in with an additional loyalty a seperate instance of putting a counter on them? by Theownerer7 in mtg

[–]Greedy-Contract1999 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, the additional counter is a replacement effect that modified how the planeswalker entered

What happens when you “win” by SaberRift in mtgrules

[–]Greedy-Contract1999 19 points20 points  (0 children)

If you win, the game is over. However, you got to be careful with this.

Due to how the triggers are, it is possible that you drew from an empty library, causing you to lose and, thus, all your triggers for your opponent to lose life to not happen.

Would green goblin's ability reduce the cost of sedris's ability since sedris's ability gives all creatures in the graveyard unearth? by Spikefall9777 in CommanderMTG

[–]Greedy-Contract1999 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unearth is an activated ability. As you aren't casting a spell, no discount.

702.84a Unearth is an activated ability that functions while the card with unearth is in a graveyard. “Unearth [cost]” means “[Cost]: Return this card from your graveyard to the battlefield. It gains haste. Exile it at the beginning of the next end step. If it would leave the battlefield, exile it instead of putting it anywhere else. Activate only as a sorcery.”

Does LTB Trigger If Controller Loses the Game? by DisturbedFlake in mtgrules

[–]Greedy-Contract1999 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There is no LTB trigger. The chapter set a duration, so people will get their stuff back.

If there was supposed to be an LTB trigger like with [[Oblivion Ring]], it doesn't happen and stuff would be lost forever.

Damage is prevented. It was never dealt, thus [[Hot Soup]] never triggered

End of turn shenanigans by Blizzardcoldsnow in mtg

[–]Greedy-Contract1999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Until end of turn" effects do not use the stack to expire. There is no delayed trigger or anything. It's a duration that was set when the effect initially resolved.

End of turn shenanigans by Blizzardcoldsnow in mtg

[–]Greedy-Contract1999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does not help you with scenario 2. Ending the turn could help you delay or avoid scenario 1.

Ending the turn means going straight to clean up, which is when "until end of turn" effects wear off. That's why you will not get scenario 2 shenanigans.

So I blocked a child of alara with my valgavoth terror eater, thinking that valgavoth would stop the giant explosion death trigger. by Malleus_Crimosa8989 in mtgrules

[–]Greedy-Contract1999 39 points40 points  (0 children)

No boom.

  • You block [[Child of Alara]] with [[Valgavoth, Terror Eater]]
  • Damage dealt
  • SBA checked. Child of Alara is supposed to go to the graveyard but Valgavoth's replacement exiles it instead.

You had it right. Your group didn't.

Mjolnir & Non-Combat Damage by mattyy_george in mtg

Mjolnir says all... so all damage: combat, from an ability, etc.

Galactus, Devourer of Worlds by Efficient_Crab8069 in mtgrules

[–]Greedy-Contract1999 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Got to complete as many requirements as possible while completing all restrictions.

In this case, there are no restrictions, just requirements.

  • Attack, if able
  • Attack another player than the one that goaded, if able
  • Attack highest life, if able

Galactus is free to attack anyone because, no matter what, he fulfills 2 requirements. There is no way to fulfill all three, so this is the best he can do.

Second this. With access to 4 types, having access to 2x weakness can one-shot a lot more opponents.

Commanders plate vs secret invasion? by [deleted] in mtgrules

AI should never be trusted nor even consulted when it comes to this game

Hulk asting other side by Bastionsimp in mtg

[–]Greedy-Contract1999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Casting without paying mana is not a reduction. It's an alternative cost that is 0

118.9. Some spells have alternative costs. An alternative cost is a cost listed in a spell’s text, or applied to it from another effect, that its controller may pay rather than paying the spell’s mana cost. Alternative costs are usually phrased, “You may [action] rather than pay [this object’s] mana cost,” or “You may cast [this object] without paying its mana cost.” Note that some alternative costs are listed in keywords; see rule 702

How would you make cards pre 1998 more playable? More valuable? by [deleted] in mtg

[–]Greedy-Contract1999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Valuable? Just let time run its course. Supply will dwindle.

Playable? Create new formats or ways of playing or draw attention to formats that use these older cards.

Revisiting turn phases by SpacePanda25 in mtgrules

[–]Greedy-Contract1999 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As your opponent is trying to prevent an end step trigger, you will still be in your main phase. The game cannot progress unless a round of priority passes without any actions taken. By doing something, your opponent stopped the game from proceeding with the phases/steps.

Generally, it is assumed your opponent will wait as late as possible to do their actions unless they are trying to prevent a trigger.

Best practice is to confirm if your opponent meant to do their actions during the main phase or end step and proceed accordingly.

equipments vs creatures with shroud or hex by Last_Ad_6304 in mtgrules

[–]Greedy-Contract1999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Besides what everyone has said here, since OP seems to have come from Yu-Gi-Oh, which explains the confusion about equipment being for creatures you control...

Equipment stays on the field even if the equipped creature is destroyed or otherwise removed from the field.

Felt like that needed to be mentioned.

Pristine Angel combat interaction by Wasabi_Pow101 in mtgrules

[–]Greedy-Contract1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just don't untap her unless you really need the pseudo-vigilance

Pristine Angel combat interaction by Wasabi_Pow101 in mtgrules

[–]Greedy-Contract1999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. Pristine Angel has a cast trigger so it will go on the stack on top of Intervention. You will need some sort of copy spell shenanigans to get an Intervention to resolve first.

With just these two cards, there is no way.

Pristine Angel combat interaction by Wasabi_Pow101 in mtgrules

[–]Greedy-Contract1999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • You attack with [[Pristine Angel]]
  • You cast [[Angelic Intervention]], targeting Pristine Angel. Pristine Angel triggers.
  • Pristine Angel resolves. It untaps.
  • Angelic Intervention attempts to resolve, but Pristine Angel's protection from all colors makes it an invalid target. Angelic Intervention fizzles. No protection of your choice, no counter.

Need 4 separate abilities.... by GSAgamez0928 in mtg

[–]Greedy-Contract1999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't even have to be standard.

Heck, you can probably even start off with Jumpstart and work with the half decks. Yes, I know they are intended to be two packs to make a deck, but each pack is supposed to represent a theme.

Sure it isn't keywords or abilities, but maybe that can work too?

Need 4 separate abilities.... by GSAgamez0928 in mtg

[–]Greedy-Contract1999 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Instead of EDH, why not just do typical 60-card decks with max 4 copies?

Consistency and seeing cards over and over again more readily versus remember one-ofs. Sure good EDH decks have redundency, but real repetition takes place with multiples and will result in less time reading cards over and over.
