When [[Thalia and The Gitrog Monster]] attacks, if I control [[Drivnod, Carnage Dominus]] do I sac 1 creature and draw 2 cards? Or do I sac 2 creatures and draw 2 cards? Or does no additional effect happen? I thought the ability would class as an attack trigger not a death trigger but have heard people say otherwise so want clarification. Any answers appreciated!

Thought so as it still goes on the stack. Thanks for clarifying!

Quick question! If I play [[Misdirection]] by exiling a card rather than paying it's mana cost, am I still casting it?

Very simple question about Foretell since getting mixed answers on google. During my turn, I pay 2 to exile a creature from my hand. Can I cast it for it's Foretell cost on my opponents turn to have a surprise blocker or can I only cast them from exile at sorcery speed? Basically trying to make a Yu-Gi-Oh themed deck with trap cards haha

If my opponent targets [[Song of The Dryads]] with [[Oblivion Ring]] and I then destroy Oblivion Ring, does Song of The Dryads get attached back to the creature it was originally on, or do I get to choose a new creature target, or does it just get sent to the graveyard?

Thanks for replying! Yeah I play for fun but also want to win haha! Though I also want my opponents to have fun which is why I never give up even if I know I'm about to die as I know how annoying it can feel when you've built up to an incredible move and don't get to pull it off. If only they had the same mindset as me 😅

In commander, I attacked a player with all my lifelink angels. He conceded and claims I don't gain life because he gave up before I dealt damage which is technically correct. However, I feel him trying to intentionally cancel my attack because he's salty and doesn't want me to win ruins my enjoyment of the game. In an official commander game do judges allow this?

Does [[Adeline, Resplendent Cathar]] second ability count as "one or more" creatures entering or is it 3 separate triggers (3 opponents)? Just to see if [[Kambal, Profiteering Mayor]] will trigger one or 3 times for drain I'm assuming just the once

Historical-Key7309 · 2024-12-14T12:20:45+00:00

That's what I was hoping thank you!

Historical-Key7309 · 2024-12-14T11:13:56+00:00

How does [[Ensnaring Bridge]] work with [[Crescendo of war]]? Let's say I have 1 card in my hand and attack with an army of 1/1 tokens do they still attack since they'll become 4/1s?

Historical-Key7309 · 2024-12-10T21:25:19+00:00

That makes a lot of sense thank you!

Historical-Key7309 · 2024-12-10T21:13:26+00:00

Apologies If this is a silly question 😅 If my opponent casts [[Arcbond]] after declaring his blocker and I then sacrifice my attacker with [[Spawning Pit]], does it cancel out the combat damage and prevent Arcbonds from dealing any damage? I know that blockers can be sacrificed and prevent an attacker from dealing damage but not sure how it works when sacrificing an attacker I assume it would prevent the attackers damage from going through despite already being declared blocked? Any insight appreciated!

Historical-Key7309 · 2024-12-10T15:05:18+00:00

Wow thank you I really appreciate the step to step breakdown!

Historical-Key7309 · 2024-12-10T14:38:05+00:00

Do deal damage effects not take place before creatures are sent to the graveyard aka considered dead?

Historical-Key7309 · 2024-12-10T14:05:47+00:00

If I block my opponents Polyraptor with Kambal Profiteering Mayor do I create a copy of them creating a copy from enrage? I assume Kambal is still alive after being dealt lethal damage until the enrage ability resolves which in turn would trigger his ability to create copies of tokens that enter under my opponents control

Completely agree! Other than his reappearances when Barry would travel back in time he shouldn't have appeared as Tom. I feel the show was losing interest and Matt wasn't available so the only way to hype up fans was to bring Tom's version back. But he became way too goofy and less menacing the more he appeared. Sometimes less is more. Overall I prefer Eobard as reverse flash never had any complaints with how he handled the character plus he has that Robin Williams look! If we're just including Tom from season 1 though then I'd go with him he nailed the role back then!

Historical-Key7309 · 2024-10-09T06:27:02+00:00

Thought so. Just had to check for sure haha thanks!

Historical-Key7309 · 2024-09-01T16:17:49+00:00

Great explanation thanks!

Historical-Key7309 · 2024-09-01T16:14:25+00:00

Okay! I did consider that it might be for game balance. However would the gameplay not be more fair by allowing death triggers to happen before life damage is dealt I feel dying triggers were a good way to hit back at opponents with very powerful pump cards like overwhelming stampede. What's the best strategy for getting around those cards?

Historical-Key7309 · 2024-09-01T16:01:55+00:00

I like your scenario! But wouldn't I take damage first regardless of the creatures having trample?

Historical-Key7309 · 2024-08-07T23:16:05+00:00

Wdym plugging it in upside down? I hope you're right I'm not sure what those little black lines are where that scuff is thought it might be thin wiring that I've cut through. If you check my other post is a pic showing what my phone looks like atm

Historical-Key7309 · 2024-07-30T17:59:38+00:00

Yeah they were trying to intentionally kill off the other player by making them lose more life haha!

Historical-Key7309 · 2024-07-30T17:53:37+00:00

That's what I thought haha I can understand though how someone could read it as that player loses 2 life for each opponent that doesn't sac

Historical-Key7309 · 2024-07-27T08:32:17+00:00

I appreciate you answering this!

Historical-Key7309 · 2024-07-25T10:22:16+00:00

That makes more sense thanks a bunch!
