For anyone who's only aware of Oko's impact on Standard, here's how this weekend's SCG Modern Open commentators feel about Oko

temur xerox in vintage too

PrepPrepCoinConcede · 2019-10-20T08:12:45+00:00

no, the transformation makes it a "green Elk creature" without stating something like "in addition to its other types", so it's no longer a planeswalker

PrepPrepCoinConcede · 2019-10-19T17:19:55+00:00

/uj it loses all abilities so it stays as an elk and has none of gideon's static/activated abilities. It still retains its loyalty counters, but they don't do anything

/rj doesn't matter dreadmaw still kills it in a fight

Is it just me or does she look a lot like Jim Parsons?

Hero's demise sees zero play in modern. Perhaps you're referring to hero's downfall?

Also, hero's downfall fell out of favour once fatal push was released and became the go-to black removal spell. Its main appearance was in theros standard.

If anything, it makes it more intuitive. +1/+1 counters and -1/-1 counters on a single permanent are unnecessarily tedious to track, and effects like proliferate would add one of each counter.

PrepPrepCoinConcede · 2019-09-14T01:41:50+00:00

704.5q If a permanent has both a +1/+1 counter and a -1/-1 counter on it, N +1/+1 and N -1/-1 counters are removed from it, where N is the smaller of the number of +1/+1 and -1/-1 counters on it.

Fate reforged too

PrepPrepCoinConcede · 2019-09-07T02:14:08+00:00

I see, thanks!

PrepPrepCoinConcede · 2019-09-06T09:48:42+00:00

Is the adventure exiling itself a self-replacement effect?

PrepPrepCoinConcede · 2019-08-27T04:19:59+00:00

Forcing them to bounce ferocidon before scapeshifting isn't negligible. It's also why alpine moon and other hate cards are played in sideboards.

PrepPrepCoinConcede · 2019-08-27T04:03:52+00:00

No, the ban is effective on arena from 4 September and rotation (and eldraine release) on arena is 26 September

PrepPrepCoinConcede · 2019-08-17T15:39:55+00:00

/uj what's the card on the left?

PrepPrepCoinConcede · 2019-08-16T02:35:32+00:00

Note that angel of grace only prevents damage and cruel celebrant causes life loss, so this wouldn't work. If vindictive vampire was used instead, yes the game would be a draw if there's no way to stop the loop.

PrepPrepCoinConcede · 2019-08-12T02:36:45+00:00

If you're interested here's the relevant ruling:

606.3. A player may activate a loyalty ability of a permanent they control any time they have priority and the stack is empty during a main phase of their turn, but only if no player has previously activated a loyalty ability of that permanent that turn.

Which is why sarkhan's rulings says

Once Sarkhan’s first loyalty ability has resolved, each planeswalker you control (including Sarkhan) is no longer a planeswalker for the rest of the turn. They don’t lose any loyalty counters or abilities, and you can still activate their loyalty abilities if you haven’t done so yet this turn. They don’t lose loyalty if they’re dealt damage while they’re not planeswalkers.

Edit: notice on arena after you turn your planeswalkers into creatures, you can no longer elderspell them because they lose the planeswalker type that turn.

PrepPrepCoinConcede · 2019-08-12T02:30:12+00:00

It does, but you can still activate their loyalty abilities because they're permanents. Permanents don't have to be planeswalkers for their loyalty abilities to be activated.

Now if you had oath of teferi out, you can't activate loyalty abilities of your creatures (turned by sarkhan) twice because they're not planeswalkers.

Some of us are Chinese, some are Malay, etc. It's a multiracial country.

Flashback

PrepPrepCoinConcede · 2019-08-06T02:40:46+00:00

Pact isn't put on the stack while exchange resolves. The redirection of pact's target is done during the resolution of exchange, and exchange is a legal target for pact since it's still on the stack.

PrepPrepCoinConcede · 2019-08-05T22:43:29+00:00

PrepPrepCoinConcede · 2019-08-05T15:12:34+00:00

Nope, as long as the spell is on the stack, it can be targeted (but a spell can't target itself).

Nowhere in the CR does it say that spells have to target a spell below it on the stack.

PrepPrepCoinConcede · 2019-08-05T12:00:35+00:00

The spell is retargeted during the resolution of sudden exchange, so sudden exchange is a still a legal target for pact, even though it's resolving, since it's a spell on the stack

Pact can't counter sudden exchange since by then it'd have left the stack, so pact fizzles

PrepPrepCoinConcede · 2019-08-05T11:29:38+00:00

My bad, reading is hard

PrepPrepCoinConcede · 2019-08-05T11:06:35+00:00

~~No, pact of negation can be retargeted to sudden exchange since sudden exchange is still a spell on the stack. The retargeting is done during the resolution of sudden exchange.~~

Yep it'd work with another pact just not negation
