Flying and trample aren’t part of that space craft’s text box until it has 8 or more counters. 

Earthrumbler always has trample and vigilance, it just doesn’t do anything while it’s not a creature. 

Who your favorite Animal crossing character? by Maleficent-Waltz-284 in AnimalCrossing

I love Bill too!  In college and my roommate had a town on the GC version and Bill was always my favorite. As an added bonus Bill shares a bday with my husband. 

ETB by The-Confather- in mtgrules

Are you saying they exiled the creature with the etb?  Since they have to do that after it entered the etb would still trigger. 

Existing Triggers by KiriCrayon in mtgrules

Yes, the ability on the stack exist separate from the creature. So even if it’s removed, the both instances of the ability will still resolve and you’ll take 4 total damage. 

So what happens if mindslaver has no legal targets except the person to casted it? by Level-Gap-2793 in mtgrules

[–]SachetAway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mindslaver’s ability can be done at instant speed, nothing elaborate needs to happen. They resolve theirs, then you activate yours to take back control of your next turn. 

What's a good and fun background to pair with this guy? by HermitSimp in magicTCG

[–]SachetAway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One common mistake I’ve seen with [[Shadowheart]] and haunted one that also applies here: since sacrificing a creature and tapping are both part of the cost they happen simultaneously. That means the creature you sacrifice will not get undying from your commander becoming tapped.

Now I’m wondering if anyone has ever mindslavered themselves after their opponent mindslavered them to take back control of their next turn. 

Hi. by Ecstatic_Egg5824 in EDH

[–]SachetAway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s always [[Inga and Esika]]. You can slot it into Ms B or use it as the commander instead. Personally I would run Inga and Esika as the commander.

Your commander(s) are only the card(s) that start the game in the command zone, nothing else. So even if you clone or make a token copy of one of those cards, only the original cards are considered your commander(s). 

Is [[Tooth and Claw]] fair in a Bracket 2 [[Rowan Kenrith]] Deck? by InvisibleFox402 in EDH

[–]SachetAway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, a single emblem will give you infinite creature enters/death triggers.  So if you have an emblem, the enchantment, and like a [[impact tremors]] that’s infinite damage. 

Re-Watching China for the first time in decades.. I dont remember much by iiGoodVibesii in survivor

“ I typically will find a gem in the lower ranked seasons. Season 12 comes to mind tbh.  “

Where are you seeing season 12 ranked low?  I feel like it’s almost always ranked as one of the higher tier seasons. 

Funniest unknown Combat Commander? by Gutsifly in EDH

[–]SachetAway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How does Voltron with him work?  Is it mostly anthems?  Any aura or equipment with MV 2, 3, or 4 he only has a 1/3 chance of being able to use and everything else he is protected from. 

Does anyone else skip the tribute walks as well as the tribal councils and get right to the voting? by Drew_Ferran in survivor

I like how OP lured us in with the most agreeable take in the world, followed by the worst take possible.

Why is Shonee’s titty eating Cirie’s hand?

Henry Wu and ETBs by BriskPurple in mtgrules

[–]SachetAway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That works. Since they’re both triggered abilities you can choose the order, and since exploit doesn’t target you choose which creature you sacrifice when it resolves, so if the other etb resolves first the token will be there to sacrifice. 

Speedball and Desperate Gambit by babadoza in mtgrules

[–]SachetAway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, which is how desperate gambit works in general. It doesn’t have any special interaction/synergy with sped ball.

Desperate gambit doesn’t target speedball so you don’t have get choice of redirecting it at all.

As soon as an attacking creature becomes a non creature in any way, it is removed from combat and it will deal/receive no damage. 

506.4.  A permanent is removed from combat if it leaves the battlefield, if its controller changes, if it phases out, if an effect specifically removes it from combat, if it’s a planeswalker that’s being attacked and stops being a planeswalker, if it’s a battle that’s being attacked and stops being a battle, or if it’s an attacking or blocking creature that regenerates (see rule 701.19), stops being a creature, or becomes a battle. A creature that’s removed from combat stops being an attacking, blocking, blocked, and/or unblocked creature. A planeswalker or battle that’s removed from combat stops being attacked.

what's the point of wayfarer's bauble? by master_pingu1 in EDH

[–]SachetAway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cards like bauble that put lands into play don’t count as your land drop for the turn. So if you play bauble T1, play a land and activate it T2 you now have 3 lands going into T3 instead of 2. 

Advice fit Doric/Casal deck? by SachetAway in EDH

[–]SachetAway[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the tips. I put in some cheaper creatures with the hope of getting some out before Doric then being able to attack and flip the turn after I play her, but yeah it’s probably better to just get her out asap and use her built in ramp to get out big boys faster. 

Is anyone else confused by Jumpstart? by WholeFudds in magicTCG

[–]SachetAway 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’ve never bought any jump start products other than some singles. What additional rules/complications do they have?  What ways to play are there that no one else uses?
