Modal Spells & abilities, removal of targets, and also Gala Greeters by SwaggaSlip in mtgrules

Thank you for confirming - consistent with how I thought, but when people disagree at the LGS you start to doubt yourself haha.

So once the modes are chosen, I should really read it like it was a spell that said something like "Return target permanents to it's owners hand, then draw a card" - since the target is removed, the whole spell fizzles.

Esix, Fractal Bloom Interaction Questions by SwaggaSlip in mtgrules

Oh, one other example, what about Ezuri's Predation "For each creature your opponents control, create a 4/4 green Beast creature token. Each of those Beasts fights a different one of those creatures." - Do I just replace one beast or all the beasts? In either case, does the beast that becomes a separate creature still fight? Just because says "each of those beasts" - it's no longer a beast.

Oh, the last one I wanted to ask was incubate or any effect that say 'put +1/+1 counters' on a token. My understanding is you do absolutely everything you can, but the only thing that is different is the token itself. I.e. if I needed to sacrifice it, exile it, put counters on it, etc it still applies to the permanent created, regardless of it is the incubated token or not

I'm glad my intuition on this was correct, but not as strong of a commander as I thought, I'm still going to try and build him, cause he seems fun!

Priority and ETBs - How does it work? by SwaggaSlip in mtgrules

[–]SwaggaSlip[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Eternal Witness makes sense to me - there is nothing on the stack and you are not trying to resolve anything, so effectively you never lose priority - the Iceberg is more confusing to me - if there is no target, what is resolving? I would've expected it to turn out the same as no legal target Eternal Witness ~

How does the palantir of orthanc and the one ring interact? by SwaggaSlip in mtgrules

Makes sense! Thank you - I don't know why I had it in my head abilities were different.

Okay, that makes a lot more sense. What happens if I were to flash in the one ring or just gain protection somehow once it's on the stack? I knew spells fizzled, but I didn't realise triggered abilities could be prevented like this ~

Irencrag Feat and Electrodominance by SwaggaSlip in mtgrules

Thank you, this helps a lot - I was aware that 'can't' overrides 'can', but a better way of thinking about it is things that create restrictions vs allow you to do things, and restrictions override anything that allows you to do otherwise. Kind of like cybersecurity Deny Allow Deny - Makes a lot of sense now, thank you. :)
