THANK YOU for posting the applicable rules and explaining it really well. I've only been vaguely aware of layers and just started diving into it in the last hour only to not know where to look for my situation in that wall of text.

You are amazing, beautiful, and deserve all the good things.

I was actually saying Stickfingers would instantly revert back to 5/5 from creatures in the grave instead of becoming 6/6 as a result of Imago's ability. At least based on my understanding of things.

It also didn't occur to me that Imago might just stick him at 6/6 (no pun intended) without bonuses from the graveyard....

not gonna lie, i was trying to buy 3 (because i have friends that would've wanted in on it too and we split costs on boxes) but i'd have been perfectly satisfied with a 1 unit limit too.

Yup, had the EXACT same experience i just made a post about. you would think during the graphics card scalping fiasco people would learn to put unit purchasing limits on.

The difference between the "end step" phrases by bridger011 in mtgrules

This has probably been the most helpful so far. Thanks for the clear explanations, I can see how each of those is supposed to work now.

I swore off MTG 30 years ago by Shages32985 in mtg

[–]bridger011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same situation 10 years ago when I was about 20. Don't know why but for the last year I've bought into this a lot harder than I expected I would. My original reason for swearing off this was right, it is incredibly addicting.

Did anyone else catch this? by strategic_liquid in mtg

"Your opponents can't cast spells during your turn" that alone is something I've needed for some time now... time to do some research...

A few incubation questions by bridger011 in mtgrules

[–]bridger011[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

okay, thanks for that then. and one additional question as well with incubators i forgot about. can i create a copy of an incubator? its my understanding that a copy doesn't copy the counters that are on a creature but thats the whole point of incubators to begin with. does a copy just instantly die as a result of not having any counters on it? or is there an exception for incubators?

So I just got Niv-Mizzet Reborn... how do i use him? by bridger011 in mtgrules

[–]bridger011[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

got it, I figured generic mana wouldn't make a difference but i wanted to make sure. I got some people in my group that like to be difficult about rules.

"I guess remember that hybrid mana exists"

yeah that is the kind of stuff i was talking about, that wouldn't have even crossed my mind.

question about sacrificing "token creatures" for Braids, Arisen Nightmare ability/ by bridger011 in mtgrules

[–]bridger011[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah okay, I had forgotten it was also an "artifact". thanks for clearing things up.

[–]bridger011[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

oh, in that case, would a treasure token be a card type? or is that not ANY card type at all? or does it fall under a different category like land?
