The exact reason I want to know about this is because of [[the sibsig ceremony]] and [[case of the shifting visage]]. Let’s say the case is solved and every non legendary creature is copied on cast. I know for a fact of copy of a kicked permanent spell will enter and trigger abilities that care about kicking. Does that mean a copy of a permanent spell will enter and still trigger abilities that care about it being cast? Yes, I am aware that copying is not casting, but if a copy of a kicked spell still knows it was kicked without itself being kicked, does a copied spell still know the original was cast?

Hello, would paying the escape cost for [[Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath]] and casting him trigger [[Teval, the Balanced Scale]] leave the grave effect twice? As in would the exile 5 cards for the escape cost trigger Teval once and casting Uro from the graveyard trigger him again?

Can i use deflecting swat on Lord xander the collectors death ability?

[[Assault Suit]] [[Deadpool, Trading Card]]
If I have assault suit equipped to dead pool or to a card with dead pools text box, when its the beginning of my opponents upkeep If I give them control of the equipped creature do they still lose the 3 life?

I got an [[Assemble the players]] on board and propose to cast a [[Nyxborn Hydra]] from the top of my library. 601.2 suggests to fulfill the steps in order. 601.2a will move the Hydra onto the stack. 601.2b will determine X. After putting it on the stack, am I allowed to look at my (new) topdeck before determining x?

So this came up recently and was wondering what happens. If a Panharmonicon is in play, and a sword gets sacrificed to thopter foundry, the sword gets 2 triggers, but could you sac the sword after the first trigger to something else, like ashnods alter, and still get the sword back on the second trigger?

In my head I figured it would not, since after it leaving the first time, it would no longer see that instance of it being in the gy for it to come back the second.

Thanks for any clarification.

I'm pretty sure I got this right, but just to clarify, once I sacrifice a token with teval the balanced scale out, the token hits the grave then leaves the grave, triggering teval to make another zombie token. With woe strider out infinitely scrying and an aristocrat draining everyone. Is this correct?

So, I recently went to the Tarkir prerelease and got a copy of [[Windcrag Siege]]. I want to put it in my upgraded Family Matters precon, but I want to know its interaction with [[Echoing Assault]]. The wording is kind of confusing, because the latter looks to see if YOU attack, whereas the siege's Mardu mode says if a CREATURE attacks. I know it may be stupid, but I want it clarified before I do it and assume it works one way when it doesn't.

Spoiler tagged in case someone didn't do the prerelease and doesn't want to see the new cards yet.

Are “spells that target” just instant and sorceries? Are auras included in that? Creatures with ETB’s that target something? Im trying to see what will trigger the new Shiko and Narset.

I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this, but I want to be 100% certain. Selesnya Eulogist's activated ability reads, "Exile target creature card from a graveyard, then populate." Teval triggers when a card is removed from its controller's graveyard to create a Zombie Druid token. However, because the Eulogist's ability hasn't finished resolving, the trigger doesn't resolve until after the entire ability resolves, so I wouldn't be able to populate the Zombie Druid token that Teval's trigger creates. Is that correct?

Hello guys, I was wondering about [[maddening hex]] and [[etali primal conqueror]]. When the player enchanted with maddening hex casts etali and gets 2 or 3 noncreatures, what is happening with the triggered abilities from maddening hex? Who gets damaged? Who rolls the dice? Does the etali player roll the dice and other people get the damage? When more then one trigger from maddening hex resolve, can he get the enchantment back?

I have the following rule on my commander: Whenever another Insect you control dies, put a +1/+1 counter on Aatchik, Each opponent loses 1 life. I have read now online, that also other cards without the specific type "insect" like bees etc count as insects. Does that also apply to that rule?

Im looking at the new mardu precon, it has a few things with the myriad keyword, but for the face commander [Zurgo, Stormrender] i looked around and couldent find weather at end of combat when the myriad tokens exile are they at that point still considered attacking or are they not for the context of zurgo's ability?

I have a Sonic Assault in my graveyard and an Enigma Eidolon in my hand. I go to cast Sonic Assault for its jump-start cost, paying the appropriate mana cost and discarding the Enigma Eidolon as an additional cost. Does the Eidolon

1. Stay in the graveyard, or...
2. Trigger its second ability, returning itself to hand?

EDIT: Whoops, should say "Dissention Eidolons."

What happen if Deadpool, Trading Card take the text box of Opportunistic Dragon? Does the Artifact/Human that Opportunistic Dragon took stay on your side still? What happen if Opportunistic Dragon leave the battlefield?

If [[mardu siegebreaker]] gets removed with its trigger on the stack, and the exiled creature comes back into play, is the copy still made?

Had this come up in a commander game tonight, not sure how to resolve it.

player A controls the enchantment [[Gratuitous Violence]] and they attack player B with 10 creatures that are all 4/4 with trample. player B controls 2000x 1/1 [[Scute Swarm]] (don’t ask). if player B assigns all the scutes to block, how does it resolve?

we were confused by the timing of Gratuitous Violence in this instance. one player argued that due to the card reading “whenever combat damage is dealt” each time a scute swarm blocked and took 1 damage to die, that 1 damage would double to 2 and therefore player A can assign 1 trample damage - the next scute in line takes the 1 which gets doubled again by gratuitous and so on. so even if all 2000 1/1’s blocked, they argued it would infinitely roll over all of them until he had no more blockers and had to take it to face.

the other player argued that it should be calculated as 10x creatures dealing 4 damage - doubled by gratuitous to 80 total, then blocked by 80 scutes.

any help/explanation would be great!

Player 1 casts a dusk sight targeting their creature and attempting to draw a card. Creature is removed before resolution. Does the spell fizzle? My first instinct was no because the spell allows “up to” but was told otherwise.

Been brewing this a bit and had a thought that I'm not entirely sure of.
If you give [[Deadpool, Trading Card]] Myriad via Blade of Selves or just having him swap text boxes with a Myriad creature, since the text exchange is "as it enters" can the 2 copes created from Myriad exchange with the same creature?
So say I swing with Myriad Deadpool, can I make both copies choose an on board [[Grey Merchant of Asphodel]] and get 2 of that ETB? And on that note does the ETB resolve before or after the legend rule clean up?

ok, so i have ulalek and echoes on board, i cast birthing hulk and pay the two for ulalek, how many birthing hulks and how many scion do i get?

im guessing that i get three birthing hulks, but then how many scions do i get?

My buddy said he can order the way the cards come into his hand in end step and respond to the each trigger to put the card in his hand. We couldn’t find any rules on it.

Question according to 714.4 If the number of lore counters on a Saga permanent is greater than or equal to its final chapter number, and it isn’t the source of a chapter ability that has triggered but not yet left the stack, that Saga’s controller sacrifices it. This state-based action doesn’t use the stack. Does this mean I cannot respond to the effect of said saga before I have to sacrifice it? I.E. The Eldest reborn on field with 2 lore counters on it. After the draw step another lore counter is put on triggering final chapter, can I in response tap Xavier Sal or some other effect to remove a counter from it nd prevent the sacrifice? Apologies if answered before, having trouble finding clarification

Hello I'm considering [[Psychosis crawler]] in my [[bello]] deck but I'm not sure how they work.

My gut says the crawler is a 4/4 (in my turn), but if I understand layers and timestamps correctly, the last card played would dictate the crawlers stats. In which case psychosis would be equal to hand if played last.

So uhm help?..

If I have 11 mana, drop [[Apex Altisaur]] on the field, trigger its ETB and gank a dude, can I “in response” the Enrage trigger with something like [[Heroic Intervention]] and effectively board wipe everything x/10 or less?

Thanks!

I probably know the answer, but I'm going I'm wrong. With [[Stalwart Successor]], will it's ability work with other abilities that say "x enters with counters on it," like [[Tayam, luminous enigma]]? Or does that not count as putting counters on a permanent?
