2.) if my negator attacks, and it receives, lets say 4 damage, and i only have 3 permanents in play, can i sac off the negator
as part of its ability, so i dont have to sac off anything else?

3.) question concerning the stack: what speed are different things that go on the stack...like saccing off, mana sources, and so on.

4.) if my opponent casts a spell, and i power sink it for enough to counter it, can my opponent tap his remaining land for mana as a fast effect to play an instant or ability?

1)You activate Adept's ability, which goes on the stack. Opponent Plays Heat Ray in response, targetting Adept, which goes on the stack.

Heat Ray resolves, dealing damage to Adept. Then Adept's ability resolves. Removing the source, does not stop the effect from happening.

2)You may sacrifice Negator as part of it's drawback, but that does not prevent you from paying the rest of the drawback.

3)Pretty vague question, but sacrificing permanents as part of the cost of an ability, and mana sources do not go on the stack at all. They happen instantly.

4) Yes, of course. As long as he/she does it before Power Sink resolves.

Magic1264: braingeyser is not allowed in extended.. last time I checked.. the only discontinuted cards from revised allowed in extended were dual lands.. now if you meant 1.5.. its still banned..
secondly.. Fallen empires is no longer legal to play in extended.. so they were cheating.. unless of course.. as I Said.. u were playing 1.5 in which case.. geyser is still banned.

Imagenyuss: yes.
LANDhome is defined as: if opponent controls LAND, this creature may attack, at any time which you dont control LAND, destroy this creature. you may not regenerate it. (or something along those lines.. dont remember specific wording, tho they are explained on the cards)

Yawgmoth's Lackey: necro has been reworded a few times.. might want to check up on the current wording of necro first.. if still have a question then... post it here

The only cards I know of that have Islandhome are Kukemssa Serpent and Manta Ray. I don't think anything else with Xxxxhome exists. (I looked these up in Apprentice)

TemptingElf: I have asked a rather competent judge (the person who I did my certification udner) the question...

here is the answer I got from him.. although I'll see what I get from the lvl 4 netrep and post it later.

Opalesence makes Tide/Wave into creatures.. they remove stuff.. (ability..)
Humility comes into play... creatures (tide/wave) losses abilities... (including fading, or anything else that triggers at beginning of upkeep.. whatever)
so they stop fading. the becomes 1/1's that sit in play... if humility leaves play.. everything returns to normal.. next upkeep (yours) they begin to do their fading again..
however.. if u manage to kill wave/tide while they are 1/1's under humility's influence.. their leave play abilities/effects wont trigger.. thus permenately removing creatures/lands/cards(nexus too) in hand from the game.

Magic1264: uh... I think Iakae said it a few pages ago.. he learned the hard way that one should never ever try to clone/vesuvan a legend.

when squee goes into the graveyard does his ability to come back to your hand during you upkeep go on the stack? Can you (I forgot what the cards was called but you can tap it to remove target card on the botom of players graveyard from the game) use that ability in response to squee going back to owners hand. I know you can use the ability at any time except untap, but just for the sake well say it is during upkeep.
