If you have Opalescence in play, and you also have Parallax Wave in play, what happens if, say, my opponent targets my wave with snuff out, and to save my wave, i use it's own ability to remove it from play..what happens then, because the wave left, but it removed itself...help...

urza: i think you can... before he declares attackers, that is.

if humility is in play, do creatures with fading lose that ability?

Scenario:
I use 4 Worldly Tutors to find 4 Skyshroud Behemoth. then use Call of the Wild to put them into play. I have Humility and Runed Arch (X, tap, sacrifice Runed Arch: X creatures with power no greater than 2 cannot be blocked this turn. Other effects may later be used to increase a creature's power beyond 2.)in play.
Next turn, i sack the arch and declare my four 1/1 behomoths unblockable, than i renounce the humility and attack my opponents. can i do that?
note italicized text.
thanx.

urza, not in responce, but normally before they declare the attack, i think. you can during declare attackers phase where you tap the creature so it can't attack. if they are already tapped, you can't make it work

in response to his attack phase you can tap a creature but this means he can restart his attack phase.
If you let it go past that and he has declared attackers then the ring does nothing

so what does that mean? no damage would be dealt with that attacker right?

Da-odd-templar: Parallax Wave has errata on it such that if it removes itself from the game it will not return to play.

Urza: You can use the ring of gix to tap a creature in response to him declaring an attack. If you do so it cannot participate in the attack, being tapped. Once he declares the creature as an attacker, however, it taps and the ring will be useless.

Selvaxri: I'd assume as such, since fading IS a triggered ability. As to the other question, this is the way it works. First an important note, you can't worldy tutor for 4 behemoths since they would be continually reshuffled. Beyond that, however, your scenario works and you can attack with 4 unblockable 10/10's. If anyone has any questions as to why, I'll explain further.

Gaeacradle: 1) Player A would not die. This is because he would lose 4 life and then gain back 4 life before state based effects were checked. State-based effects only take effect when priority is given to a player or during the cleanup step. 2) Yes

I know this question is old, but I just want to know, do you lose the life if the counterspell a Hatred. A simple yes or no will do fine.

What affect does Mana Web have on the opponent now that the evil stack has been introduced? It used to be one of the most broken cards before the stack, but it as released before 6th ed, so exactly what does it do? Is it a useless card now?

Dear motl'er,
I saw u were a judge at motl and I have a question. How does Mana Web
from Weatherlight(3, artifact, when comes into play, target a player,
whenever target player taps a land, tap all lands that players controls that
can produce mana of that type and color). I don't get how it works. It seems
really broken, but now that the stack is used, i may be wrong. lmk. Also,
does Mana Web make the opponent add the mana from the tapped lands or
something? I'm confused..


and just today.. I got this email from jiggyrapper@cs.com

Dear motl'er,
You posted at my topic about some MM-PY rulings pretty upset. I said your
topic seemed to be filled with a bunch of people that felt more concerned
with getting more posts than helping people out because if the helpers
actually wanted to help, they'd e-mail the askee of the question instead of
posting an answer about 5 posts below the post where the question was asked.
I mean, it as downright ridiculous after the 6th or 7th page to keep posting
answers. What kind of an idiot posts an answer to a question that was asked
on the 6th page on the 7th page? Why not just e-mail them the answers? Not
everybody that asked a question would check back at that topic.

notice the difference in the @cs.com? hrmm I wonder..

just thought everyone would like to know..

got some more questions for you kewl ppl..

1.) If I have 2 Parallax Waves and Opalescence, and I remove one wave using the other's ability, does the removed-from-play wave lose fading counters during it's upkeep...i think it shouldnt...after all, it's out of the game...but need to know for sure.

2.) Do you have to discard down to 7 at the end of your opponent's turn?...question, because someone at a local tournament played bargain and drew load of cards during opponent's turn, then didn't discards on purpose...

thanx for all the answers, u guyz!

Let's say I'm replenishing a Seal of Cleasing and an Opalescene into play with a Cursed Totem On the board. I know I can stack it the way that the Seal comes into play before the Opalescene comes into play (see PandeBurst). But can I sacifice the Seal of Cleansing to destroy the Crused Totem before the Opalescene comes into play? I'm afraid I can't. Please let me know. Thank you!

Da-Odd-Templar: 1) The wave will not lose counters if it is not in play. A wave removed by a second wave will return to play when the second wave leaves play.
2) No, only at the end of your turn do you have to discard down to 7.
3) The difference is that he's declaring his INTENT to attack. He can't actually move into his attack phase until you let him. Before you let him, you can tap the appropriate creature, but as soon as he declares it as an attacker you can't use the ring of gix to any effect.

Bloody: By the time the Seal of Cleansing has time to be sacrificed, the opalescence is in play and the Cursed Totem prevents this from working. Again, I hate Replenish/Opalescence questions so I hope this is right.

Rampant growth puts a land into play, so it doesn't trigger the horns.

hi everybody, im really bored, so i guess i will ask you a question

let's say you are playing against someone who has a clinical fear of squid. Then, you play volrath's laboratory, and choose squid. If i make a token and attack my opponent, do I lose because I took advantage of their fear?

I have a question about stroke of Genius. Say i stroke a person for more than he had in his library. Would he/she lose then or at the begginning of his/her draw step?

Magic1264, you lose whenever you can't draw a card, whether in the middle of a Stroke or during your Draw step.

Got a question .... I'm pretty sure this is correct, but I have been out of Magic for a bit, so it may have changed.

I have a Tangle Wire and an Umbilicus. During my upkeep, I put Tangle Wire on stack, then Umbilicus. I resolve Umbilicus first and return the Wire. Then there is no Wire to resolve.

Is this correct? Email as I really don't want to dig through posts.
