king masticore: yes the giant growth will counter itself

reinhart: it totally depends how the attacker wants to assign damage.. but he at least has to assign enuff that would kill the blocking creature(s) before he can spill anything over to you.

mageman: he has to declare it.
key word to nether spirit.. you MAY return it
he looses contamination.
2. depends really.. if it can affect how u shuffle and cut and draw.. yes... if its just a scratch.. I'd have to say no

raker: library of leng deals with forced discard.. not discard as costs... so no you cant put discarded cards used as payment of cost back on top of the library.

yawgmoth's lackey: sacrificing is usually a cost... when declared.. costs are paid.. therefore.. sacrificing is done before any response can be done to it. sure.. sac is the cost.. but taking your feeder is on the stack.. and will have to wait and resolve just like all other effects.

degeneration_x: 1. yes
2. no (note.. you cant do anything on someone's untap STEP *not phase anymore*. first time you can play effects is on someone's upkeep.)
3. yes
4. guru is a program designed to teach new players how to play magic.

master: payment is declared.. so he pays 10 (assuming he's at 20) for the first time.. and his life is already at 10.. if you disenchant the second in response, and he pays half again.. he pays half of his current 10.. which is 5.. which leaves him at 5.. note.. the payment of life as cost doesnt go on the stack.. only the effect of turning the enchantment to creature is on the stack.

slim: here's what you do.. you block the 2/2 with the factory.. let damage go on the stack.... his creature is assigning 2 to the factory.. factory dealing 2 to his creature... then tap the factory to give itself +1/+1.. damage is dealt.. his creature dies as it took 2.. but factory will live since it now has a toughness of 3 and took only 2.

davidian: you can kill the hydra.. but it wont stop the 5 damage coming to you... have a look in the rules.. section 402.6
there it says once an ability or effect is on the stack (removing fade counters to deal adamage).. removing the source (hydra) doesnt remove the effects/ability from the stack.. they will resolve as normal unless countered.

kworb: well outside of combat.. this effect/ability has no use. your opponent can pump as much mana into the wall as he/she wants.. but this will only work during combat.. when the wall has legally blocked something... so this only works if used after declare blockers and before the end of the combat phase.

swoll: plateau counts as a mountain

selvaxri: yes.. if you cant draw when you are required to.. then you lose.. unless you got a way to prevent yourself from drawing.. or something that specifically says you dont lose from inability to draw.
2. I'll have to say you cant sac what you dont control.

legolas: well.. I'll have to clarify this a bit..
he plays a goblin.. it resolves.. still main phase.. now.. its his priority to play spells and effects (you cant do stuff until you get priority..) and the next time you get priority is after he declares grenade onto the stack.. using the goblin as the cost of sacrifice.. so the lawbringer ability couldnt be used.

as for answering.. I was hoping kevin would get to them.. as I'm quite busy with work.. I get home at 12 midnight everyday..

rhysticlynx:
If the Cauldron leaves play, you can still play any spells it removed from the game as though they were in your hand. You
just no longer have access to the mana you charged the Cauldron with. [D'Angelo 00/03/09]

meblank: if done in reverse order.. you lose the creature as the snuff out would resolve before the cho-manno's blessing.

avenger: desert twister targets a perm
2. he looks at his own hand and discards.

damankillaking: fade is on the stack.. if you cant remove a fade counter.. it is sac'd

vellu: cave-in is a sorcery...
fault line is fine.

slim: about morphling.. for all purposes.. u generally treat negative power as 0.. however.. they are still the number they are.. say I pumped morphling to -97/103
now.. if you look at it.. its 0/103
however.. its still actually -97.. so if I tried to giant growth it.. it'd become -94/106
but the 0 is still looked at as a 0

Ok, I have a question now, still on the topic of sacrifice. If I cast Diabolic edict, can he do anything in response to it? like return his only creature to his hand, or something like that..

What if you have a Bargain and I call my Disenchant? Can you draw 5 cards in response or does the Bargain go after the first one? What if you call the draw and I disenchant in response?

You can Disenchant in response to him using Crooked Scales but the effect of Crooked Scales will still resolve.

If you Disenchant first he can draw any number of cards in response, if he draws first you can Disenchant in response but then he can draw any number of cards in response to that again.

Here's another question:
My opponent casts Lightning Bolt. I play Mana Drain in response. He responds to my Drain with another Lightning Bolt. Can i cast Fork to copy my Mana Drain so i can counter both? Do i get one or two red mana in my next main phase?

And another one: (this has really come up in a game, i'm not just trying to be a pain)
I have a vesuvan doppleganger out. I play a clone, and declare that i'm coppying the 'ganger. Is the clone another vesuvan, or what the vesuvan was copying, or does it change to copy whatever the vesuvan copies?
Then, (as you can tell someone really wanted to annoy me) he proceeded to clone his clone, and tap his doppleganger to copy the second clone. What happens?

posted July 11, 2000 01:58 PM            

Question 1: Is this an added ability (as I suspect), or a replacement ability? In other words, if I cast it on a Forest, can I choose to use the Forest's normal ability of "T:Add G to your mana pool" or whether to tap it for two mana? (I'm guessing I get to choose which mana ability I'm tapping for)

Question 2: If this is played on a depletion land such as Hickory Woodlot, as long as I announce that I am tapping the Woodlot using the ability added by Overlaid Terrain, could I avoid removing the depletion counter and thereby prevent eventual sacrifice of the depletion land? (I'm guessing I can avoid removing depletion counters)

Question 3: Do the "two mana of any color" mean I can pick one each of two different colors, or do I have to receive two mana of the same color? (I'm guessing I can pick two different colors).

I'm beginning to think that this is a potentially awesome card in green multicolor decks. (or green of any sort)

turn since it is animated, creating
infinite turns as long as I stay below
