1. Can you pump morphling beyond it's toughness(say pump it to 10/0) after blocking is declared but before combat damage resolves?

2. Can you pump morphling to 5/1, have it deal combat damage, then pump it back to a 0/6 to save it's hide?

3. Can you pump morphling to something like a 0/10?

4. If you pump a creature while combat damage is being dealt, can i snuff out the creature so it can't deal that damage?

5. If someone sacrifices thankos deciever(excuse mispelling) to take rhox, can i sacrifice shock troops to deal deciever damage and therefore stop him from taking rhox?

1. if i attack my opponent with any number of creatures (more than one) can my opponent block all of them with one strong creature, or just 1 for 1?
i always thought it was 1 on 1 but people keep telling me differeint!

2. If i attack with a creature and my opponent doesnt block, can i play a wild might or might of oaks to pump up the damage without him being able to do anything about it?

merfolksaprazza: if he didnt choose blue.. then the snap would be legal..
the ward of lights goes to its owners graveyard.

selvaxri: one of the SBE is that if a creature's toughness is 0 or below.. it dies.. period.. no way to prevent this... if its toughness by some way or another resolved to below 1.. its in the graveyard. (or in some cases, another zone)

rhysticlynx: pls let me do the answering..
sure your answers were partially correct.. I dont want ppl confused when others throw their halves in..

wonderdud: 1. generally.. blocking is done on a 1 to 1 basis..(given all blocks are legal).. of course.. there are abilities and effects that let creatures block more than 1 creature.. remember.. a card always has higher priority than the game rules. so if something in play. or a creature in play says it can block mroe than 1.. than it can..

2. sure.. read up on combat steps in the rules.. its helpful

3. as for emailing you answers.. that I dont do.. if u want answers.. then check back.. everyone else does.

Misdirection

1. Can you misdirection a withdraw?
2. Does a spells new target have to be legal?
3. Can you misdirect a Bribery at yourself?

Withdraw

1. Does there have to be two legal targets out when i play it?
2. Does he pay the 1 before or after i pick the second creature?

Miscellaneous

1. If you damage a Ancient Silverback with incinerate, then damage with lightning bolt, can it regenerate?

2. I have an understanding that sacrifice is the fastested ability in the game. So, when you sacrifice something, does the ability it used to sacrifice go on the stack or no?

3. If you have a legendary land out(lets say cradle), you play the second cradle, can you tap it for mana before it leaves play?

4. This may sound stupid, but is there anyway you can stop the ability of a vangaurd(just making sure)?

Thank you for your time

urza: yes.. it'll just be a 2/2 masticore until end of turn..

after massacre resolved, it was a 2/2 with 2 damage dealt to it..

magic1246: no, it has 2 targets upon declaration.
2. You choose the spell to target on announcement, but you pick the new target for that spell on resolution. [bethmo 99/11/30]
If there is no other legal target for the spell, Misdirection does not change the target. [D'Angelo 00/07/24]

yes.. it does.. or misdirection doesnt change the target as D'Angelo's Ruling Summary says..
3. bribery says target opponent.

withdraw: 1. yes.. requires 2 legal targets.. (only removal of both targets will counter the spell)
2. he pays 1 after you declare the both creatures and the first targetted is back in its owners hand.

misc: 1. incinerate stops a creature from regenerating if it dealt damage to the creature. so.. no.. it wont be able to regenerate if incinerate dealt it damage.(note prevented damage counts as never dealt)
2. sacrifice is usually a cost... costs are paid upon declaration of the ability/effects that require them. the ability however still goes on the stack..
3. no.. thats no longer legal under 6th edition rules.
4. you mean defiant vanguard? unless you got a way to make the creature leave play, no.. it will be destroyed.. (note.. changing it from a creature to say.. an enchantment with soul sculptor wont prevent it from being destroyed.)

it says, "During each player's upkeep, put a Saproling token into play. Treat this token as a 1/1 green creature."

thanks

1- I understand that giving a creature protection from a colour makes all enchantments of that colour illegal and hence fall off (ie if you reverent mantra green, rancors fall off) however if this is the case I'm trying to workout if/how/why if you chomannos blessing a creature and name white does the blessing immediately just fall off? I'm assuming no (otherwise white ward would've been stupid) however i' realy like to know the technicalities of it.

2- (not really a rulings question) how much power does a judge really have? a year or so ago i played in a big 1.x tourney ($500 1st is big here) and i was held about 2 days after saga became legal. I had noticed the yawg will/ritual combo and had designed a deck based pretty much on that kill. I rocked up confident in the knowledge that for once I had been the first (in aus at least) to find the new super stoopid combo deck tech. just before the registration i mentiooned it to a friend. He told me it didnt work and when I asked he said 'because it just doesn't. It's too stoopid and they'd never let me get away with it'. a bit concerned I asked one of the judtges. He said no i couldnt because it was stoopid. I was worried that they'd just turf me out if i contested so i just dropped and played in teh draft events instead. (Sorry about the long story) but my question is could they really do that? I mean just say NO we say the ruling doesnt work cos we dont like that? and if so how come it didnt happen with waylay since that's basically the same abuse of timing rules?
