1) if i have a dual nature in play and A cast a kavu titan with the kicker does the copy get it too? Nope.
2) Can I use food chain to pay for a creatures kicker? Nope
+ A.20.Ruling.3 - You can only pay kicker costs when playing the spell from
your hand (or when playing it as though it were in your hand). You
cannot pay when the card is put into play directly.
[Invasion FAQ 00/10/03]
3) Why the heck does the kavu agressor have a kicker lol. - Because it makes it feel special.

datfat_1: Are you sure your opponent had a functioning brain stem? A card not in play has no effect on play.

MKL:

1) Can story circle prevent damage dealt by a hurricane? Yes, so long as you declared "green" when casting the Story Circle.
2) Can story circle prevent damage from a Blastoderm? ( It says he can't be the target of spells or abilities, but does it target the Blastoderm?) You can prevent the damage. Story circle doesn't target the blastoderm at all.

Fooath:

Does mana empty from pool at beginning of attack phase? Nope. It empties at the end of each phase, the Pre-Combat Main Phase in your example.

Kyrenaud:

Question on Chimeric Idol. If all of your lands are tapped can you just declare that you are tapping your lands and make it into a creature? Also if you tap your lands do you get man burn???: Chimeric Idol has this ability: {0}: Tap all lands you control. Chimeric Idol becomes a 3/3 artifact creature until end of turn. Tapping your lands is part of the effect, not the cost, and tapping already tapped lands isn't illegal. Since the land isn't tapped for mana, you don't get any mana from the lands and as such would not take burn.

if i have the living lands in play (or any other cards that makes all lands in play creatures) and i have cursed totem in play, does that mean that no lands can be tapped for mana?

Paradigm Shift - You remove ur library from the game, your graveyard becomes ur library.
Rebound - Target spell targets another thing instead.

BTW: Living lands only does forest, you need living planes... or that new natures revolt piece of &^#!@$%.

Paradigm Shift
Text(WL+errata): Remove all cards in your library from the game. Then shuffle your graveyard into your library. [Oracle 99/07/01]

Rebound
Text(SH+errata): Target spell that targets a single player targets another player instead. [Oracle 99/11/01]

You cannot use this on a spell unless the target spell uses the word "target" in its text. If the word "target" is not there, then the spell does not target a player at all. It just affects a player without targeting them. [D'Angelo 99/06/01]

Well from those card texts plus a ruling you can see it does not work. The shift does not have a target.

1.) during damage assignment, he pumps it to a 5/1, so it deals 5 damage to the dragon, and the dragon deals 5 damage to the morphling.

2.) then during damage prevention (i think that's what it's called), he changes the morphling to a 0/6, so it lives and the dragon dies.

and to all the rule answerers, i wouldn't hae answered this normally, but caquaa forgot to answer it, so just telling him cuz im sure DJ Loki would like to know.

ps: i know the morphling combat damage trick is pretty mean...don't blame me...blame those stupid 6th edition rules change

C.1.Ruling.3 - The combat phase can be mapped in a longer form like this:
1. Triggers on "beginning of combat", then chance for instants.
2. Declare attackers.
3. Triggers on attack declaration, then chance for instants.
4. Declare blockers.
5. Triggers on block declaration, then chance for instants.
6. Assign combat damage (but don't deal it yet)
7. Chance for instants.
8. Deal combat damage.
9. Triggers on damage being dealt, then chance for instants.
10. Triggers on "end of combat", then chance for instants.

The morphling will deal 5 damage as long as it is made a 5/1 before #6 and will live if the toughness is made bigger before #8 (ie. during #7).

Proximity39: Yes, he can do that, but the card does not suck like you think it does. This was done in his upkeep, before drawing and after untapping (duh). each one of those phases is, well, a phase. At the end of a phase if there is any mana left in your mana pool you take that much burn. So, if he adds four in response during his upkeep, that mana is in his upkeep. Since it is his upkeep, he can only spend it on instants and interrupts (or, these days only instants). Otherwise he would take the burn when he drew his card.

Tap: Add {color} to your mana pool.

This is an activated ability and thus shut down by cursed totem.

(also, my question earlier is not a show of un-knowningness of the rules, just my friend not knowing squat and not beleiveing me)

I actually know 13 yr olds who are working to be judges.. and kids who were certified since they were 13
for more info on judge certification.. visit www.wizards.com/dci there's a link on the side that says Judge Certification and Training.

you can look up the lvl 3 judges in your area and get in contact with them about getting certified.. and the test is nowhere as easy as you think it is.. the simplier questions on the test are some of the "hardest" to answer ones on the 4 posts so far
