Imagenyuss:
A.26 - Shadow
A.26.1 - The ability is written "Shadow". [CompRules 99/04/23]
A.26.2 - A creature without Shadow cannot be assigned to block a creature
with Shadow. A creature with Shadow cannot be assigned to block a
creature without Shadow. [CompRules 99/04/23]
A.26.3 - Shadow is a non-cumulative ability. Having Shadow more than once gives no additional effect. See Rule A.1.2. [CompRules 99/04/23]
A.26.Ruling.1 - Shadow includes an evasion ability (see Rule A.13), so it is cumulative with other evasion abilities. [CompRules 99/04/23] A.26.Ruling.2 - It is possible for Banding to result in a Shadow creature blocking or being blocked by a non-Shadow creature. This is not illegal.[D'Angelo 98/02/03]More questions like these, I like easy ones 
Actually I am just getting lazy, hehehe.

My friend has a CRAZY and what somewhat seems a broken combo.If you flicker something like parallax tide, and have removed lands with the game with this, will the lands come back into play or will they stay removed from the game? The way he explains it makes sense. He says that nothing can happen while the stack is resolving(i looked it up, i saw it is true) so that means the lands will stay removed from the game. I just want to make sure of this, cause he has almost all but 7 cards from making his idea reality. Thanx

when parallax tide leaves play the lands come back. you can also use hoodwink or boomerang, or just wait for it to fade out. removed from the game, in your hand, graveyard, its all the same to the phased out lands. __________________

Mana Maze/Colation Victory.
If the colation is casted with a mana maze in play does it cover all spell colors for that turn?Also if I had a blind seer out and change the color of the colation victory would that change the effect? Someone told me that combo isnt possible, but lmk please maybe by e-mail if possible.

Coalition Victory/Mana maze does make it so nobody can play any spells until end of turn. So it can't be countered, i'm pretty sure..
I'm not too sure about the blind seer mana maze though.

pmtime-Yes, someone can play a counterspell targeting the mongoose. They receive all the benefits of playing the counter, except the mongoose is not countered. The "trick" with absorb, where you gain the life despite the spell not being countered, can also be used by dismiss...your opponent plays an uncounterable spell, i play dismiss...your spell still resolves, but I also draw the card from dismiss. If the mongoose said "This cannot be the target of spell or abilities while it is being cast"...then nobody could even target it with a counterspell.This little trick is also useful when your opponent plays a urza's rage with kicker...just target it with absorb...the rage still resolves normally, but first you gain 3 life

ok 2 questions:1. Is dark ritual considered a mana source or an instant?
2. If ritual is a mana source, does it count towards your 1 spell a turn limit with Yawgmoths Agenda? Thanks!

da-odd-templar: are u sure that u gain life from absorb...i found somethin at WizardsOfTheCoast that said "If Absorb itself gets countered, either directly or for having an illegal target on resolution, you gain no life."just my 2 cents... __________________

Counterspells can be played that target it, but when they resolve they simply don't counter it since it can't be countered. [Invasion FAQ 00/10/03]Notice it says when they resolve. The mongoose can be targeted by the absorb, and the absorb resolves normally, it's just that the counterspell part of it fails, that's all. You still gain life, unless the target is removed, or the absorb itself is countered. __________________

sac abilities don't go first, they just go on the stack first. since you sacrificed them in order to put an effect on the stack, they can't do anything in response to get rid of whatever you sacrificed, just to prevent or redirect or avoid the effect. I have a qeustion: If you cast mana maze, can you cast another blue spell later that turn? __________________

it takes four, not twelve firststrike scrybs to kill the sengir vampire, right? First Strike Damage is dealt before the Sengier"Whenever a creature damaged by ~this~ this
turn is put into a graveyard, put a +1/+1 counter on ~this~" Um....the scrybs never hit the graveyard, and so the sengir doesn't get any counters to go above 4/4. Right?

reinhart: the Sengier Vampire had first strike not the scrybs...4 scrybs took 1 dmg each and went into the graveyard cuz first strike...making the Vamp a 8/8...the 8 other scrybs do their dmg and kills the vampire.

Back to Beefcake's question on the previous page...
If a Verduran Enchantress is in play and an enchantment is cast, is it possible to prevent the card-drawing ability by countering the enchantment?
I think from Caquaa's answer before that the controller of the Enchantress would still draw, but I'd appreciate clarification  __________________

gzeiger:
Verduran Enchantress
Text(6th): 0/2. Whenever you play an enchantment spell, you may draw a card. The ability is a triggered ability (see Rule A.4). Whenever you announce an enchantment spell, you immediately get the option of drawing a card as part of the triggered ability. [D'Angelo 99/05/01] Whenever you anounce an enchantment spell you get to trigger the ability to draw a card if you wish. Even if a person then anounces a counterspell targeting the enchantment you will have already triggered the enchantress' ability. Note: The enchantress' ability is now a triggered ability, not an activated ability so cards like bind or interdict also do not work. __________________

What are the rules for regenration?
Also, I regen my core, can my bro bolt it in response to the regen?
Also, why was Strip Mine's ability an interrupt not an instant back in the old days?__________________

Since nobody else seems to be responding, i'll try to do this off the top of my head.
StriderHry:
You can regenerate as many times as you want in one turn as long as you have the mana for it.
Strip Mine's ability was an interrupt because back then they still had interrupts and mana sources, now everything is just instants.
Imagenyuss
The attacker decides how to assign the damage. When assigning the first one, he has to deal 3 to the wall, but when assigning the second, he can assign 2 to the wall and 1 to you, or 3 to the wall.
Imagenyuss:
No. They already put that card on the stack, so you can't make them discard it.
MKL:
Yes, the new wording says sacrifice it unless you discard a card at random from your hand.
Thrash Golem:
No, mana maze looks back and sees that IT was the spell last played that turn.

Crap, I misread. Sorry about that I have Stinging Barrier with Charisma on it. My opponent Unsummons his Ramosian Captain but I ping it with the barrier. Do I get it or does it return to hand? What if it were a 1/1 instead? Would it return to the opponent's hand or would I have killed it?
