he says that if you played replenish, and the only enchantment in the graveyard was 'dillo cloak, and the only creature was a "blasto-fattie" could you put the cloak on the fattie.

secondly.
if treachery was the only card, could it target the blasto and get the 5 lands.

to both of these i said no.

megaman84: Yes, it's possible to put the Cloak on a Blastoderm since the moving of the Enchantment doesn't actually target. An enchantment only targets when it is played, not when it's moved.

E.8.Ruling.1 - None of the enchantment moving spells and abilities require
the targeting of the new destination of the enchantment, so you can move
the enchantment onto a permanent that could not normally be targeted by a
spell or ability. [Mirage, Page 56] For example, you can move an
enchantment onto Deadly Insect.

So it would be possible aswell to put a Treachery on a Blastoderm, but you won't get to untap 5 lands because of Treachery's errata (the untapping only happens when it's played from your hand).

boogidy_boogidy: I can see what you're getting at, but that wouldn't work I'm afraid. Check this ruling on Eureka to make it clear:

My opponent has a Chilling Apparition in play, and I have a Pyre Zombie in play. He has only 1 untapped swamp, and I have a Rishadan Port in play. Before my attack phase, I use the Port on his untapped swamp. In response, he taps the swamp and says that he's using it to regenerate the Apparition. I object, but he says it's a regeneration shield, and to ask on IRC if I don't believe him. I do, and ppl there confirm his play.

Can anyone confirm that this is now legal? Can you also give me the ruling, and the web link to the rules, so I can read up on them?

Here's what the glossary of the 6th edition rule book says about regeneration:

Regenerate
Regeneration is a destruction-replacement effect. "Regenerate [permanent]" means "The next time [permanent] would be destroyed this turn, instead remove all damage from it, tap it, and (if it’s in combat) remove it from combat." Because it’s a replacement effect, it must be active before the attempted destruction event. Note that if destruction is caused by lethal damage, any abilities that trigger from that damage being dealt still trigger even if the permanent regenerates.

let's say i have a shivan wurm and sap burst with 1 token on it. can i play the shivan wurm, make a 0/0 token, and return it to my hand to keep the wurm in play?

yes, of course he can...the powersink goes on the stack, and until it resolves, then he can tap his lands to play something in response to the powersink.

My opponent has an 11/12 Auratog with trample and attacks with it. I block with Uncle Istvan (1/3 and "All damage done to Uncle Istvan by creatures is reduced to 0."). I think the 11 points will be reduced to 0 by Uncle Istvan's special ability, so that no damage will make it through to me. My opponent thinks only the 3 points equal to Uncle Istvan's toughness will be reduced to 0 and that the remaining 8 will make it through to me. What does everyone else think?

He only needs to assign lethal damage to the uncle isty, regardless of all abilities.

From Crystalkeep
Assigning damage from a Trample creature only considers the actual
toughness of the creature, not any abilities or effects that might prevent
or redirect damage once it is assigned. [CompRules 99/04/23] For example,
if a 2/2 creature with Protection from Green blocked a Force of Nature,
you would only need to assign 2 damage to it, even though that damage will
be prevented by the ability during damage prevention.
[WotC Rules Team 98/10/18] Another way of thinking of this is that you
need to assign enough damage that the creature would be lethally damaged
if nothing prevented or redirected the damage. [D'Angelo 99/05/01]

Combat Damage
Combat damage is dealt during the combat damage step of the combat phase by attacking creatures and blocking creatures. It doesn't include damage dealt by spells and abilities during the combat phase. See rule 310, "Combat Damage Step."

Yes, playing Fog or something similar would prevent all combat damage dealt to you by attacking creatures (you'd have to play it before any combat damage resolves ofcourse).

Shadrach Storm: Your opponent is correct, trample makes it possible to assign damage to the player after at least lethal damage has been assigned to the blocking creatures. So in this example, he can assign up to 8 damage to you.

reinhart: (1) Calming Verse?? I think you mean Multani's Decree? (Destroy all enchantments. You gain 2 life for each enchantment destroyed this way) You couldn't cast it "on" the Fires, it's a nontargetting spell that destroys all enchantments. Anyway, when using Multani's Decree and the Fires is sacced in response, you wouldn't gain any life for it since it's not being destroyed by Multani's Decree.
(2) No, that's not possible. If you were to use the Burst's ability in response to Shivan Wurm's gating ability the 0/0 token would be put in the graveyard as a statebased effect (and as another statebased effect, would cease to exist immediatelly afterwards). So it won't be there when the Shivan Wurm's gating ability resolves.
(3) I assume the Llanowar Elves is yours aswell - when the Shivan Wurm's gating ability resolves, you'll have to return a green or red creature to your hand. Since the BoP's already destroyed, you can either take back the Wurm itself or the Llanowar Elves. The gating effect is NOT targeted, and the choice is made on resolution of the triggered ability.
