Let me quote the Meridian Magic Q&A and L3 judge Michael Kastberg here:

Q: If I fork an Urza's Rage, is the fork uncounterable?
A: Yes. Urza’s Rage effecttively says ” ~this~ can't be countered by spells or abilities”. Fork copies that

An advice: read the Oracle.

Hidden Gibbons
Color=Green Type=Enchantment Cost=G UL(R1)
Text(UL+errata): When an opponent plays an instant spell, if ~this~ is an enchantment, ~this~ becomes a 4/4 Ape creature. [Oracle 99/05/01]

When it turns into a creature, it no longer counts as an enchantment. [Urza's Saga Rule Page]
It changes into a creature even if the spell is countered. [D'Angelo 99/05/01]
It becomes a creature when the spell is played (which means announced), which is before the spell resolves. A Disenchant cannot be used to destroy this card, since it will no longer be an enchantment when the Disenchant resolves. [D'Angelo 99/02/13]

So the answers to your questions are: you can cast Disenchant on Gibbons, but it will be countered upon resolution because the Gibbons is no longer an enchantment. Disenchant does not kill Hidden Gibbons.

Tranquility, however, is a sorcery and therefore takes down the Gibbons, unless some instant is played before Tranquility resolves.

Goas, it is obvious he is just being an idiot. I think you can TRY to understand that. Please stop going around posting that you don't understand. It is MAD annoying(if you really don't understand, just pretend you don't look stupid)

Can I have pariah and treacherous link on the same creature? What will happen if I do put both of them on the same creature?

(Pariah says all damage dealt you gets redirected to enchanted creature)

posted February 27, 2001 04:35 AM            

1) Adding a kickered Orim´s Chant on stack as a response to Boomerang will not stop Boomerang from resolving. It will prevent spells from being played after it has resolved.

2) Removing the source of an ability does not stop the ability. Ability exists independently of its source once put on stack, so Terroring a Mother of Runes would do nothing to the prot: black it would give.

It will work both way -- if someone responds with a Terror to your MoR ability or if you use MoR in response to a Terror. The latter is actually strategically correct way of using Mother of Runes. Most of the time.

Keep in mind that you will choose the color of MoR protection ability during the resolution, not the announcement. You will choose a target during announcement.

You sure can have them on the same creature. Maybe Oracle will answer your question:
T.10.8 - Each replacement effect gets only one opportunity to apply to each
event. For example, a player controls two copies of a permanent with the
ability "instead of dealing their normal damage, creatures you control
deal double that damage." A creature that normally deals 1 damage will
deal 4 damage, not just 2, and not an infinite amount.
[CompRules 99/04/23] For another example, if a creature has both
Pariah and Treacherous Link on it, then there is no loop. The
damage always ends up where it would have been if neither had been there.
[D'Angelo 00/01/02]

It works like this:
You are dealt damage. Pariah will apply and redirect damage to enchanted creature. Then Treacherous Link will apply and redirect damage back to you. Since Pariah has already done its job on this damage source, it will not redirect this damage again.
or
Your creature is dealt damage. T. Link redirects it to you, Pariah redirects it to the creature.

I hope that makes it more clear. I can quote more rules, but I suggest you to read sections G.12 and T.10 from Oracle General Rulings summary.

How is that? The gibbons is a creature when the tranquility resolves, right?

Note - All cards of type interrupt have errata to be of type instant.

Tranquility is a sorcery. Hidden Gibbons turns into a creature when an instant spell is played by an opponent.

Say I've got Zirlian of the Claw in play and use its ability to bring a Dragon into play. After my attack and damage is dealt, if I have a way to bounce the summoned dragon back to my hand before the end of turn step begins, can I avoid the Zirlian's effect of having to remove the summoned dragon from the game? If this works, how "late" can I bounce the dragon without having to remove it from the game?

---

Zirilan of the Claw
Color=Red Type=Creature - Legend Cost=3RR MI(R1)
Text(MI+errata): 3/4 ; {1}{R}{R},{Tap}: Search your library for a Dragon card and put that card into play. Then shuffle your library. That Dragon gains haste until end of turn. At end of turn, remove it from the game. [Oracle 99/07/01]
If the Dragon is brought into play and then phases out, the "At end of turn remove it from the game" will be forgotten. [D'Angelo 98/10/30]
Note - Also see Haste, Rule A.18.

The Dragon will be removed from the game only if it is in play when the Claw's "remove" ability resolves. Bouncing would be a good idea, your idea works. Claw has an ability which triggers "at the end of turn", that means, when End of Turn step begins. The ability is put on stack and you should bounce your Dragon before it resolves. So the answer to your question is that the End of Turns step is "late enough" to bounce, just be careful with passing priority.

Karma
Color=White Type=Enchantment Cost=2WW ABUR45(U1)
Text(5th+errata): At the beginning of each player's upkeep, ~this~ deals to that player damage equal to the number of swamps he or she controls. [Oracle 00/02/01]
Amount of damage is determined in when effect is resolved and not when it is placed on the stack. [D'Angelo 95/10/05]

You will take alot of damage at once, the amount being equal to the number of swamps you control when Karma's ability resolves. In your example, you will take 5 damage, _not_ 1+1+1+1+1, and you can use for example CoP: White only once to prevent all that damage.

These are both Ruleing taken straight off of Krystal Keep... I was recently playing in a torny, and had a Illusions Donated to me (With 2 as the *** . Upkeep)... I wanted to stack the upkeep, then pay 2. But, my opponent told me I was wrong, and also stalling... So, I lose, even though I did not even finish my upkeep, because my opponent was repeatly telling me I was wrong, and stalling, and was also running it.. I think I was correct, and definantly not stalling.

Please e-mail me an awnser as soon as you can. Thank You. If you can't e-mail me, then just reply.
