Frankenstein's Monster: (I assume you mean flagbearers) Since the flagbearer can't be the target of spells or abilities, the spells do not have to target it since they can't. Basically the diblimatic imunity will make the flagbearer ability worthless.

Just put a Coalition Flag on a Glimmering Angel, that way you can just activate its ability in response to counter the spell on resolution.

For example, my friend was playing a patterns of rebith deck and let's say i have a morphling out.He sac the creature that has patterns of rebirth on it then go get acedemy rector and saced academy rector. Then he got conficate and i confiscate and he said that i could still control the morphling because it never had the word "target" and could not make it fizzle by making it untargetable. the store ower(judge) came over said he was right on that ruling. Does that mean i could conficae blastoderm with a conficate? or put a armadillo cloak on a blastoderm?

a little q/a:is Planar Voids effect a replacement effect? for example like Serra Avatar, cards never "actually" go into the graveyard but instead leave the game. If so, lets put energy field in play with a planar void, no cards actually hit the graveyard so the field is safe.? If you animate , lets say, a mountain. is it a red creature or just a colorless creature that produces R? If I phase out cards like desolation angel, giant, flametoungue kavus, when they phase back in, do thier abilities re-trigger? just some questions for strange deck ideas.

okay, this is a question that was "Heatedly" debated sat. at a tourney...I have megrim, warped devotion and a black critter out. my opponent has 3 black critters. I washout calling black. According to stack rules, I decide which things pick up first. I choose his 3 critters, then my warped devotion, megrim, then critter.he has to discard 3 from the critters bouncing. the argument is, do I have to discard 3, or does the devotions ability become negated when it goes to my hand? I watched 2 shop owners almost box over this. my 2 cents? the devotions ability resolves AFTER the washout resolves, therefore making me discard 3.lmk! jeezy fer reezy

You are basically right. But you will not "decide" that your opponent picks up the three cards. When Wash Out resolves, first thing you do is choose a color. Then you as an active player pick up your permanents. The trigger condition for the Warped Devotion is met. Your opponent picks up the permanents - the trigger condition for the Megrim and Warped Devotion is met. Wash Out has resolved, you as an active player get priority and have to put both Warped Devotion's and Megrim's abilities on the stack in order as you choose (because they triggered at the same time, during the same event). And as a result, both players have to discard for Warped Devotion. That should be correct. Please note, that according to the 2001 Floor Rules, tournament players are not allowed to bet or wager on the boxing match between the shop owners. Juss DCI Level 1 judge

1) Planar Void Color=Black Type=Enchantment Cost=B US(U1) Text(US): Whenever a card is put into a graveyard, remove that card from the game.
The card does go to the graveyard before it is removed from the game, so other triggered abilities like Energy Field will trigger on the card going to the graveyard. [D'Angelo 99/01/12] It will trigger on itself going to the graveyard from play and remove itself from the game. [D'Angelo 99/01/12] It will trigger on any cards going to the graveyard at the same time it does, and it will remove them from the game. [D'Angelo 99/03/06] If Disenchant is used on it, Planar Void goes to the graveyard (and removes itself), then Disenchant goes to the graveyard and stays there. [DeLaney 99/01/18] That should answer to your question... 2)If the animating effect does not specify the color, then the Mountain is colorless. 3)Phasing in does _not_ trigger the permanent's CIP abilities.

He could get your Morphling because the enchantment (Confiscate) was brought into play directly via Academy Rector's ability. Then the Enchant Creature really does not target the creature. Creature Enchantments target the creature when they are played, but not when they are brought into play directly. Rector or Replenish could help you put 'Dillo Cloaks or Confiscates onto Blastoderm.

Anyone? My friend was trying to build a bird deck but we don't know what counts.

To find your birds, you can check out this page:http://www.crystalkeep.com/magic/rules/summaries.html (easiest way is to check the card rulings file for all cards and search in it)

Sorry for the newbie question but...1. Can you tap tapped permanents? For example, I have two plague rats and a tradewind rider. Can I tap the already tapped rats with the rider for the rider's effect? I think the ruling on this has shifted and I don't know what the current one is... TIA! Edit: Okay, bad example because Tradewind Rider has errata (DOH!) But the question remains, can you tap tapped permanents? Please respond via email if at all possible: derbyttd@hotmail.com

vansylvan: Yes, you can tap a tapped permanent if something says "tap target permanent", but not if it says "tap target untapped permanent". Make sure to check erratas since wording on earlier cards isn't always clear.EX: You can tap a tapped creature with icy manipulator since the only targeting requirement is that it be a target artifact creature, or land (it says nothing about being untapped). Sorry, not worth my time to answer question then e-mail the answer. This way it helps others as well anyways

if you have a creature (EX. spiritmonger) and they wash out can you completely change its color?

Hey guys, I've decided to help out, since I have a very good grasping of rules, and I need the experience and learning since I am trying out for judgeship soon.t_bone67: Using Spiritmonger's ability changes all the colors it once had into the new color. You cannot change only one part of his color...it all changes. But sadly, there is something you need to know. The person casting wash-out does not name the color until the resolution of the spell, so they can just let you change the colors all you want, and then when wash-out resolves, they just name the last color you changed the spiritmonger to. __________________ Stinky cheese is still cheese.Last night I stayed up late playing poker with Tarot cards.

ali_baba: Your question doesn't really belong here, this is the rules post. Anyway, I have no idea so you might want to post it in the trading forum or in a seperate post.t_bone67: You can change the color of Spiritmonger in response to the Wash Out, but whoever played Wash Out chooses the color when it resolves so the Spiritmonger can always be "washed out" if desired - you can't respond to the choice of color.

t_bone67: Nature's Revolt only effects lands that are in play, not the graveyard.Dawnbreaker: No you can not. Blastoderm can not be the target of spells oor abilities at all. __________________

My opponent controls a Soltari Priest enchanted with Pariah. I cast an Urza's Rage with kicker at my opponent. What happens to the damage?

posted July 13, 2001 01:40 AM
Ncromonitor: Tough one, but I'd say the priest is dead. Urza's Rage is not countered on resolution since its target is the opponent, but when it resolves the damage is done to the Priest instead. Normally the damage would be prevented since it's from a red source but since a kickered UR says it can't be prevented that doesn't work.
