A Morphling requires five mana to kill a Serra Angel and live. A blue mana gives it flying to block. Another mana makes Morphling 4/2, then damage goes on the stack - 4 points to the Angel and 4 to the Morphling. You respond with three more mana, making the Morphling 1/5. Then combat damage resolves. The important thing here is that the amount of damage dealt only depends on the creatures' power when damage was assigned, so both Morphling and Serra Angel receive 4 damage, but Morphling now has 5 toughness and lives.

There's a reason his name is Superman, after all

Metathran Transport
1UU, Creature — Ship 1/3, Invasion Uncommon
Flying
Metathran Transport can’t be blocked by blue creatures.
U: Target creature becomes blue until end of turn.

If I have a MT in play, and attack my opponent with it, and then he blocks it with a creature whose color is not blue(i.e. Serra), can I use the MT's ability to change the blocker into a blue creature, and thereby the damage would go through to my opponent? Or, is the MT considered blocked already, and no damage is assigned? I'm thinking I have to make the blockers blue before they are assigned to the MT.

Edit: No responses here, say I do this at End of Turn with Cho-Manno's Blessing. During my turn, can he tap my creature?

agzz: Nope, those cards aren't actually in your hand so you can't discard them.

Yawgmoth's Agenda:
The cards in your graveyard are not considered to be in your hand for any reason other than for playing them. For example, you can't discard them. [Invasion FAQ 00/10/03]

Living Lands:
K.5.1 - If a spell or ability changes a permanent's type, it replaces all previous and current permanent types. The spell or ability may list permanent types which remain. For example, Stalking Stones says that it remains a land when it changes into a creature. [CompRules 99/04/23]

The effect of the two animations are applied in the order in which they came into play, so the most recent effect "wins."

lotus master - First strike does work when blocking. During combat, all first strike creatures deal their damage simultaneously, and dead creatures are put into the graveyard. Then any surviving creatures without first strike deal their damage simultaneously.

Player B is at 3 life and has Worship and a lotta Rebels, none of which are pro-Black OR have a toughness >= 3.

If Player A Crypt Rats-es for 3, does it defeat Player B right then?

2)If someone plays haups, or obliterate and you play harrow in response, do the lands you get from harrow all gone?

3)If you have a llanowar elves and tap them for 1 mana, then your opponent sacrifices a keg with one counter, do you still get the mana from the elves?

What happens if I have two Urborg Shamblers in play?

Urborg Shambler, 2BB
All other black creatures get -1/-1.
4/3

If I have two in play, do the Shamblers both become 3/2? I know that all other black creatures get -2/-2, but each Shambler only affects the other one.....or do I have something wrong here?

Zoelef! - Player B would not die. The Crypt Rats do their damage all at once to players and creatures. The Rebels wouldn't die until after the effect has resolved, when state-based effects are checked. At the time damage is dealt, there are creatures in play, so Worship will prevent the damage.

1) Sacred Ground returns a land to play whenever it is destroyed by a spell or effect an opponent controls. It does save your lands from Jokulhaups and Obliterate.

2) If you Harrow in response to Jokulhaups the Harrow will resolve first because it is on the top of the stack. Your three lands will come into play, the Jokulhaups will destroy all lands and you will have nothing.

3) You get the mana for two reasons. First, you can't respond to a mana ability at all, so you get the mana before he can use the Keg. Because of the priority rule you can probably even cast a spell with that mana before he can use the Keg. Second, destroying the source of an ability does not prevent the ability from happening. Once your guy has been tapped you have created a "pseudospell" that goes on the stack (if it weren't a mana ability) and is independent of the permanent that generated it.

4) Crystal Rod has a triggered ability. "Whenever a blue spell is played, you may pay 1...." It will only trigger once for each event, so you can still only use it once per spell.

Making all creatures 1/1's and loosing all abilities. What would happen? It doesn't make sense. It sounds like a repeating circle of the abilities and creatures. Please let me know.

(The lead rule: anyone who plays a deck containing both opalescence and humility, or volraths shapeshifter at all, must be able to clearly explain all rules involving these cards or be hit with lead piping.)
