Yes, Teferi's Response can counter Plow Under  The word "a" means one or more. Compare the wording with Misdirection, Deflection and Rebound: "Target spell, which targets a single..."

I played a Sparkcaster w/ no r/g creatures in the board, After the 1 damage resolved, my opponent dominated it. What happens with the gating ability? Who's stack is it on? And who's hand would it go to?__________________

i'd think the dominate would fizzle because you'd have to return the Sparkcaster back to your hand to fulfill the gating drawback.
but, i could be wrong.my question:
my opponent hoodwinks my cradle back to my hand and turf wounds me. I have a Mercadian Atlas in play, can i announce that i'm not playing a land (due to Turf Wound) and draw a card or not?

Selvaxri: Yes, you can draw a card if you didn't play a land because Turf Wound doesn't allow you to play lands so why wouldn't you be able to draw a card out of the Mercadian Atlas.Morphish Cat: Yes, you can pay both kicker costs out of a Thunderscape Battlemage.

Fireballman - A gating creature could be Dominated in response to its gating ability. The effect that goes on the stack is "return a red or green creature you control to its owner's hand." If that ability resolves and you don't control Sparkcaster then you would have to return a different red or green creature, or if you didn't control any then the effect would do nothing. Under no circumstances would you be allowed to return a creature that the opponent now controls.

I've got a question regarding Reverent Mantra. Let's say my opponent has an Armadillo Cloak on one of his creatures and a Pacifism on one of mine. If it cast Reverent Mantra (picking white), would all the white enchantments be destroyed, or would I have to play Mantra in response to them Cloaking or Pacifying a creature? Thanks

One of the effects of protection from a color is that all enchantments of that color on the creature with protection are destroyed.
So yes, Reverant Mantra (call white) would cuase Pacifism and Armadillo Cloak to be destroyed. __________________

Ok.. here's a question.. I'm pretty sure about it.. but not positive.. and I don't wanna get my head ripped off when I play it..
If I got my Autumn Willow out.. I *CAN* put a Armadillo Cloak on it.. yes?? And if I can't.. if I use her ability to let me cast spells on her till end of turn.. will the Cloak last *ONLY* till end of turn then be saced.. or is it there fer good..
Ok appreciate the help.. and also just want to say that I looked at CrystalKeep and guess I don't know enough about where to look and such.. -NAVY!! __________________

I was play against my friend from out of town who was playing a counterspell deck with thawing glaciers in it today. Anyway he had one out and at the end of my turn he activated it and put a land into play as your supposed to, however then he said the effect of having to return the glaciers to his hand didn't trigger until the beginning his upkeep, so he could untap and then search again before having to return it to his hand, thus gaining 2 lands before his land for the turn. Anyway he wasn't too sure of this ruling and neither was I so we agreed that he shouldn't do it until perfectly sure. I don't think it works but I'm not sure, so please give me some help. Thanks in advance.__________________

MagicNavy: You could only play the Cloak on your Autumn Willow if it's activated ability has already been activated allowing you to target it with spells or abilites. Once the Cloak resolves and is on the Autumn Willow, the Cloak becomes and Enchantment and is no longer a spell or ability, so it would remain on the Autumn Willow after the end of your turn.Chamber Dude: Your friend was thinking about the loophole found in Thawing Glaciers when 6th Edition rules came about. Errata has corrected the loop hole. It had to do with the Glaciers being used after "end of turn" triggered abilites occured. It did not have to do with the beginning of his next turn. Now the errata requires the Glaciers to return to his hand during the end of turn step, or when end of turn effects happen, depending on when he activated it. Either way, he can only use it once a turn and it will be in his hand by the end of that turn. __________________

Nope, not unless something else gives it haste (like Fires). I think coolio put it this way once,"All permanents have summonsing sickness the first turn, but only creatures are affected by it." So when you animate the Idol, it still recognizes that it came into play that turn. __________________

OK, I was at a local tournament yesterday and a question came up regarding COP's and Distoring Lens.For instance, I attack with 2 red creatures (my opponent has COP:Red) and I have 2 Distorting Lens in play. He taps 2 mana to prevent the damage from each of the creatures. I respond by changing the color of each of the creatures to blue. Therefore, the damage goes through, since they are no longer "red sources". Am I right? Please advise. Thanks

ok, i have 2 questions:1.ok i am playing my friend right now. i have a white deck and he has a black deck.he has out blood pet, fallen angel, and 2 bog imps. i have out nothing(creatures that is) he decides to attack me with his fallen angel and because of its special ability he wants to sacrifice some creatures, but how many can he sacrifice?
ok now with the same card layout(fallen angel, blood pet, 2 bog imps, and 5 land) he lays down a card that deals X damage to me but he can ONLY (because of what the card say) use swamps for the X. so it costs one to bring out, then he taps his other 4 swamps, that would deal 4 damage right. but the real question is can he also sacrifice the blood pet for a swamp(i know he can sacrifice, but does it count as a swamp) oh and does anyone know when and where any tournaments will be in waterloo or kithener(or somewhere within about a hour distance)
also places where the artists are coming

gtbreaker: You are right since they are no longer the same color.lil_serra_devil: He can sacrifice as many creatures as he wants to the Fallen Angel. What is the spell that the person used that can only use swamps? I think its supposed to say only use black mana but I may be wrong.

ok lets say that i have out crypt rats, 4 swamps and 1 blood pet. now i want to use crypt rats creature ability so i tap 4 swamps which means i would deal 4 damage to each creature and player. now can i also sacrifice blood pet to add a swamp and do 5 damage. (i think i would because it says swamp not colourless)
now to add onto that question, what if i had a card that added 1 colourless mana to my mana pool, and avatar of hope and 6 forests. could i still summon her? (she take 6 colourless and two plaind to summon so i was wondering if the colourless could count as a plain, i guess not though because it does specify a colour or say add 1 mana of any colour to your mana pool, right?

I really have to know this one, considering my metagame is something like 80% opposition orb decks ATM. Will the card Standard Bearer work on Opposition? If so, will it only stop Opposition from tapping your creatures or will it also stop Opposition from tapping lands and artifacts?

Lil Serra Devil:I'm not sure what you are asking. You should get in the habit of referring to mana by color (Black) as opposed to it's land type (Swamp). Black mana can come from other sources than just Swamps. When your opponent sacs the Blood Pet to pump the Fallen Angel, he cannot also sac it to make black mana. He has to chose one or the other for saccing it. No, colourless mana cannot be used as white mana. If you had something that could add mana of any color to your mana pool, you would add white, and not have a problem. Here is a link for major tournaments in the Toronto area.
http://www.futquest.com/indexa.html The PreRelease is this weekend and I will ask the Waterloo crew about tournaments in your area. I'll get back to you with that info.

The Druid's ability reveals cards from your library until it finds a basic land. Then the other revealed cards are put into your graveyard. So you would get the basic land, and then the other cards would go into the graveyard. They all go to the graveyard at once, in the order you chose. When they go to the graveyard, the Gaea's Blessing ability would trigger and go on the stack. __________________

Yes Oppositions ability would be subject to the Standard Bearers restriction. The Bearer would restrict Opposition from tapping any permanent as Oppositions ability could target a Flagbearer, regardless of what the controllers intentions were. This does not PREVENT Oppostion from working, but it restricts Opposition by forcing it to target a Flagbearer, if there is a Flagbearer in play. http://www.wizards.com/magic/expert/apocalypse/ap_mechanics_flagbearer.asp __________________
