yes it would. you play entomb, search your library for the blessing. entomb has resolved, going into the graveyard below the blessing. blessing then goes in, ability triggers, and all is shuffled.

Your right. Blessing's abiity isn't treated as an instantaneous ability, it's a triggered affect. It also doesn't matter which order the cards hit the graveyard, after Entomb resolves then you gain priority to shuffle your graveyard with Blessing's ability. Here is the exact text:

If Gaea's Blessing is moved into the graveyard by an effect, it is dealt with as a triggered ability. This means you wait for the next appropriate time before shuffling your graveyard into your library. For Millstone, it means you put both cards in at once, so it does not matter whether the Gaea's Blessing was the first or second card.

They would both be able to stay in play for that one turn. At end of turn, all damage is removed from creatures and all end of turn effects end. So that means, when the end of turn comes around, the Selection's effect will wear off, and the Crosis that you changed from a Legend into something else dies.

fyi

K.17.2 - Only one legendary permanent of a given name can be in play at a time. If a legendary permanent enters play (or a permanent becomes legendary) when another legendary permanent of that name is already in play, the one that just entered play or that just became legendary is put into its owner's graveyard. If more than one of the same name enters play or become legendary at the same time, then all of them are put into their owner's graveyards. This is done as a state-based effect (see Rule T.11).

You can only name one word with Conspiracy. But yes, if you name Wall and then Donate it, your opponent's creatures can't attack due to the fact that in Magic, Walls cannot attack.
Also, even if you did have a way of choosing Legendary Wall, your opponent will still be allowed to have two different creatures out. The Legend rule only kills creatures that have the same name, not the same creature type. Just fyi.

Comp Rules say "502.22a Flashback is a static ability of some instant and sorcery cards that functions while the card is in a player's graveyard. The phrase "Flashback [cost]" means "You may play this card from your graveyard by paying [cost] rather than paying its mana cost. If you do, remove this card from the game instead of putting it anywhere else any time it would leave the stack." Playing a spell using its flashback ability follows the rules for paying alternative costs in rules 409.1b and 409.1f."

The phrase "...play this card..." and the links to alternate casting costs for spells, make it look like Flashed-back spells would indeed count towards Arcane Lab or other such limitations.

While this is bad for Adgenda, Lab and such, it might be fun and interesting with Recycle.

the second cards is a creature and he says I have to give him the creature-

I say I have to give tha creature only if the last card is a creature. He says no. Whenever a creautre appears- I say only if that last cards turned over is a creatuyre does he get it.

Your thoughts....

x,tap:Put the top card of target opponent's library into his/her graveyard.cContinue doing this until you have put X cards or a creature card into that graveyar,whichever occurs first.If the last card put into the graveyard is a creature card,bury Helm of Obedience and put that creature into play under your control as thought it were just cast.X cannot be 0

explaination:
that means, you put the X cards from the library into the graveyard until X or a creature card is reveal, then you stop. but if the last card reveal is a creature card,then helm is bury and the creature comes under control.

read the text several time if you still don't understand.

Say my oponent has an arena, assassin and another creature in play and he goes to arena one of my creatures. Can he arena then before my creature does damage to his can he destroy it with the Assassin?

Remember his assassin is not being arena'd his other creature is.

Thanks,

Player A can correct?

yep, not only can you counter it (make sure to put the card drawing on the stack, AND let it resolve) but you can counter it with what you draw. :]

i dont know the exact wording on arena, but isnt it both creatures deal damage to each other? if this is the case its simultanious and no, you cant assassin it.
