Don't do that Both copies work to your opponent's advantage. Here is the most recent wording for that card:

Text(7th): Untap all creatures that attacked this turn. After this phase, there is an additional combat phase followed by an additional main phase.

Yes, you do.

Say my opponent attacks with a 3/3 morphling and I block with a morphling that has been pumped to 2/4. He pupms his morphling to a 4/2 and then as damage is on the stack, he de-pumps it to a 2/4 so it survives. Can he do that?

Yes, he can do that. Morphling's kinda neat that way. This is one of the biggest changes introduced in 6th edition - combat damage goes on the stack as though it were a spell, and may be responded to as such. The damage dealt depends on a creature's power when damage is assigned, while creature death depends on the toughness when damage resolves. So yes, Morphling can eat any non-first striking creature with tougness five or less and live to tell about it.

If he puts the 4/2 Morphlings combat damage on the stack, then switches it b4 combat damage is dealt, yes.

One of the 100000 reasons why Morphling is the best crit in mTG.

What would be the ruling if I played an all-black filler card in a deck? The card has an actual Magic card back, but the front is all-black. I know the ruling regarding the Textless Lightning Bolt but I was curious about this one.

BTW, coolio, I haven't heard from your friend yet....

Yes, I did wonder what one would put on a decklist. Maybe there is a loophole such that I can claim it is a Black Lotus. Anyway, just curious if there were a ruling out there. My perception is that it cannot be identified and cannot therefore be played.

Question #2: Suppose that I make up a deck with many miscut cards (half and half miscuts, quad cards, etc). Can I then write down either card on my decklist? What if I have two similar miscuts--half Bolt and half Stone Rain on each. Can I then decide which one is which as I play them or must I preidentify them? I'm considering putting together a bunch of horribly miscut cards to make a deck that would be registered and played at a high level tournament to get a little publicity. Kind of like the Dan Bock all land deck, but with a different twist. Who knows, it might even get the MOTL name in the title....

What happens when Mirari "forks" a spell with the buyback cost paid? I know that Fork itself returns to your hand due to the buyback, but how is it possible with Mirari?

Edit: Put flashback, meant buyback

I have one

In a group game, I cast desolation giant(kicked), A player sacs his minotaur illusionist in response.

He claims that when the giant comes into play, the destroy all creatures goes on the stack, so he deals 3 damage to the giant cause its already in play, but the abilitie hasnt gone off yet.

I say that the giant resolves all at once, when the giant comes in everything dies.You cannot respond to the abilities, just the giant.

I dont believe so. as sacing is part of the cost. and whenthere is nothing to sac, you cant play the spell

Okay, I don't know if there is a ruling for that excat card, but I am going to say no.
Why? It has no chrateristics, no casting cost? No name? No Picture? so by that it is not identifiable as a legal card.

This one I am sure on. Yes you can play a misscut deck at a Tournamant, BUT when you register the deck you have to write down the card name that appears on that card(there should be only 1 card name on it), because that is the first chrateristic that identifing a card goes on. So you don't get to play with a whole heap of Split cards sorry Inca.

No, your friend is correct. An ability worded "when," "whenever," or "if" is a triggered ability that goes on the stack when its condition is met (in this case, when the Giant comes into play). He does get to sacrifice the Minotaur in response to the ability.

However, it doesn't do him any good. Once the ability goes on the stack it will resolve unless countered. Removing your Giant does not prevent the rest of his creatures from being destroyed.

If Phantom Whelp takes lethal damage during combat, does it go to the graveyard or to my hand at the end of the combat phase?

Also, where can I find the Odyssey FAQ?

Phantom Whelp (common)
1U
Creature - Hound
When Phantom Whelp attacks or blocks, return it to its owner’s hand at end of combat.
2/2

Thanks

Sorry, it is dead and it stay's in the graveyard.
The creature dies (apon state based effects getting checked) it goes to the graveyard.
The ablity to return it to your hand checks and see's if it still in play (which it is not) and does not return it to your hand.

For the FAQ, http://www.wizards.com/dci/judge/main.asp?x=judge/Prerelease_FAQs but the Odyssey one is not posted there yet, if you want it e-mail me and i will send it to you.

Nope you do not have to pay it's cost.

I was looking for the exact rulling on this but I could not find it, but basicly Buyback returns the card (note card) to the casters hand.
The buyback replacment attempts to return the card (which never exsisted) to owners hand, the ablitiy checks for a card to replace and finds that the there is no card to replace, so the replacement effect does not resolve.

End effect, the buyback card is back in the casters hand, Mirari is in play and both the spell and ablitiy have resolved.

Cheers

I have a couple of questions.

1 - When you sacrifice a creature, as part of playing a spell can you regenerate it?

2 - When a enchanted creature is dealt lethal damage, will it lose the enchantment to the graveyard before you regenerate it or will the enchantment stay on the creature after the creature is regenerated?

LMK, thanks for the help.

1)
Can you target your own counterspell?

2)
If a player misdirects your absorb to counter itself, will you get 3 life?

Help me out plz.
