If i use elvish piper to put a card from my hand into play and its a creature with morph, can i put it into play facedown?

If i play a spell and use mirari and the spell is countered does the copy still go through?

If i attack with nantuko husk and 2 other creatures, can i have them deal combat damage and then sac them to the husk to deal even more combat damage?

1) No. Morph is an ability, and playing the card face down for 3 generic mana is part of the ability.

2) Yes. The original and its copy occupy two spots on the stack. Countering one does not affect the other.

3) No. (Well, not unless the two other creatures have first strike.) Normal combat damage is assigned all at the same time. So the Husk's unpumped damage would already be on the stack, and sacrificing creatures wouldn't affect the damage it would deal.

A creature that is green cannot block a creature that has "protection from green".

Here's a link to the official rules: Magic: the Gathering Comprehensive Rulebook

Protection is covered in the glossary near the bottom, here's the relevent quote:

quote:

---

Protection is a static ability. A permanent with protection from [quality] can't be targeted by [quality]
spells, targeted by abilities from a [quality] source, or enchanted by [quality] enchantments. Such
enchantments enchanting the permanent with protection will be put into their owners' graveyards as a state-based effect. If a creature with protection attacks, it can't be blocked by [quality] creatures. In addition, all damage dealt to it from [quality] sources is prevented. See rule 502.7, "Protection."

If you block a 5/5 with a pup, you take 5.

If you block a 5/5 trampler with a pup, you take 5.

Correct?

Yes on both accounts.

2. Sac Riptide Shapeshifter, name "Bird". First bird to come up is "Sage Aven". Can you wait until after shuffling the revealed cards in your library before examining/reordering the top 4, or does the comes-into-play effect of the bird happen before you shuffle?

Thanks in advance.

1) No. The targetting conditions for Nosy Goblin specify a face-down creature. Since targetting conditions are rechecked when the ability tries to resolve, and the creature is no longer face-down, the ability is countered.

2) You must wait until you have shuffled your library before you can look at the top four cards and rearrange them. Abilities must resolve completely before other effects can be added to the stack, and shuffling the revealed cards into your library is part of the Shapeshifter's ability.

One more dumb Morph question... from the Onslaugh rules insert:

"Turning a card face up doesn't use the stack so your opponent can't respond."

Imagine this scenario:

Guy attacks me with morphed creature. I block with a 2/2 whatever. In response to my declaring a blocker (before damage goes on the stack) he unmorphs his critter revealing it to be a Blistering Firecat. I'm holding Backslide, but unless I'm mistaken, the only thing I can respond to at this point is damage going on the stack after which point it no longer makes sense to Backslide the cat and kill it with my 2/2 whatever. Is that correct?

"Can't respond" just means that there's nothing you can do that will happen before the Firecat is turned face-up. For example, you couldn't Shock a Grinning Demon "in response" to your opponent turning it over - no matter what you do it will be a 6/6 when your Shock goes off.

In the example you describe, blockers have been declared, and the attacking player has one effect: he turns over the Firecat for its cost of RR. He then has priority to do other stuff, and when he passes, you get priority to do stuff, including Backslide. If you do, he has another chance to play spells or abilities, including Morphing the Firecat again if he has sufficient mana available.

1: Neither night can block another one. So you are both free to attack, since youo can not block or be blocked by the opposing night.

2: The replicator will come in with X as 0, and be able to make 0/0's which die immidiatly

On that note!
Does a 0/0 hit the graveyard? i understand that token creatures do hit the graveyard and trigger effects of creatures entering the grave, so i assume a 0/0 would too

Yes. They hit the graveyard and immediately vanish as tokens do when in a zone other than 'In Play'.

Depends on what rules you and the rest of the players decide on.

In my local game it does.

absolutely not! one of the main rules of morph is that you may in no way attempt to decieve your opponent by stacking/shuffling/ mixxing your morphed creatures up. You are even suppose to mark the order they come into play with markers of some kind to keep it strait.

I activate the ability on:
Mistform Shrieker
Flying. 1: Mistform Shrieker's type becomes the creature type of your choice until end of turn. Morph 3UU

changing it to a wizard...then I target it with...

Ghosthelm Courier
You may choose not to untap Ghosthelm Courier during your untap step. 2U, Tap: As long as Ghosthelm Courier remains tapped, target Wizard gets +2/+2 and can't be the target of spells or abilities.

Now, does the ability from the courier go away at the end of the turn when the mistform changes back into its original type? or does the courier ability only check for type when you tap it and it's effect stays on the wizard changed back to mistform?
