As long as the Mistform creature is a Wizard when the ability is played and resolved, it will have that bonus as long as the Courier remains tapped.

Does an artifact creature that also has a creature type, count both ways for Coat of Arms?
Example Copper-leaf Angel is an Artifact Creature - Angel does it give angels and artifact creatures +1/+1?
-If so, would it give Artifact Creature - Golems +1/+1 also?
-If not, would it give plain Artifact Creatures +1/+1?

As TunaBoo said, Artifact Creature is not a creature type. From the Comp Rules:

"212.2a Creature subtypes are always a single word and are listed after "Creature," separated by a long dash: "Creature — Minotaur," "Artifact Creature — Golem Legend," etc. Creature subtypes are one word each and are also called "creature types." Creature cards may have multiple creature types."

For the older cards, just check the errata.

You can tap before or after announcing the spell. Usually i would announce the spell first, while you can not respond to tapping for mana you can respond to damage from a painland or something like that. So as unlikely as it may be, you could tap out to play a sorcery, take a pain, and then get orim's chanted ni response to the pain.

Wouldnt that suck.

Actually, that can only happen if the land involved is a City of Brass. The Pain Lands' abilities are mana abilities, which don't use the stack. City of Brass, however, has a triggerd ability that must resolve before you can cast a sorcery.

xingchen -

Yes, you can announce a spell and then pay costs involved with it. The purpose for doing this deals with tournament play. If the Rules Enforcement Level is high enough, you won't be permitted any sort of take-back if you announce a spell incorrectly. For example, suppose you forgot that Upheaval was a sorcery, and tried to play it during your opponent's turn. You tap your lands for mana and then announce Upheaval. Then somebody points out your mistake, and the game rewinds to just before your illegal action; at which point you still have 6 mana in your mana pool. If you can't use it, you are forced to take mana burn. However, if you announced Upheaval and then tapped lands to pay for it, when the game rewinds itself, it goes back to a point before you tapped your lands. Hence, no floating mana, no mana burn.

No. Krosan Restorer is not an Elf.

If you could find some way of turning the Restorer into an elf, that combo would work, giving you as much mana as you like. Or you could use a Seeker of Skybreak in addition to the Lodge and Restorer.

Card Name: Wrath of God
Mana Cost: 2WW
Type & Class: Sorcery
Card Text: Destroy all creatures. They can't be regenerated.

Is it possible to Divert the Wrath of God on, say, a Basking Rootwalla ?

No. Wrath of God does not have a target, so it cannot be Diverted.

Ok. This may sound strange, but how can Wrath of God destroy all creatures if it doesn't target any creature ? Where in the rulebook can I find some info on this mechanism ?

---

A spell or ability only has a target if it says "target" on the card (or errata), or the spell is a local enchantment (i.e. an enchant creature spell, or enchant land, etc). Wrath of God simply sets up an effect that destroys all creatures, whereas Terror picks one specific(target) creature and destroys it. If it helps, think of it like a chess game; Terror picks up a piece and takes it off the board, while Wrath of God sweeps all the pieces onto the floor.

Look at rules 401.2 and 214.8c in the Comprehensive Rules for the specifics.

No. The headstone symbol only means that the card is important somehow while it is in the graveyard. Quiet Speculation can only fetch cards that actually have the Flashback ability written in their text boxes.

No, they do not have creature types. Animated permanents don't have a creature type unless the effect that animated them specifies one.
