If you have four creature cards in your graveyard and two Oversold Cemeterys in play, you would still only get one creature back, generally. Both Cemeterys would trigger and go on the stack. The first one would resolve, find four creature cards in the graveyard, and bring one to your hand. Then the second one would resolve, find only three creature cards in the graveyard, and do nothing.

However, if you bring back something like krosan tusker, just let the first trigger resolve, get the tusker, then before 2nd trigger resolves cycle it to get a land, draw a card, then when 2nd trigger resolves, you have 4 guys in the boneyard, and you can pull him back.

I then play Tempting Wurm. My opponent says he can play everything in his hand for free, I say he can't play anything due to chant.

Who is right?

You would draw three cards. One for each Skullcap, and your normal draw.

1) Can I play a creature? If I do, can I control it?

2)Lets say my opponent casts Masticore and taps his only 4 lands to cast it. I play Word of Command. Do his lands remained tapped or do they untap?

3)Also, if my opponent attempts to play a 5 cc creature spell, can I play word and then make him use some of his mana so he then can't play the spell?

4)If my opponent plays Lightning Bolt, can I Word him and then change his target to himself?

5)Can I choose to play nothing from my opponent's hand, but leave his lands tapped (if number 2 is YES)?

6) And finally, if I play Word against a blue control deck that I know has a counter or some other instant that they could play, leap across the table and look at their hand, can they counter it (the text says that it can't be countered once I see their hand)?

Thanks!

Word Of Command is a card that allows me to play a card out of my opponents hand. Several questions have been brought up by opponents when I play it, and these are some that I keep wondering about and need to show as proof at my local tourney:

1) Can I play a creature? If I do, can I control it?

Yes, but it will be under his control.

2)Lets say my opponent casts Masticore and taps his only 4 lands to cast it. I play Word of Command. Do his lands remained tapped or do they untap?

No, the lands remain tapped.

3)Also, if my opponent attempts to play a 5 cc creature spell, can I play word and then make him use some of his mana so he then can't play the spell?

No, the mana has allready been used at the time he puts it on the stack. When you declare a spell you also pay all its costs.

4)If my opponent plays Lightning Bolt, can I Word him and then change his target to himself?

No, the spell is allready on the stack, not in his hand

5)Can I choose to play nothing from my opponent's hand, but leave his lands tapped (if number 2 is YES)?

Its is no.

6) And finally, if I play Word against a blue control deck that I know has a counter or some other instant that they could play, leap across the table and look at their hand, can they counter it (the text says that it can't be countered once I see their hand)?

laf, nice try.

Thanks!

I almost died laughing. Leap across the table. Lol. You may indeed do this, but they can still counter it, and you'll most likely get a game/match loss. Leat across the table. Lol.

A quick look at the errata (Oracle text) should answer all your questions.

quote:

---

Look at target player's hand and choose a card from it. That player plays that card with his or her own mana, but you make any decisions it calls for. The player is required to use only mana in his or her mana pool and mana that can be drawn from lands.

---

If you force him to play a creature spell, he will control it because he played it.

Word of Command does not untap lands.

You do not gain priority to respond to a spell until the costs have been paid for it. If he tries to play a sorcery or a permanent, you may not respond by trying to do anything to his mana (see related rulings for Mana Short).

Likewise, a spell already announced, like your Lightning Bolt, is no longer in his hand when Word of Command is played and may not be chosen.

You must choose a card if there is a card in the player's hand. If you don't want the player to play that card, you may choose a card which may not be legally played, but you must choose a card.

down to where the writer explains about Crown of Awe
(enchanted creature has protection from black and red. Sac Crown of Awe: Enchanted creature and each other creature that shares a creature type with it gain protection from black and red until end of turn)

The writer explains that if someone plays Slice and Dice (deals 4 damage to each creature) that you can sack the Crown and all your creatures would be saved.

But isn't it so that the Slice and Dice doesn't target a creature, and that you can only prevent targetted damage? IMO the writer made a mistake, but now I'm not sure anymore..

remember DEBT (Damage-Enchantment-Blocking-Targeting)

The writer was correct, as the Slice and Dice does damage and protection from red prevents that damage.

Even though you are mean to me...

1) Its like mana flare. Land's make 1 normal mana, then 1 extra of anything it can produce when tapped.

Example:
Tap a forest, add GG
Tap a brushland, add
a) 1 and G with no pain
b) 1 and W with no pain
c) WG with 1 pain

(notice the free mana from mirari's wake doesn't cause pain).

Tap a sungrass prarie
Pay 1
make
a)GGW
b)WWG

The end result is all lands in t2 make 2 mana.

The other half of wake is just your creatures get +1/+1, like crusade

All creatures you control get +1/+1, so that part's just Glorious Anthem.

If you tap a land for mana, you get another mana of any color that that land can produce, so it's sort of like a Mana Flare that only works for you.

For example, if you tap a City of Brass, you must add another mana of any color to your pool. If you tap a Brushland for colorless, you must add either G, W, or a colorless mana to your pool.
