I was looking up the ruling on brainstorm, and its sets were Ice age, Merc. Masq. and BD. What's BD, and is it type two?

But why did they fix this and not grim monolith? It makes NO sense. Right now it taps and untaps for no gain, it takes a power artifact to go ininite.

That is why he included:
quote:
Initiates of the Ebon Hand
1/1. ; {1}: Add {B} to your mana pool. If this ability is played four or more times this turn, sacrifice ~this~ at end of turn.
After washing the mana, you can use it to untap the Basalt Monolith. __________________

I have a queston regarding the Onslaught card Birchlore Rangers. If I play it first turn and then on my second turn play 2 llanowar elves can I immediatly tap the llanowar elves for an additional mana from Birchlore Ranger's ability? Does summoning sickness affect another creature's Ability?

That play would be legal. Since the cost of Birchlore Rangers ability doesn't include the tap symbol, it can tap itself and other creatures even if they came into play this turn. __________________

Didn't see that, Fyrestar  Monolith was originally changed to correct the interaction with Relic Bind (which itself received errata). There's really no point to it anymore, I think it just seems like a lot of work to change it back (and Power Artifact would then perhaps be playable).

How does Meddling Mage effect cards with morph? For example, if I play a mage and call Exalted Angel, can he still play one as a 2/2? If so, can he just never morph it?__________________

He can do both. Since the card being played is face-down, it has no name. Once it is in play, paying the morph cost is just an ability that flips over the card; it is already in play, so it can't be stopped by Meddling Mage.

No. A creature without haste cannot attack or use abilities with the tap symbol until it has been under your control since the beginning of your turn. The same thing applies to your opponent. Since he didn't control the stolen creature since the beginning of his turn, he's can't attack with it.

yes you could still morph the card named by meddling mage. in your example if exalted angle was named your opponent could play it morphed, and then pay its morph cost to turn it face up.

no a creature without haste has summoning sickness unless it begins the turn under your control.so if you take control of a creature that has been in play for lets say 5 turns. even though it didnt have summoning sickness with your opponent anymore, it would still have sickness with you, as it didnt start the turn under your control. __________________

If I have a triskelion in play, can I put a 1/1 counter on it using another card such as extruder and then remove it to have it deal one damage to another creature or player?
Thanks in advance.

No. A single activation of Words of War will replace your next draw with the 2 points of damage. A second activation will wait around until it gets another draw to replace, or until the end of turn. __________________

yes but the ping would stilltake effect
removing a creature doesnt remove the ability if the ability has already been activated. the masticore would die, but the 3rd ping would still take effect. __________________

If Planar Void is in play and I play Energy Field does this make it so I can play spells freely without having to worry about being dmaged or energy field leaving play because cards never hit the graveyard

No, because the card still hits the graveyard with a Planar Void in play.__________________
