I go back to my backwoods-country-hick-hometown last week, and they have a new game shop. So I go in and proceed to play in a game with one of the local red-neck children.

Blah blah blah

He plays obliterate or something (in his masterfully crafted no-restrictions apply here deck), I complicate. He pays 3. I complicate the obliterate again.

This is where hoosier boy gets upset.
"You can't counter the same spell twice!"
I say, sure I can, why can't I?
He says "because I've already paid the cost for the complicate. At that time you have given up your right to add anymore instants to the stack! So the stack resolves!"

(Actually, he explained it much less clearly than that)

He calls over the local magic "guru", who confirms this and starts going into lengthy discussion that under the "new rules", once you start removing spells from the stack, no new effects or spells may be added to the stack.

This goes on for a while, and I finally give up. Its me against the whole store of hoosier kids, and I can see that I'm not going to convince them that you can respond to every effect that resolves off of the stack.

Anyways, I'm 99% sure I haven't missed anything in the rulings, and these guys just don't know what they are doing.

(FYI, I found out they have their own tournaments biweekly with pretty decent prizes. I'm there.., I just won't be playing blue!)

You're right, but why were you Complicating an Obliterate?

Color= Red Type= Sorcery Cost= 6RR IN(R)
Text (IN): ~this~ can't be countered. Destroy all artifacts, creatures, and lands. They can't be regenerated.

How did you even counter it once? You would target Obliterate, and it would fizzle.

Being able to pay a cost to turn a card face up is a static ability enabled by using Morph to play it. Copies weren't played via Morph, so don't get that ability.

Next question:

Does Matriarch's ability only count when targeting? That is, if I gain control of an enchanted creature and the enchantment is later removed, do I still get to keep the creature?

---

Yes, creature that come back into play after being removed by Worldgorger Dragon have summoning sickness.

The current wording on the Matriarch is this:
{Tap}: Gain control of target creature as long as it's enchanted.

The ability will only work while the creature is enchanted, so if all enchantments on that creature are destroyed, the creature will go back to its previous controller.

Yes. Yes, you no-house hanin!

The Avatar deals damage equal to its power (15), which isn't limited by the toughness of the creature blocking it. Once damage has been dealt, the game checks to see whether the amount of damage on the creature is greater than its toughness (15>1), and then sends it to the graveyard. Then, your friend gains 15 life from the Soul Link.

This occured at my last FNM.
Player A plays a Phage
Player B Spelljacks it.
Player B did not want to play it because he wasn't sure if he would lose the game or not.

Would he lose the game?

If you're at 5 and your opponent is at 1 when you activate Shepherd of Rot (losing 6 life each), the game would be a draw. If you're at 1 and your opponent is at 5, the result is the same... a draw. B]

I'm not sure about this but doesnt the guy with 5 life win. You both lose 6 and both are reduced below 0. thus isnt the person with the lowest life total lose. -5 to -1??

[B]I have a quicksilver dragon in play and my opponent has a basking rootwalla in play. He casts chain of vapor on my dragon. i redirect it to his rootwalla using the dragon's ability. who may sacrifice a land?

The guys with the rootwalla. The target changed to rootwalla, thus the rootwalla's controller.

how does opalesence work with creature enchantments?
say I have an opalesence, a 1/1 creature in play, and a rancor in hand. I'm assuming I still have to target a creature to play the rancor.

does the 1/1 creature become a 3/1 trampler? does my rancor become a 1/1 creature? both? does the rancor get +2 and trample? if the 1/1 rancor dies, It still goes to my hand, right?

B]

---

Opalescence says ALL GLOBAL ENCHANTMENTS. rancor is not a global enchantment thus it is not affected by opalescebse. thus it acts like a regular enchant creature
