If my opponent plays snakeform on my drudge skeletons, can I regenerate in response to have a regeneration shield on the snake?

If I have a hive mind in play, then play an instant which my opponent copies, whose instant resolves first?

you can only play spells you could legally play during your upkeep since at the end of your upkeep that mana is no longer in your pool.

Im wondering if silence can be used this way

1) player B is attempting to cast maelstrom pulse with 3 mana, player A suspects it)

2) when player b tapped his 3rd land, player a cast silence in response.

Can player B still cast his maelstrom pulse ?

Your opponent has priority during the beginning of his main phase, and has to make an action before you can respond. In the situation you're describing, no, he could not do that because sorceries can only be played when the stack is empty.

Protip: it's almost always better to cast silence during someone's upkeep.

- he declares his attack phase, meaning that hes passing priority to you to do something befor he starts his attack.

- he plays another spell first, instead of pulse, so you can respond to that with silence, preventing him from now playing pulse next.

*NOTE*
since silence is an instant, just cast it durring his upkeep or draw phase, since a player cannot cast sorceries than.

What happens when you play a spell but target something illegally? (Say it has shroud.) Does it get destroyed or put back into your hand or is it at the opponents/judges discretion?

What happens if you Terror a blue creature, but it get's Alter Reality'd to become non-blue? Does the Terror get fizzled/countered?

---

1) yes
2) If you attempt to terror a black creature or play it on a creature that has shroud. This is an illegal game action.

422.1. If a player realizes that he or she can’t legally take an action after starting to do so, the entire action is reversed and any payments already made are canceled. No abilities trigger and no effects apply as a result of an undone action. If the action was playing a spell, the spell returns to the zone it came from. The player may also reverse any legal mana abilities played while making the illegal play, unless mana from them or from any triggered mana abilities they triggered was spent on another mana ability that wasn’t reversed. Players may not reverse actions that moved cards to a library or from a library to any zone other than the stack.

422.2. When reversing illegal spells and abilities, the player who had priority retains it and may take another action or pass. The player may redo the reversed action in a legal way or take any other action allowed by the rules.

now keep in mind NOTHING is at your opponents discretion when it comes to rulings. Since it just happened you would rewind the game. If you notice it a few turns later then the game continues since decisions have been made based on game state. Keep in mind a judge should still be notified in the later instance or if your opponent continually attempts to misplay spells. Once maybe twice is an accident. After that they're trying to get away with something.

3) Yes, if you alter reality terror to say non-blue then when terror goes to resolve its target is illegal and it is countered upon resolution.

413.2a. If the spell or ability specifies targets, it checks whether the targets are still legal. A target that’s moved out of the zone it was in when it was targeted is illegal. Other changes to the game state may cause a target to no longer be legal; for example, its characteristics may have changed or an effect may have changed the text of the spell. If the source of an ability has left the zone it was in, its last known information is used during this process. The spell or ability is countered if all its targets, for every instance of the word “target,” are now illegal. If the spell or ability is not countered, it will resolve normally, affecting only the targets that are still legal. If a target is illegal, the spell or ability can’t perform any actions on it or make the target perform any actions.

If so, why does it work? Does the mongrel/compulsion go on the stack?

---

You choose to use wild mongel's ability. You announce the ability, pay all costs, then place the ability on the stack. The discard of the card does not use the stack as it is a cost, not an ability, the mongrel's pump ability does use the stack.

“Madness [cost]” means “If a player would discard this card, that player discards it, but may remove it from the game instead of putting it into his or her graveyard” and “When this card is removed from the game this way, its owner may play it by paying [cost] rather than paying its mana cost. If that player doesn't, he or she puts this card into his or her graveyard.”

so following this through the result should be, announce mongrel's ability, discard circular logic removing it from the game due to madness, mongrel's pump ability gets placed on the stack, logic's madness trigger gets placed on the stack. Assuming nothing else happens when the madness trigger resolves you simply play the spell then end result being you do play the madness spell before mongrel gets pumped. It might matter... maybe.

Another one:

Can you use multiple counters on a spell? Say TWO force spikes on a card?

---

Yep. The "correct" order to do this would be play the first force spike, let them pay for it/not pay. If they pay, you can play another one at this point. Both players will receive priority every time something on the stack resolves.

Say the stack is:

Forcespike
Goblin Piledriver

Forcespike resolves first and the opponent paid the (1), then next up to resolve is the Goblin Piledriver, you can then Forcespike again? Isn't that essentially putting a spell in between two spells on the stack? I figure once you pass priority with the first Spike, the whole stack just resolves.
