Does this mean that he isn't able to enchant creatures coming into play with aura's because they were not legal targets as the aura came into play? or do effects like open the vaults allow the controller of the spell to pick the order stuff comes into play?

Thanks for the help.

212.4j. If an Aura is coming into play under a player’s control by any means other than by being played, and the effect putting it into play doesn’t specify the object or player the Aura will enchant, that player chooses what it will enchant as the Aura comes into play. The player must choose a legal object or player according to the Aura’s enchant ability and any other applicable effects. If no legal choice can be made, see rule 212.4k.

212.4k. If an Aura is coming into play and there is no legal object or player for it to enchant, the Aura remains in its current zone, unless that zone is the stack. In that case, the Aura is put into its owner’s graveyard instead of coming into play.

The enchantments and artifacts all come into play simultaneously so an aura can't enchant an artifact creature being brought back by open the vaults.

Do I have to pay 1 or 3 for the logic? (It was 1 when he played it but 3 when it resolve.)

You pay for how many cards he has in his yard on resolution.

the card going to the bottom of the deck instead of the graveyard is a replacement effect. however is something causes you to discard a card and it is replaced by going elseware, its still concidered discarded, so your still going to take the 2 damage from megrim.

Opponent casts Telemin Performance, I have no creatures in my deck.

Did I just get milled?

Thanks for the help.

No. if he leave play he has no memory of being in play previously. and since you just played him again you have to wait till your next turn befor you can use him.

Thanks again.

the requirement when it comes into play is a triggered ability. when stoneclaker comes in its going to tell you to look for a card and get rid of it. however if there isnt anything to target the ability just doesnt happen. At this time though the cloaker is already in play.

Note though that the comes into play ability is manditory, but it doesnt say that if you cant sacrifice it. as well the ability doesnt target a card while your casting it so its not a requirement to have a card in a graveyard in order to be able to play the creature.

Barbarian Ring - Threshold - R(TAP):Sacrifice Barbarian Ring. Barbarian Ring deals 2 damage to targer creature or player.

Flickerwisp - When flickerwisp comes into play, remove another target permanent from the game. Return that card to play under its owners control at end of turn.

If my opponent activates the barbarian ring, and I respond by using Aether Vial to bring Flickerwisp into play, does the opponent still 2 damage to me? My thoughts were the flickerwisp removes the barbarian ring from the game. Then, when the barbarian activation comes off the stack, it tries to sacrifice the barbarian ring but it is no longer in play so I don't take any damage. Is this correct?

couldn't be more wrong.

Sacrificing the barbarian ring is part of the cost. The ring is in the graveyard and the ability is on the stack, THEN you can put your flickerwisp in play and choose something that's still in play.

The current wording for Barbarian Ring's second ability is:
r, tap, sacrifice barbarian ring: deal 2 damage to target creature or player (play this ability only if you have threshold).

OK, with Pardic Miner, if someone plays a land but you responce you sacrifice the Miner, does his land 'fizzle' (i.e. go to the graveyard) I know playing a land isn't a spell but if you are in response making so your opponent cant play lands in response how can they now on the stack play a land after?

---

Playing a land is a special game action that does not use the stack. You can (normally) only do it during your main phase once per turn, while the stack is empty. Since it does not use the stack, priority does not pass to you when an opponent plays a land. You would not be able to respond with Pardic Miner, Moonhold, or Solfatara (or anything else) .

If you want to prevent your opponent from playing a land, the best idea is to paly the spell or ability during your opponent's upkeep.

I imprint Delay onto a scepter. Now, with Arcane Lab out, if I "pull the rod", does it count as my spell for the turn? Also, when the Delay ends, will it count for my opponent's spell for the turn?

yes and yes

It's my opponets turn and he controls a Dark Confidant, he taps three mana and casts Victimize. Can I or Do I have response time to Swords to Plowshares his Dark Confidant?

If not what can I do besides countering the spell do I ever get priority before the spell resolves?.... basically can I target his creature inresponse to him casting victimize and also what are the rules of addition costs? Thanks for all the help guys.

---

Because saccing a creature is a cost to play Victimize, by the time he announces the spell, the creature is already gone. You can not target it.

EDIT: If you counter his spell, the creature is still gone (because it was sacced in order to pay for the spell).
