Thank you!

Yes. As long as you specify that you are retaining priority, you can activate one, then the other.

Yes.

my opponent has a Peacekeeper in play (1/1).
I cast lighting bolt on it (3 damage)
He uses Scars of the Veteran (preventing up to 7 damage)
if I cast another lighting bolt in response, does the Peacekeeper die? or does he live because he has a shield preventing up to 7 damage?

Unless they have something to remove cards from my graveyard, I don't think they can kill me with Painter/Grindstone.

When the two creatures die, each one will trigger the untap ability of the Goblin Sharpshooter. After SBA's are taken care of, both triggers will be placed on the stack.
At that point you respond to the two triggers by activating the GS for one damage.
Let the first trigger resolve and untap the GS.
Respond to the remaining trigger by activating the GS again for the second point of damage.
Let the second trigger resolve and untap the GS.
Activate the GS and deal the third point of damage.
You now have a dead X/3.
And of course, when it dies, GS will trigger and untap.

WRONG

Karrthus trigger on CIT and effect goes onto the stack. You pass priority to your opponent and can sword your Karrthus but effect is still onto the stack and revole after the sword.

---

Yes, as long as you have mana and the Hateflayer is no longer affected by summoning sickness then you can combo off.

Not "faster", but mana abilities do not use the stack; they cannot be responded to. HOWEVER, you seem to be confused about what a mana ability is. An activated ability that requires mana to play it is not a mana ability. A mana ability is an activated ability that creates mana (such as tapping Llanowar Elves or a Forest), or a triggered ability from another mana ability (tapping a Forest enchanted with Wild Growth; Wild Growth's trigger is a mana ability).

Master Transmuter
{3}{U}
Artifact Creature -- Human Artificer
1/2
{U}, {T}, Return an artifact you control to its owner's hand: You may put an artifact card from your hand into play.

* Returning an artifact you control to its owner's hand is part of the cost of Master Transmuter's activated ability. Paying a cost can't be responded to (with Naturalize, for example).

* Since Master Transmuter is an artifact, you may return Master Transmuter itself to your hand. If you do, the rest of the ability will still work normally.

Wouldn't removing a creature card from a graveyard from the game be part of the lobotomist's activated ability and therefore not be able to be responded to? The lobotomist would then become a copy of that creature( in this case a big one) and a lightning bolt not be able to do anything about it?

(1UB)Exile target creature card from a graveyard. Dimir Doppelganger becomes a copy of that card and gains this ability.

---

Pay close attention to the placement of the :, as it makes a world of difference. Anything before it, in this case, "1UB" is a cost. Anything after is the effect.

Even if the exiling of the card was part of the cost, though, the ability of the Doppelganger becoming a copy of it would still go on the stack and be able to be responded to, and a Bolt in response would kill the Doppelganger before it resolved and became a 6/6.

Report rules violations.

I say no. They said yes.

I said, "well you can use Cremate on Multani in the graveyard because it's not in play so shroud doesn't count."

They respond with something like, "yeah you can target it if it's in the graveyard but, if he's in your hand/deck/grave his */* is always the total number of cards."

Am I right and just beating a dead horse?

They're correct. Sadly, I don't have a set of Comp Rules in front of me to find it in there

Here's the relevant portion of the CR:

quote:

604.3. Some static abilities are characteristic-defining abilities. A characteristic-defining ability conveys information about an object’s characteristics that would normally be found elsewhere on that object (such as in its mana cost, type line, or power/toughness box). Characteristic-defining abilities function in all zones. They also function outside the game.

604.3a A static ability is a characteristic-defining ability if it meets the following criteria: (1) It defines an object’s colors, subtypes, power, or toughness; (2) it is printed on the card it affects, it was granted to the token it affects by the effect that created the token, or it was acquired by the object it affects as the result of a copy effect or text-changing effect; (3) it does not directly affect the characteristics of any other objects; (4) it is not an ability that an object grants to itself; and (5) it does not set the values of such characteristics only if certain conditions are met.

Yes, absolutely.
