1) I have out Rhystic Study. My opponent plays Wipe Away, does he have to pay for the rhystic (if he doesn't want me to draw a card) or does split second make it so that ability doesn't go off?

2) Ok, this is probably a REALLY stupid question. Can you equip equipment to your opponents creatures? (If you can, I REALLY REALLY REALLY HATE skullclamp.)

3) Does a spell have to be SUCCESSFULLY cast for me to be able to draw off of Rhystic Study?

Thanks,
Jazaray

2) Reason we link cards, Skull Clamp
Equip 1 (1: Attach to target creature you control. Equip only as a sorcery. This card enters the battlefield unattached and stays on the battlefield if the creature leaves.)

3) Rhystic Study
Whenever an opponent casts a spell, you may draw a card unless that player pays 1.
Nothing in there says successfully cast. Beyond that, no card uses that phrasing any more and I don't believe any got a template for it, the "successfully" part was just removed. They all now refer to casting a spell.
ex:
Argothian Enchantress
Printed wording: Whenever you successfully cast an enchantment spell, draw a card.
Oracle Wording: Whenever you cast an enchantment spell, draw a card.

-Lunch_Box-
710.2a "{LEVEL N1-N2} [Abilities] [P/T]" means "As long as this creature has at least N1 level counters on it, but no more than N2 level counters on it, it's [P/T] and has [abilities]."

So assuming we're talking about Brimstone Mage as an example. Using longhand instead of the shortened versions printed on the card we get:

As long as Brimstone Mage has at least 1 level counters on it, but no more than 2 level counters on it, it's 2/3 and has "Tap: Brimstone Mage deals 1 damage to target creature or player."

As long as Necrotic Ooze is on the battlefield, it has all activated abilities of all creature cards in all graveyards.

So how does this work with Level Up creatures? Does the Ooze gain level up and have to make it to level x or does it have access to any activated ability regardless of the level?

I have multiple creatures with summoning sickness in play; can I equip lighting greaves on each of them for them to gain haste to attack during combat phase?

Unless you've been hit by a Stigma Lasher, then yes.

You have to pay all your life at the same time, because you won't be set to 20 until you've already paid all the costs for bond of agony.

Technical nitty gritty:

Pay for bond of agony, pay all mana and life at this point. Put it on the stack.

State based effects are checked, you "lose" which triggers the mirror.

You do the stuff for lich's mirror

I don't think Stigma Lasher can stop you from going back to 20 with Lich's Mirror.

117.5. If an effect sets a player’s life total to a specific number, the player gains or loses the necessary amount of life to end up with the new total

Hence I wasn't sure.

Example play: There are 14 cards in my opponents graveyard and I play Tome scour. The 4th card is Emrakul, his ability triggers. Can I respond my using Keening Stone to put the top 18 cards of his library into the GY, then playing Ravenous Trap to exile them all?

Elaborate, but just curious.

When cards are milled off a library, say from Tome Scour, are the cards put in one at a time? Or all at once? Now, lets say the 4th card is emrakul, do I have a chance to respond and activate abilities before he is shuffled into the library?

In this case, Emrakul has a triggered ability. It triggers, but it cannot resolve until Tome Scour is finished first. So they start w/ 14, end with 19, and Emrakul's ability is now put on the stack. Each player gets priority before a spell or ability resolves, so you can activate keening stone, milling 19. Once that resolves, emrakuls ability is still waiting, and each player gets priority again. You cast Trap for free here, and everything is Exiled. His ability is still waiting to resolve, but it won't really do much now.
