Is his metalcraft a replacement effect for all equip costs, or do I have the option to pay 0 or pay the other cost (such as Piston Sledge's Sac an artifact cost to equip)?

---

His ability doesn't say anything about removing their other equip cost, so they have both.

If a life total changed because of an effect of a spell or ability. It will be considered lifegain or life lost.

(i.e. if you're below 10 life It counts that as gaining life

if you're above 10, then it counts as losing life. )

Using Spellkite, equipped with a Livewire Lash, if I force a spell to target Spellskite, it will trigger Livewire Lash's damage effect on the stack, but can I repeatedly redirect to Spellskite to force triggers on the stack?

---

You will activate Skite to change the target, Lash will trigger. But that will be the only time, because once Skite is the target, you can't change the target to him again. He doesn't 'become' the target multiple times; you will just waste mana/life activating it.

Can someone link me to the rule how Rule of Law knows what spells have been played before it actually resolves?

"Rules of the game" is the part your looking for. It doesn't need to "know". It sets a rule that says only one spell can be played.

your thinking something like
"611.2c If a continuous effect generated by the resolution of a spell or ability modifies the characteristics or changes the controller of any objects, the set of objects it affects is determined when that continuous effect begins."

---

You still must assign lethal damage before assigning more to additonal blockers/players/walkers. lethal is equal to the creatures toughness, unless you have deathtouch and 1 damage is lethal.

i.e. I respond to respond to removal with Neurok Stealthsuit, they respond with another reomval before the Suit is there, i respond with yet another equip.
Perfectly legal right?
Can i equip an equipment to the creature it's attached to?

---

Yes, both are just fine.

---

Any time a player would deal non-combat damage to their opponent, they can choose to redirect all of that damage (in this case 3) to a planeswalker that opponent controls. So yes, slagstorm damage can be dealt to planeswalkers.

2nd question, no idea.

Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite

1- 2 legends with the same name, needing to be put into graveyards.
2- Creatures getting -4/-4. If any of them have zero or less toughness, they also need to be put into graveyards.

So yes, you will kinda sorta give them all -4/-4 before both Norns die.

Phyrexian Ingester specifies target nontoken creature. So you can't target the Germ token attached to the Batterskull.

If you had exiled a creature card instead of a token, you would only get +X/+Y based on the values on the card, not the creature as it existed on the battlefield. A Forgotten Ancient with 5 +1/+1 counters and equipped with the Batterskull would only give the Ingester +0/+3 once it was exiled.

For the height of silliness, try having your Phyrexian Ingester eat a Spinal Parasite.
