If you are going to answer a question, please be 100% sure that your answer is correct. If you are just guessing or *think* you know the answer, keep it to yourself. There are plenty of judges and people who will know it correctly, and if multiple answers are given, it just confuses the person who asked.

This thread is a flame-free zone. If you can't be civil, don't respond. New players shouldn't be worried about being made fun of when they're trying to learn.

Some information for ya...

My question is with a Heartless Summoning in play can a Myr Superion be played for free since Heartless Summoning lowers all creature spell costs by 2 or does there still need to be mana produced by creatures to play a Myr Superion even if Myr Superion now costs 0 to play?

---

Since Myr Superion will cost zero mana with heartless summoning in play, he can be cast for zero mana; you don't need mana producing creatures to produce zero mana.

I just wanna make sure;

Incinerate is on the stack without having a target yet so the Ranger's Guile is the last spell on the stack and resolves first so the Incinerate fizzle right?

or (the one I hope is wrong)

Incinerate goes on the stack with a target so even if Ranger's Guile resolves first, the Incinerate was already targetting the creature and gets through?

Player 1 passes priority, Player 2 says "In response, I cast Ranger's Guile on creature X" the game checks if creature X is a legal target, it is, so the spell goes on the stack.

Player 1 passes priority, Player 2 passes priority, Ranger's Guile checks if Creature X is still legal, it is, it resolves.

Can I pay multiple, say 2 and 2 mountains, then tap to deal 2 damage?

It seems to me like the way the card is written, and because you pay the 2, then tap.. you could first pump up more than 1 time, then tap..

any one know for sure?

No, the tapping is part of the cost. So to use the ability, you have to pay 1R *and* tap the card (all together), making it impossible to use it a second time before somehow untapping the Ferromancer.

Can you Time Stop in response to mana being tapped by the opponent, therefore forcing them to end the turn and get mana burn?

---

No, for multiple reasons.
1) Mana abilities do not use the stack and cannot be responded to.
2) Mana burn doesnt exist anymore.
