here's the Situation..

My opponent Cast Tamiyo, the Moon Sage during his turn.before Tamiyo,the Moon Sage enters the battle field.i cast my Aurelia's Fury PAYING 5 mana 1 to his 1/1 token spirit and 2 direct damages to him before it enters the battle field..

[b]THE QUESTION ARE THESE..

1)is Tamiyo,the Moon Sage put it on the graveyard or in his hands back?

2)Can he cast Tamiyo,the Moon Sage even if he hits 2 direct damaged by Aurelia's Fury?

Tamiyo is put into play. The spell has already been cast, so Aurellia's Fury doesn't affect it.

After the damage has been dealt he wouldn't be able to cast a second Tamiyo because it is a "Planeswalker" spell.

Looking into the modern vigor deck and got 1 question from ready a few topics on it. Question is how do I give more then 1 titan haste with slayer's stronghold? Multiple topics have given the impression I could do it. Am I able to tap it coming into play giving 1 titan haste then have vigor untap it so I can do again? Or do I need 2 vigors in play and at least a land drop left to tap twice the bouncland coming in at same time tap then bounce stronghold lay again and tap again?

Edit: basically asking does amulet trigger for everything entering play thus allowing me to tap stronghold with trigger on stack to untap for use again?

---

Not quite true. IF the slayers stronghold comes into play via Primeval Titan (which is generally how it goes), you DO get to untap it, once for each amulet of vigor.

2 Amulets in play
Cast titan
get stronghold and boros garrison, both etb tapped, both amulets trigger for each land, bounceland trigger.

resolve 1 amulet trigger for each land, then use garrison to activate stronghold. let that resolve, then let the 2nd set of amulet triggers resolve, untapping them both again. activate again. then finally let the bounceland trigger resolve, returning it to your hand.

You now have 2 hasted creatures, plus boros garrison in hand.

I have blasting station and kitchen finks. If I sack kitchen finks to the blasting station, does its persist ability trigger when it hits the graveyard? And if so, does it re-enter the battlefield with a -1 counter on it? And if so, can I respond to that trigger by sacking it to the station?

In short...is this an infinite combo?

no. it doesnt have persist. humility took that away.

and even if it did, it would etb as a 1/1 with a -1/-1 counter, and immediately be put into your graveyard. you cant respond to persist 'putting the -1/-1 counter on'. it just etb's with a counter, and then state based action see a 1/1 with a -1/-1 counter, and it gets put into your graveyard.

The part where Master hits after Kaalia drops him, does the ability check and trigger even though Kaalia cheated him in? Does it instantly kill someone do to his ability and Kaalia connecting for damage?

Here's the thread:

makes me believe 'no'. but i could be wrong.

"508.1c The active player checks each creature he or she controls to see whether it's affected by any restrictions (effects that say a creature can't attack, or that it can't attack unless some condition is met). If any restrictions are being disobeyed, the declaration of attackers is illegal.
Example: A player controls two creatures, each with a restriction that states "[This creature] can't attack alone." It's legal to declare both as attackers.
...
509.4g An ability that reads "Whenever [this creature] attacks and isn't blocked, . . ." triggers if no creatures are declared as blockers for that creature. It won't trigger if the attacking creature is blocked and then all its blockers are removed from combat.

509.5. Fifth, the active player gets priority. Players may cast spells and activate abilities.
...
510. Combat Damage Step
"

The "can only attack alone" part only applies to attackers being declared (508.1c), so this is a valid creature to put in with Kaalia.

As I understand it one is only able to pay a 'kicker' cost when casting a spell, not when using an ability to cheat it into play with, say, Kaalia.
