I have a Mycosynth Lattice, Karn, Silver Golem and a Planeswalker in play1) If I make the planeswalker a creature with Karn's ability, can I still use it's loyalty abilities? 2) If I make the planeswalker a creature, and I clone it with Phyrexian Metamorph or Duplicant, will the clone be a planeswalker with loyalty counters? If so, will I be able to use the planeswalker's abilities? Will the clone remain a creature at the end of the turn?

1. Yes you can still use a loyalty ability even if the planeswalker has additional types like creature or land or if the planeswalker loses the planeswalker type. Loyalty counters are not removed even if the planeswalker loses the planeswalker type.2. The clone will be a planeswalker and you can use its abilities. In the case of metamorph it will be an artifact planeswalker. Duplicant does not work though because it specifically checks if the imprinted card is a "creature card". Once your animated planeswalker leaves the battlefield it is no longer a creature. Keep in mind that the planeswalker uniqueness rule applies any time you have two planeswalkers with the same subtype. If you clone your own planeswalker you will have to sacrfice one of them.

A couple more questions just to make sure I have this right. If I animate Tezzeret the Seeker making him a 5/5 artifact creature, then clone it with the Metamorph, the Metamorph will be a 5/5 artifact creature planeswalker named Tezzeret the Seeker? Will the Metamorph continue to be a creature, or will the effect end at the end of my turn? If Tezzeret's (cloned or original) loyalty goes to 0 while it's a creature, will it go to the graveyard, or stay in play since it's a 5/5 artifact creature?

Would I get DQ for forgetting to attack with Goblin Rabblemaster Goblin token during combat phase? Goblin Rabblemaster Other Goblin creatures you control attack each turn if able.
At the beginning of combat on your turn, put a 1/1 red Goblin creature token with haste onto the battlefield. Whenever Goblin Rabblemaster attacks, it gets +1/+0 until end of turn for each other attacking Goblin. __________________ ,Get A Free Random Rare or Token Card In Every Trade!R.I.P Lucky (1997-2003).

Your metamorph will be an "artifact planeswalker - tezzeret" named "Tezzeret the Seeker". It will not be a creature since the copy ability doesn't copy any effects applied to the original tezzeret. Only planeswalkers with 0 loyaly are put in the graveyard (like creatures with lethal damage). If tezzeret is a planeswalker (including any additional types like creature or enchantment) he would die. If he is a "tribal artifact enchantment creature land - mountain squirrel" with 0 loyaly he can stay on the battlefield with 0 loyalty

It depends on the level lf the tournament and your history. If you had a history of this rule violation at the pro tour you could get DQ'd and banned. http://wiki.magicjudges.org/en/w/Annotated_IPG/Game_Rule_Violation

1. Yes, Sorin's first ability can be activated with no creatures in play. It doesn't require a target.2. There is currently no way to destroy or remove an emblem in game once it has been created. The emblem stays there until the end of that game.

you can, abilities only work while a card is on the battlefield unless otherwise stated/doesn't make sense (bridge from below, reassembling skeleton). but you wont like the outcome. animate dead resolves, bringing the creature onto the battlefield, and then it tries to attach. but now that the creature is on the battlefield, it has pro black, and animate dead is a black card, so animate dead is removed via state based effects. then animate dead triggers "When Animate Dead leaves the battlefield, that creature's controller sacrifices it." so now your animate dead is in your GY an your creature is too. you do get any sweet enters the battlefield triggers, but that's about it. __________________ "He fights you not because you have wronged him, but because you are there."<crypticfreak1> jazaray got ahold of me. he also had a hard time finding the email. <Jazaray> She...

Am I missing something here?https://www.flickr.com/photos/45329373@N03/16247472798/ So I attacked with two dragons (including Silumgar, the Drifting Death), so onto the stack went two triggers for "my opponents creatures get -1/-1 until end of turn". My opponent had 3 face down 2/2 creatures. My opponent flipped over Thousand Winds, bouncing my two dragons. However his 2 2/2 creatures were not affected by the -1/-1 triggers when they resolved.

What is the end result of casting batterskull with humility in play? Does the end result change if the caster of batterskull or the opponent controls humility?

End result: You have a 5/5 black Germ with vigilance and lifelink. If humility was played after batterskull you would have a 5/5 black Germ. Reasons: Your Germ token will be a 1/1 black creature instead of a 0/1 black creature. Humility was in play first, so its effect will have an earlier timestamp than when batterskull became equipped. Therefore batterskull's giving of abilities will "win" and the Germ will gain vigilance and lifelink. The bonus +4/+4 from batterskull always is applied after the 1/1 setting from humility. quote: 613.1f Layer 6: Ability-adding effects, ability-removing effects, and effects that say an object can’t have an ability are applied613.2. Within layers 1–6, apply effects from characteristic-defining abilities first (see rule 604.3), then all other effects in timestamp order (see rule 613.6). Note that dependency may alter the order in which effects are applied within a layer. (See rule 613.7.) 613.6c An object’s timestamp is the time it entered the zone it’s currently in, unless it’s an Aura, Equipment, or Fortification that’s attached to another object or player, or it’s a face-up plane card, phenomenon card, or scheme card. 613.6d If an Aura, Equipment, or Fortification becomes attached to an object or player, the Aura, Equipment, or Fortification receives a new timestamp at that time.

Yes, and you should. Even though you're supposed to shuffle the deck next it is still considered cheating (disqualificatiob) if it was intentional and a warning if unintentional. If they do it unintentionaly and you notice it and fail to report you have "cheated" and can be disqualified.

That's not cheating as there's no advantage to be gained. You would hardly get a warning, let alone a DQ. Most judges would just ask you to report infractions as keeping track of them helps against cheaters in the long run.

The IPG disagrees with you for non-casual events. https://www.wizards.com/ContentResources/Wizards/WP N/Main/Documents/Magic_The_Gathering_Infraction_Procedure_Guide_PDF2.pdf "Unsporting Conduct — Cheating Definition A person breaks a rule defined by the tournament documents, lies to a tournament official, or notices an offense committed in his or her (or a teammate's) match and does not call attention to it." At regular REL knowlingly allowing your opponent to break the rules is a "serious issue" https://www.wizards.com/ContentResources/Wizards/WPN/Main/Documents/Magic_The_Gathering_Judging_at_Regular_REL_PDF1.pdf

You might want to read the full definition of Cheating quote: Additionally, the offense must meet the following criteria for it to be considered Cheating: - The player must be attempting to gain advantage from his or her action. - The player must be aware that he or she is doing something illegal.If all criteria are not met, the offense is not Cheating and should be handled by a different infraction. Cheating will often appear on the surface as a Game Play Error or Tournament Error, and must be investigated by the judge to make a determination of intent and awareness.
The same is true for regular REL. Allowing your opponent to break rules in your favour is definitely a serious issue. Allowing him to potentially cheat, however, is just very stupid; there's hardly any advantage to be gained.

One side of it, Leeroy, is that when you don't report these sorts of things, there may be a sense that there's some sort of collusion going or some other level of cheating. You may be right that a judge will probably just give a warning, but at regular REL it is a big deal and a judge will stop the game to at least talk to players if they were to notice something like this on their own.__________________ "Message to women worldwide: Girls....we're stupid.

http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=394699Silkwrap will exile morphed creatures face-up and those creatures will return face-up if silkwrap leaves the battlefield. (See release notes on gatherer). If the creature is morphed before silkwrap' ability resolves then the ability will be countered by the game rules (something in section 608) because all of its targets are illegal.
