I know it's sad that I can't remember to do it but if I am allowed to give myself a reminder, why wouldn't I?

Yep. It's common to see players put dice on top of their deck to remind them of a cost that must be paid or other stuff.

The delayed triggered ability created by Unearth has no interaction with Torpor Orb, because it triggers "At the beginning of the next end step".[/QUOTE]

Right, now that makes sense.

I cast Duplicant on his, imprinting Ruhan.

Next turn, he casts Ruhan from exile paying to more to cast it. I say he cannot, as I still control the Duplicant, with it being imprinted. He says he can as it is exiled to the command zone.

How does this work?

As Duplicant's triggered ability resolves, exiling your opponent's commander, he can choose to put his commander in the command zone instead. If he does, it will never be imprinted on Duplicant, and he can cast it from the command zone as normal.

Note that if he does not choose to put his commander in his command zone instead, then it will be in the exile zone, it will be imprinted on Duplicant, and he cannot cast it from the exile zone.

That's exactly how I expect it should work based on the rules, BUT ...

http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/feature/284b&page=3
"We updated this rule to state that if you cast a commander owned by someone else from the command zone (as can happen with Daxos of Meletis), the "commander tax" applies."

Note that Daxos exiles cards, he doesn't put them in the command zone.

Nothing you said disagrees with this but there may also be a strange interaction where Duplicant exiles the commander, which goes to the command zone, and Duplicant gets to act as though the commander is still imprinted even though it is in the command zone.

---

In order for a card to be imprinted, it must be in the exile zone:

607.2a If an object has an activated or triggered ability printed on it that instructs a player to exile one or more cards and an ability printed on it that refers either to “the exiled cards” or to cards “exiled with [this object],” these abilities are linked. The second ability refers only to cards in the exile zone that were put there as a result of an instruction to exile them in the first ability.

On the other hand, I believe Daxos's ability works on the opponent's commander in the command zone because the commander was moved there by Daxos's ability (as modified by the commander replacement effect), and the command zone is a public zone. I can't seem to find the rule that I thought covered that interaction, though! (There's one for zone change triggers, but that's a different situation.)

---

Correct. Daxos of Meletis works because there are two "things" happening. First, he exiles, which can be replaced by the owner to send it to the Command Zone. Then, he says you may cast it, and does not specify "from exile". That last bit is the part that makes it work.

If a God is both a creature and an enchantment outside of the battlefield zone then can I cast a Return from the Underworld returning a God to play from the graveyard even though I do not have 5 or 7 devotion? If it works this would result in being a creature in the graveyard to becoming just an enchantment when it's in play.

A creature is only a creature on the battlefield. In other zones, it is a "creature card," or, if on the stack, a "creature spell."

You can only return it to your hand (step g) if you first declare it as an attacker (step a).

508.1a The active player chooses which creatures that he or she controls, if any, will attack. The chosen creatures must be untapped, and each one must either have haste or have been controlled by the active player continuously since the turn began.

Thank you for any clarity you might be able to provide.

"This cost is paid as attackers are declared." Reminder text ftw. you declare him as an attacker and return the enchantment. no freebies.

And second, when I put a creature into play that has "activated abilities" such as "tap: you gain 1 life". If the creature has summoning sickness, can you still activate it's ability?

And second, when I put a creature into play that has "activated abilities" such as "tap: you gain 1 life". If the creature has summoning sickness, can you still activate it's ability?

With bestows having special rules with this sort of thing. My question is if the 1/1 zombie is bestowed with a Nighthowler... And a "destroy target creature" spell is used on the 1/1 zombie, does that mean just the 1/1 zombie is destroyed, or do both get sent to the graveyard?

---

1. No. If the creature it's bestowed on is destroyed, Nighthowler stops being an aura and becomes a creature.

2. If a creature still has summoning sickness, you can not use activated abilities that require tapping.

Can i put 2 xenagos in a battlefield (1x is xenagos,the revellerr and the other one 1x xenagos,the god of revels.)?

In regards to heroic abilities,

1. Yes, Reap What Is Sown will trigger all heroic abilities.

2. No, you can only put a maximum of one +1/+1 counter per creature. You can just do that for up to 3 creatures if I'm reading it correctly.

In regards to Xenagos, yes you can. The planeswalker only checks to see if another Planeswalker has the same subtype. The legendary god only checks to see if there's another legend with the same name. Both of them don't find either.

You are. This card is similar but lets you put multiple counters on the same creature.
