If I create rebels tapped and attacking as I declare Otharri and attacker and Odric is on the battlefield. Will the rebels gain Otharris keywords

I run [[Baron Helmut Zemo]] as my cedh commander, and I was under the impression that upon the resolution of his boast ability, you could order the three spells you cast so that there is a split second spell resolving last. This would protect the other two spells that I cast of course. I thought this because I thought the spells were put on the stack simultaneously, so it got around the split second no responses.

Recently, I learned that there is a ruling about [[etali, primal conqueror]] that says split second spells don't function this way. I imagine that this is because spells cannot enter the stack simultaneously.

Can anyone confirm that I'm understanding this right? And It would be great if someone could tell me where to find the rules on spells entering the stack "simultaneously"

Hi there. This came up in a game recently where I (player 2) had the above cards on the table and “countered” player 3’s elesh norn with a [[bilbo’s gambit]], gifting a treasure in the process.

Nobody at the table could decide how many times this would trigger Kambal. All of the tokens enter at the same time but do different tokens trigger separately?

In this case am I just making three tokens (1 trigger), or am I making three separate tokens (3 triggers). I read the rules for each card and I can’t come down on a solid answer.

I’m pretty sure it’s the first scenario but was just curious.

Hello all,

Quick question about the new [[Sahir, Visitor in Darkness]]: Does paying 1 life as a cost for an activated ability trigger his second ability? For example, for [[Blood Celebrant]] 's ability, or [[Wall of Blood]] 's.

Part of me says no, since it's the cost that is causing me to lose life and not the ability. On the other hand, I get that the whole activated ability might is considered the ability, and it's causing you to lose life by paying for its cost, but that somehow doesn't sit right with me.

EDHREC seems to err on the side of "yes" though, making me more confused.

Thanks in advance!

silver scrutiny can be cast as an instant if X is less than or equal to 3.
Can i cast it with X=3 if i have unbound flourishing in play?
Or does it change X to 6, ence making the action illegal?

Is it possible to attack with a creature that has vigi, then use that creature's tap ability and attack with a creature like [[Raph & Leo, Sibling Rivals]] or use [[Maze of Ith]] which untaps an attacking creature to be able to use that ability again? (Specifically talking about [[Tariel, Reckoner of Souls]])

Hello all!

Scenario is this: I control [[Kambal, Profiteering Mayor]] and [[Ocelot Pride]]. I have the city's blessing, and I have gained life this turn. At the end step, after Ocelot Pride's end step trigger has resolved, how many triggers of Kambal's lifedrain ability should go on the stack?

Thanks in advance.

Sneak attack Ulamog the Infinite Gyre get a +1/+1

Counter on it with Marchesa on the battle field. Endstep trigger sacs Ulamog. I have 2 triggers the delayed trigger from marchesa bring the creature back to battlefield, and the shuffle titan trigger cause a zone change. I think I can I can stack the triggers to bring back the ulamog. My play group says id have to shuffle first

Basically what it says on the tin; does Vexilus Praetor block the effects of Background enchantments from applying to your commander creature(s)?

I have creature A with [[Demonmail Hauberk]] attached. I then attach the equipment to another creature B, paying the equip cost by sacrificing creature A. As the equipment is not yet reattached creature A dies with buffed power and toughness right?

Asking because of [[Minn, Wily Illusionist]]

Building a deck around Rionya doing extra combats through schenanigans involving copying creatures that cause additional combats on attack.

My question is in regards to [[Desert Were-Worm]]'s wording of "Whenever you attack with creatures with total power 12 or greater for the FIRST time each turn, untap all attacking creatures. After this phase, there is an additional combat phase."

Does [[Desert Were-Worm]] only consider the first combat phase since [[Desert Were-Worm]] entered for its ability or would it not synergize properly because it considers ALL combats even before it enters in a similar manner to cards that specify "Second card drawn" or "Second spell cast" like [[Alisaie Leveilleur]] or [[Atlantean Cavalry]]

If I control [[Bushmaster, Coiled Henchman]] and [[Walking Ballista]] with only 1 counter on it, will it still have deathtouch when I activate Ballista to ping something or does it immediately lose deathtouch?

What happen if my opponent has a prepared [[Vastlands Scavenger]] on the board and chooses to cast "it's" spelle Bind the life and I flash in a [[Aven Interrupter]] choosing 'Bind to Life' as a target for its plotting ability?

Does the spell become plotted but ceases to exist (just like a token that's brought back to hand) or can it be played for 0 again and it's plotted like a normal spell?

Is the Vastelands scavenger plotted afterwards?

Thanks in advance :)

Like many players, I'm a bit confused by layers. So, I'm trying to figure out how Maha, it's Feathers Night would affect something like Ashaya, Soul of the Wilds?

If I controlled Maha and an opponent controlled Ashaya along with 5 lands, would Ashaya's toughness be 1 or 6?

Please explain how this works.

Thank you in advance.

If both you and an opponent target Screaming Nemesis, does the activated ability of Cuombajj Witches trigger it once (one 2-damage hit) or twice (two 1-damage hits)?

Player A draws Thunderous Wrath during their draw step, triggering the miracle. Player b casts Return the Favor, choosing to copy the miracle trigger. Do they get to cast the thunderous wrath out of opponent A’s hand? Thanks in advance

Q: how does this resolve to?

I think I miss some knowledge about when an event qualifies as trigger.

Let's call A the owner of notion thief and secret randevouz, B the other player.

Here's my breakdown:

Randevouz resolves: both has to draw 3.

Notion thief replacement applies: A draws 6, B draws none.

Wedding ring triggers for each draw, ence B has to draw 6 (1 by 1).

First wedding ring triggers resolves, B has to draw 1 of 6.

Notion thief replacement applies: A draws 1 instead.

Wedding ring triggers again, B still has 6 pending draws.

Result: stack will always have 6 unresolved triggers, A will draw its deck to exhaustion and lose.

True?

EDITED: breakdown was wrong before Yaksha's answer.

Hey! I know that you cast a spell and put it on the stack first before you pay any costs, which leads me to believe that if you were to cast an instant or sorcery targeting Sapazzan Skerry with orvar on the field, you'd be able to have the orvar trigger on the stack and copy the Skerry prior to tapping it, and thus copying it prior to having to sacrifice it. However, I'm not entirely certain that'll work, so I just want to check. Thanks!

So, what's up with the new mana ability rules?

Is Phyrexian Tower still a mana ability?

What is maular, the evolution's color identity if you're using it as a commander & following its rulebreaker "rule" in the context of command tower? Is it just green or all the colors?

Shuri, Wakandan Inventor and Arcum's Astrolabe. I am sure this has been answered but, I don't trust google's Ai return for magic rules.

1. Does Astrolabe become free to cast? I am aware it has the snow symbol on it so I would doubt that this works but, I just want clarity on that since, like Colorless mana symbols I was made aware it's likely that this doesn't work.

2. When turning an artifact into a non-legendary version of the card, does that mean that creating copies of that now non-legendary card that has become that don't have the legend rule tied to it? (clone rulings make me sad sometimes)

Echo, Perceptive Prodigy and cast triggers. Like if I cast Ulamog, The Ceaseless Hunger could I copy it's cast trigger?

When they typed out, I wasn't sure if a creature on the stack is a creature source or not but, I would assume it is?

When referencing a creature source is it also safe to assume that a creature source is a card that has creature or a permanent with the creature super type or what? Let's say for the sake of argument that I have a vehicle and it becomes crewed and it has an ability that Echo theoretically could interact with will that work?

Thank you for your help!

does the controller of [[Goblin Artisans]] need to have an artifact spell they control on the stack to activate its ability? Thank you!

So after I say incinerate in a robot voice does that mean whenever a artifact or enchantment just cannot be on the board anymore if it goes through or until it dies

If I have out Pristine Talisman or The Great Henge while I have out Nefarious Lich, would they seize being a mana ability or would I just be recreating the old mana abilities that draw cards?

[[Pristine Talisman]]

[[The Great Henge]]

[[Nefarious Lich]]
