If I have Silverquill lecturer, creatures I cast have demonstrate. If I do decide to demonstrate, and an opponent gets a copy of the creature spell I cast, does it also then have demonstrate?

Would Mycoloth trigger if it had +1/+1 counters on it became an enchantment and stopped being a creature?

Am I allowed to use different sleeves in my sideboard and mainboard? For instance, to make it easier to distinguish the two when playing Karn the Great Creator.

Obviously if one of the sideboard cards were to enter the deck, the sleeve would need to be changed to match the rest of the deck. However, if one of these sideboard cards enters my hand, will I need to change out the sleeve? What about when it enters the graveyard or exile?

Thank you

Hello, I have a question regarding how the interaction of Come Back Wrong and Edgar, Charmed Groom works on the front side.

Hey this interaction between [[Mana Breach]] and [[Storm Cauldron]] has come up and we’ve tried to understand how this would resolve.
We understand Storm Cauldron is a triggered ability, but we don’t know how this would resolve.

Thank you in advance :)

Hello everyone! I know Princess Yue has some interesting rules interactions around her, but I just wanted to clarify something for my own sake. If I cast a [[Clone]] and have it enter as Princess Yue, sacrifice the clone copy of Yue, and then have rhe land enter as something with a landfall ability (something like [[Ruin Crab]] for example), will it trigger its own landfall, thereby milling my opponents 6 cards, or does it miss its own landfall trigger? This is probably a pretty easy question to answer and I may be overthinking it (the rules for this commander are crazy and I've just gone back to work after the summer so my brain is fried lol) but I wanted to be sure. Thanks for the help!

Rule 702.22j says:

During the combat damage step, if an attacking creature is being blocked by a creature with banding, or by both a [quality] creature with “bands with other [quality]” and another [quality] creature, the defending player (rather than the active player) chooses how the attacking creature’s damage is assigned. That player can divide that creature’s combat damage as they choose among any creatures blocking it. This is an exception to the procedure described in rule 510.1c.

Does that mean if I block a creature with, say, [[ayula queen among bears]], [[wilson refined grizzly]] and three [[grizzly bear]]s while controlling [[adventurers guildhouse]], could I assign the damage to the grizzly bears, even though they dont have any banding quality?

And if it were ayula and three grizzlys but no wilson, I couldnt, right?

All of my competitive magic was damage and the stack and this was easy to do. I mainly play edh now and this trick doesnt seem to work any more?

One of the last decks I am tuning for edh is my old brokkos infect deck. Now its a Brokkos, infect/voltron/clones/copy deck with Ivy in the 99. If Brokkos mutates onto a creature, the copy generated by Ivy's second ability gets blocked by the legendary rule unless I have a way to either 1. get around that rule or 2. make it not legendary, correct? I tried looking at scryfall and it did not provide help.

Thank you in advance

I have a question to a potential combo. I thought every combo would be listed at spellbook, but I couldn't find that. Therefore I doubt if this works.

On the field:

[[Persistent constrictor]]

At the beginning of each opponent's upkeep, they lose 1 life and you put a -1/-1 counter on up to one target creature they control.

Persist (When this creature dies, if it had no -1/-1 counters on it, return it to the battlefield under its owner's control with a -1/-1 counter on it.)

[[Obelisk spider]]

Reach

Whenever this creature deals combat damage to a creature, put a -1/-1 counter on that creature.

Whenever you put one or more -1/-1 counters on a creature, each opponent loses 1 life and you gain 1 life.

[[Blech]]

Whenever you gain life, put a +1/+1 counter on each Pest, Bat, Insect, Snake, and Spider you control.

[[Viscera seer]]

Sacrifice a creature: Scry 1. (Look at the top card of your library. You may put that card on the bottom.)

I sac persisten constrictor with viscera seer. Persistent constrictor comes back and it enters with a -1/-1 counter. This count as putting a counter on a creature, so obelisk spider triggers. Obelisks trigger goes on the stack and resolves after constrictor entered. I get 1 life, blech is triggered and adds a +1/+1 to constrictor. I sac constrictor again and repeat.

The only point i could imagine why this not works, is that obelisk is triggered before constrictor enters, but there is no sba check before constrictor enters, so it's on the field, when obelisk and blech resolves. Am I right?

If i equip bard with wizard staff, will i draw 4 cards from one draw, or will they just replace each other and have nothing happen?

While building a Naya Aura deck, with a secret commander of [[Three Dog, Galaxy News DJ]] I was reading his rulings and stumbled upon a question regarding [[Leyline Immersion]].

Leyline Immersion says-

-Enchant Legendary Creature

Three Dog rules says-

-If one of the Aura tokens being created couldn't legally be attached to the appropriate attacking creature (because of an ability like protection from enchantments), that Aura token won't be created.

And also-

-Since Three Dog's reflexive triggered ability doesn't target, Aura tokens created by that ability will be attached to attacking creatures you control with shroud.

Will any fodder tokens I have (saprolings, soldiers, Plants etc.) Get the Leyline Immersion Aura? Does this fail to create copies for the nonlegendary targets, or does it create the Aura for all targets, but fall off the non-legendary when we check state based actions?

Im making a «all lands» deck for fun, probably only playing it once or twice.

Im not too well versed with rulings and such, as I only play with my same group of friends, but I want to make sure this works. We usually ask ai to rule disagreements and most of the time just go with it.

I have multiple questions/problems:

Does [[war doctor]] get a counter for each land exiled, or only one counter? This was already answered in the other thread but want to make sure in this context.

Ai says that if [[ryan sinclair]] doesn’t find a non land card, the ability stops, and therefore he doesn’t return the lands back to the library, meaning you lose next turn. Is this correct?

If so, could you add any card with higher mana value than Ryan’s power into your deck to fix this? My thinking is that if you exile let’s say 20 lands before hitting your «rock», it then gets put at the bottom of the library, so every trigger onwards will always hit the «rock» lastly.

Am I right in thinking so, or do you have to shuffle the cards exiled before putting it on the bottom of your library?

I’m aware that Rigo tracks attacks against different players and planeswalkers. Do Battles count as a separate entity to trigger Rigo?

I finished an [[Umbris, Fear Manifest]] clone deck and have been testing it, and I ran into an interaction with [[Roaming Throne]] that I'm curious about. (Sidenote, I did make a post asking about Umbris and [[Rite of Replication]] very recently if this sounds familiar.)

If I have Umbris and I put out a roaming throne, I know it enters as a Horror (in this case that's my creature type of choice), triggering the exiling. If I were to clone Roaming Throne, would THAT clone copy the following ETB, causing a total of 3 triggers (Umbris, the first roaming throne, and the RT clone), or would it only provide 2 triggers, not copying the trigger itself?

On the same line of thought, if I cast a kicked Rite of Replication on the roaming throne, do all 5 copies also copy each Umbris trigger, or no?

SOLVED

I am building a [[Karlov of the Ghost Council]] deck. He has "whenever you gain life, put 2 +1/+1 counter on Karlov". I have many cards like [[Soul Warden]] that gain life when creatures enter or X happens. I do also have cards like [[Cleric Class]], that when I gain life, I gain an additional life.

My question is, if a creature enters when I have Soul Warden and Cleric Class on the battlefield, then another creature enters, and Soul Warden triggers, then Cleric Class triggers, does Karlov triggering twice, meaning I get 4 counters because it's two instances of life gain, or do Soul Warden and Cleric Class count as one instance of life gain?

My opponent has [[Shredder Shadow Master]] does a card like [[Observed Stasis]] have to be cast at the begging of combat to negate the creation of Shredder's token?

My setup is already untapped infinite treasures.

Can I just play Twinshot Sniper, sacrifice with Legion Extruder and put him to the bottom of the deck with Barkform Harvester and put hin on the field with Magda, Brazen Outlaw?

I saw no primer showcasing that combo which made me insecure. It should work.

They always tend to use one ring and copy it and draw the whole deck. I assume they want to use the channel ability to avoid etb counters. However, does my time saving one work too?

I assume, it would be even more easier too just put in a Fire Nation Turret

Hello everyone! I was wondering about the interaction of these two cards since they both trigger during the upkeep.

Specifically, if Simic Supremacy has less than 20 counters, can i resolve the ability of forgotten ancient first so it makes the counter on Sismic Supremacy go to 20 and then win the game?

I'm a bit confused on when do "at the beggining of your upkeep" abilities enter the stack and when they don't

Thanks for the help!

Hello

As title suggests, Opp A has [[Roaming Throne]], [[Y'shtola, Night's Blessed]] with [[Sigil of Sleep]] attached. He was claiming that Sigil triggers twice due to Roaming but I argued that Sigil is not giving Y'Shotla an ability, it is the aura doing the affect. I argued that [[Helm of the Ghastlord]] gave an ability to the creature so it would trigger twice but Sigil does not.

Who is correct?

My pod are trying to figure out the ruiling on this. Dauthi is on the field and Geth's Grimoire is as well. When an opponent discards, would I as the player be able to draw one card even if the card is being discarded then moved into exile?

Also - I have Anvil of Bogardan causing people to discard.

Thanks!

looking to build a colorless commander and wondered if I could create some mana using this card or any card that says "mana of any color"

Hi there! Quick question for you all:

Let's say I have a [[Pollywog Prodigy]] on the battlefield with no counters on it. If I'm understanding correctly, if [[Naban, Dean of Iteration]] enters, it will cause two triggers for the PP (since it has 2 power and PP starts with only 1). But do I end up with two +1/+1 counters on the PP, or just one? I guess what I'm really asking is if the second evolve trigger will "check" if it's still valid — because it will have 2 power after the resolution of the first trigger.

Edit: thanks for the quick responses! Bummed this doesn't work quite in my favor haha.

Can someone explain to me why is it that I'm seeing that [[Bilbo, Thief in the night]] CAN cast an adventure side of a card, but [[Glamdring, Foe-Hammer]] CAN'T retrieve them. There must be some kind of weirdness in the rules that I'm just not getting here.

So I'm building a deck that has a lot of interaction with [[Cauldron of Souls]]. I had the idea to give all my creatures persist while [[Gorma, the Gullet]] is on the field then board wipe with something like [[Toxic Deluge]]. Would Gorma count all the death's during the wipe and when everything come back would they have X +1/+1 counters?
