this is true.

Nice to know, thanks. 😁

@@edhdeckbuilding I figured you knew but I wanted to include it for people who didnt know since im sure some people are seeing the card for the first time or are wanting to know ways to get around it. :) p.s. I enjoy the content keep up the good work

you can also have your hand discarded with a mindslicer effect.

So gyruda would still mill your deck. Gyruda is too OP.

Have you seen anything by "This is a commander channel"? The host mostly does tough rulings and interesting interactions - videos similar in style to these ones - if you're looking for more.

@@BaritoneBeard I have indeed, I am already subbed to them lol. FishMTG has some interesting funky rules videos too

run while u can

In order for something to "Die" it has to hit the graveyard. Every token ever When destroyed hits the graveyard first then disappears into the shadowrealm. Sacrificing is only an outlet to your graveyard. But leyline replaces your "graveyard" with the "exile" zone instead. (i'm 99.9% sure on this)

@@mattstullick4036 Tokens are permanets but mechanically MTG does not see tokens as cards. Therefore, Leyline of the Void does not stop tokens from going to the graveyard, meeting the "dies" requirement.

@@vaylik oh thanks for the heads up. Something that has been a Gray zone for me after 12 years of playing. Never realized this, and neither have any of my playgroup. Good to know my dude.

It's a great question, because MTG is complicated and those terms NEED definition! :)

Me too!

@@Arosium Since there are multiple replacement effects happening, and you control them all, you must choose which order they are replaced in. So say for instance you have a 0/0 that enters with one +1/+1 counter. Both effects try to replace how many counters will be on the creature. You can choose either ability to replace first. Obviously if you want the most counters on the creature you will have Scales replace first, then Evolution. So, Scales would have it enter with 2 counters on it, then Evolution's replacement effect will double that to 4 counters. And yes, if for some specific reason you needed the creature to only enter with 3 counters (like to say get a specific buff), then you could order the replacements the other way. If you and your opponent both have replacement effects for the same event, then the ordering would look different. It would have the inactive player's effect replace first, then after that one is done the turn player's replacement would occur. For instance, opponent has a Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider in play and you have the two above mentioned cards. You try to make the same creature enter the battle field in the first example. It's your turn. The Vorinclex would replace the event first, causing it to get no counters, then for maximum counters you'd let Scales replace next, netting 1 counter, then Evolution for a total of 2 counters. If it was the opponent's turn, it would still end up with the same number of counters, but all of your replacement effects would be counted before Vorinclex's.

@@tonysmith9905 the part of your comment about ordering opponents’ replacement effects is not accurate. The affected player or the controller of the affected object orders replacement effects.

@@tonysmith9905 with that of vorenclex if you put 1 counter and then apply vorenclex first, even when you have other effects you put no counters on it.

Yeah, there's a reason that all temporary Act of Treason spells give the target Haste.

Yes the affected player gets to choose the order to apply

That's pretty awesome! There are a couple of ways around it, like the opponent could sacrifice the targeted creature to something like Phyrexian Tower, making the Sudden Substitution fizzle. Also, I think using the blue Pact wouldn't work because it counters a spell, so the opponent could do the same Deflecting Swat trick that Demo mentioned and have it counter itself because it's on the stack when they're choosing new targets. But yes, sounds like a neat way to take someone out out of nowhere!

@@charliemarlow647 yeah the blue pact doesn't work. And they have to have a sac outlet such as like your said phyrexian altar since that is a mana ability but not just any sac outlet because that counts as a cost for an ability which can't be played because of the split second.

Look for my comment wondering about the answer to it

yes clone copies copy the cmc as well.

Culling Ritual doesn't care whether or not a permanent is a token.

@@edhdeckbuilding so clone/copy tokens are different type of token, therefore not a 0 cmc permanent... got it

@@VentBoy311 a token copy of a permanent retains all details of the permanent it is copying (for example Double Major or Feldon of the third path). A token that was not created using the characteristics of another card (for example a krenko goblin token) has zero cmc.

You get to choose which order they apply, so if you apply Xorn first you’ll get the extra cat/dog when you apply jinnie’s effect

Maybe this will help: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aqtzgKSZlsXWqIU.html

There’s another one of these videos that kind of answers it. *You* decide the order of how *your* triggers resolve, so yes, you could have thermo-alchemist tap multiple times from one instant/sorcery cast (assuming there’s no summoning sickness on thermo).

I believe that cascade is an "on cast" triggered ability, which means it triggers when the spell hits the stack _if the spell was cast._ Copies of spells are _not_ cast, they're created on the stack, so copying a spell with cascade won't cause another cascade. You have to copy the cascade ability itself, or copy the card before it is cast then cast the copy to get additional cascades. Cascade being an "on cast" trigger is also why countering the spell with cascade won't stop the cascade.

You’ll just fail to find where you go through your whole library & then shuffle your library or whatever it says

Card rulings via Gatherer If you cast a spell “without paying its mana cost,” you can't choose to cast it for any alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs. If the card has any mandatory additional costs, you must pay those to cast the spell. Buyback is an additional cost to instants and sorcery

@@angeltoink Correct, and here's the fun part: 400.3. If an object would go to any library, graveyard, or hand other than its owner’s, it goes to its owner’s corresponding zone. So you can use your Rod of Absorption to cast a spell with Buyback owned by another player and pay the Buyback cost. However, the card will be returned to its owner's hand not yours.

A spell only fizzles if all of it's targets are missing or made invalid some how before resolution. A spell will continue to do as much as it can as long as it has a legal target left.

The important part here is many equipment state that the "Equipped creature gets..." So with a Loxodon Warhammer equipped, no matter who controls it, the creature gains lifelink and the creature is the one dealing damage. So whoever controls the creature gains the life. Contrast that with Sword of the Animist: "Whenever equipped creature attacks, you..." Sword of the Animist only cares that the creature it's equipped to is declared as an attacker.

Using Skullclamp as another example, Skullclamp says "Whenever equipped creature dies, draw two cards." So, whoever controls the Skullclamp draws the cards. Fun Fact: you can use Ardenn, Intrepid Archaeologist to equip your Skullclamp to an opponent's creature. Let's contrast that with Avarice Amulet (I had to go digging to find something with this templating): Equipped creature gets +2/+0 and has vigilance and “At the beginning of your upkeep, draw a card.” Here the equipped creature is the one gaining the ability, so the creature's controller is the one drawing cards.

@@ITNinja99 hoooooly shit thank you so much for the extra details and examples my dude. That helps a ton 💚

@@FaustNoa The real easiest way to tell is if the ability is in "quotation" marks or not. If the creature itself gains the ability, then the ability is always in quotation marks, which means who ever controls the creatures does the effect. If the ability isn't in quotations then the ability is part of the equipment, or enchantment, itself.

Yes you apply replacement effects one at a time in the order of your choice, and only once each for whatever they're replacing.

the stipulations that the tokens have stay with them, you are simply replacing what kind of token is being created. Signed, a Jinney Fay player

yes.

If you would draw multiple cards at once, the game treats it as drawing one card multiple times within the resolution of one effect. During these multiple draw effects, no players have priority and state based effects are not checked (until the spell has resolved and the game is attempting to pass priority to a player). If i remember correctly, and please correct me if im wrong, since state based effects are not checked in the middle of an ability resolving, if you have an effect like Future Sight, Oracle of Mul Daya, or Melek Izzet Paragon in play that says to play with your topdeck revealed, your opponents would only see the first card you drew and the top card of your deck after you have finished drawing.

Simply respond to them casting Teferi's protection, Stomp is an instant.

@@Intangible360 alternatively, target something another opponent has in play to resolve stomp, then swing at the TefPro player. They cant even do anything about it that isn’t free because their mana producers are phased out!

You don't actually put the creature on storage any more the card has been errated to: 3: Exile target creature you control. Sacrifice Cold Storage: Return each creature card exiled with Cold Storage to the battlefield under your control. So if you sac storage the creature returns to the battlefield under your control.

From the rulings: "The artifact card you put onto the battlefield when the ability resolves may be the same card that you returned to your hand when you paid the cost. If so, it returns to the battlefield as a new object with no relation to its previous existence."

If you have more then one effect trying to replace the same event you can chose the order in Wich they replace them. So you can first let the scales replace it making it two counters and then the evolution can double it making it four counters.

Yes. But its worth noting jeska only allows the damage to be tripled if the damage is being dealt to a player (it might also triple damage to walkers too but i dont remember). It DOES NOT triple damage dealt to creatures, so your targeted creature would have to be unblocked if you wanted to gain the life with triple damage.

@@connorl0204 thank you very much!

That and Friday night magic tends to do the trick

When you replace a card draw with Abundance, the draw never happens and the card you get goes into your hand without being drawn. What this means is that if you replace your draw for the turn and the two draws from Sylvan Library with Abundance’s replacement effect, you get to keep all three cards without having to pay any life. This is because no cards have actually been drawn this turn and thus you can’t choose any drawn cards for the latter part of Sylvan Library’s trigger.

If I recall correctly, wishclaw talisman has no targets so while your friend can legally cast deflecting swat, it would be to no effect.

If Cadric is entering the battlefield simultaneously as other legendary creatures, he will see those creatures etb and will be able to trigger his ability to copy them.

Thank you very much!!!

Yep, since infect doesn't change your lifetotal in the first place there is nothing that changes when an infect creature deals damage to you.

Nothing happens to the exiled creature until the Fiend Hunter leaves the battlefield. Taking control of another player's permanent (in this case a creature) does not cause it to leave the battlefield.

@@ITNinja99 thank you. My opponent thought he would get his creature back, and I tried to explain that to him.

No you cannot 😕

The 3 cards you draw are each revealed. Of the cards you put back only the top one will be revealed after resolving.

This actually works your not discarding to the grave, but discarding to exile.

@@ScorpioneOrzion It still feels like it doesn't fit the definition of discard, as defined in the rules. Just one of the many interactions that don't make sense to me.

The way that would work, to the best of my understanding is that since portal says you cant draw at all, dredge never has a chance to take effect because dredge says if you WOULD draw a card and portal says you arent allowed to even try to. A general rule of thumb that will help in almost every scenario (i cant think of any example where this IS NOT correct but i may be wrong) is that cant effects overpower can effects.

@@connorl0204 but they are both replacement effects yes? "IF a player would draw, that player skips that draw INSTEAD" and "IF you would draw a card, INSTEAD you may-etc" So are you saying that because one is a "you may" ability and the other doesn't give a choice, the one not giving a choice wins out? I was thinking/hoping that was wrong cause by choosing to dredge instead, I'm still not going to draw so if there's a way to order the resolution of replacement effects (is that a thing?) I'd dredge, then the portal would see I'm not about to draw and have nothing to replace

@@jacobstone4070 if something says you cant draw cards, then you dont have the option to dredge because the game sees that you arent allowed to attempt to draw, meaning that dredge cant replace the draw to begin with.

Sorry, this is what i get for trying to answer a question without looking up the card first. I was under the assumption that portal had an effect that said players can’t draw cards. You should be able to dredge with that by choosing to apply the dredge replacement effect before the portal “skip the draw” effect i think.

For this one the first manufactor would see you make a clue and have you make all 3, then the second manufactor would see you making all 3 so you'd make 3 of all 3.

@@peadrianlastname actually tor specifically academy manufactor, your end result is 9 of each token if there are two manufactors. Im not 100% sure how the mechanics of the game work it that way, but thats how it works and theres even a ruling on its gatherer page that says exactly that if you have two of them you end up with 9 of each, 27 of each for three, 81 of each for 4, and tells you to figure it out yourself from there (which i find quite funny) Basically, having multiple manufactors in play gives you a parabolic growth scenario (3 to the x power where x is the number of manufactors you control).

@@connorl0204 I believe you misread that because 1x3=3 x3=9 then your need a 3rd manufactor to hit 27

@@peadrianlastname i said 3 manufactors gets 27 of each token? 3^3 is 27

Specifically, the ruling i mentioned says: “If you control eighteen Academy Manufactors (I don't know, you figure it out) and would create some number of Clue, Food, or Treasure tokens, you will instead create 129,140,163 times that many Clue tokens, 129,140,163 times that many Food tokens, and 129,140,163 times that many Treasure tokens.”

The targeting (what hexproof and shroud stops) you do when it comes to enchanting happens when you cast it. But if an enchantment aura enters the battlefield any other way then resolving after it's cast then the owner of it chooses what it will attach to. Notably it doesn't target when you do this, so hexproof and shroud don't stop it. Protection is a bit different, it also prevents the thing having protection from being targeted but on top of that it also stops it from being attached by anything that it has protection from. So protection does stop auras that enter via effects like zur.

@@helderboymh i myself know this but not everyone else does so i was asking him yo cover it. I literally play Zur in Cedh tournaments. Also Zur does bypass protection is the aura alters the card such as imprisoned in the moon, dark steel mutation or Oubliette which phases it out.

@@DUxMORTEM owh aha nevermind and yeah that would be a good video

DEBT is the old mnemonic people used to remember what protection actually prevented - Damage Enchant/equip Blocking Targeting

@@earthbowser1493 that's what I was always taught. I didn't think it prevented damage from say a spell that deals 5 damage to all creatures. But that it would prevent targeting and your opponent can't target you as a player with spells or attacks thanks to Teferi's Protection

@@williammell845 It would do both! Something with protection from red wouldn't be able to be targeted or damaged by a red source (like a lightning bolt for example). So a player with protection from everything wouldn't be able to be targeted or damaged by any source.

@@earthbowser1493 but in the video he mentions you can be attacked by a creature with lifelink and your life total won't change but they will still gain life on hitting you

@@williammell845 He's talking about a card like Platinum Emperion. With that card out, damage still happens, it just makes it so that it does not cause life loss to happen (damage normally causes loss of life). So damage all happens, but Platinum Emperion makes it so that the damage doesn't cause you to lose life, and the lifelink makes it so that the damage causes lifegain for the creature's controller. Teferi's Protection does a lot of things. The protection from everything will prevent the damage all together. Since it's prevented, the damage doesn't happen, so lifelink doesn't gain life. However there are cards that make it so damage can't be prevented (Questing Beast for example). So if damage can't be prevented, that sort of gets around the protection, the creature can attack (attacking doesn't target) protection tries to prevent the damage, but can't, Teferri's Protection will prevent your life total from changing, but since damage still happened, lifelink still applies, and any commander damage still counts up (even though life total didn't change). It's a lot going on and can get complicated really quickly.

You can still be attacked by things you ha e protection from. Remember protection does 4 things. Can't be targeted by Can't be blocked by Can't be dealt damage by Can't be attached by Says nothing about being unable to be attacked by.

Is it though?

@@Tvboy777 45 damage for 8 mana, yes I think that's pretty strong

I've won games out of nowhere with a crackle with power like that. My 1 x cost things grind out the game getting us to mid to late game where theyre gassing out. Leaves my double/triple X things with big windows of opportunity.

Feather does use instead
