Welcome to Gaia! ::

Okay. Just checking to see if the ordering of the actions on the card had anythign to do with the entwine cost, since they're reversed.

Another obvious question, but one i'm unable to look up (Time constraints, Sorry i'm making you think.)

Vedlaken Archmage's ability states that when an artifact comes into play, draw a card.

The artifact lands, (Seat of the Synod, Anceint Den, etc...) Are considered art...

Nevermind that, Vedlaken says Artifact Spells, but lands aren't spells. Disregard that.

I'm not sure I understand your question. But in any case I'll give you what answer I think you're looking for. The order of the effects on cards with entwine does matter. If you pay the entwine you must do the two effects in the order they were written. You can't tooth and nail with entwine and put two creatures from your hand into play before you search.


Morph is a special ability that does not use the stack so that's why you can morph a willbender or any creature face up in response to split second. Willbender's ability reads "When willbender is turned face up change the target of target spell or ability with a single target". The "When" means its triggered. Split Second does not stop triggered abilities from happening.

Example. If you have an enchantment that says "Whenever an opponent plays an instant, that player takes 1 damage" and they play Sudden Death, they still take 1 damage because it doesn't stop triggered abilities from stacking ontop of the split second and resolving. It only stops spells and activated abilities.

Note: Static abilities like Glorious Anthem are also not affect by split second (or anything in the game currently) in any way shape or form

Q1: Just one. Replicate, like Storm, has to have all copies countered to completely neutralize the spell. Even if he counters the original the rest will still resolve as normal.

Q2: Yes and no. Yes you can but not once it takes damage. As of Sixth Edition combat damage uses the stack. You can choose to wait for damage to "stack" and once it's on the stack each player may respond to it. If you respond by bouncing your creature a la Veldaken Mastermind then when combat damage resolves his creature will take the damage yours dealt but his creature will "miss" and swing at nothing. (unless it has trample and some spilled over to you).

Nope. You'll lose. When a creature is turned face down it becomes a 2/2 creature with no name, no abilities, no creature, and no mana cost. So the ability that says you can't lose and they can't win is no longer around. If you're at 0 or less life when this happens the next time a player would receive priority state based effects are checked, the game sees you have 0 or less life, and you lose.


Yes. Splinter only cares about the card type upon targetting and resolution. The rest of it's removal cares about the name. If you turn an Island into an artifact with Myr Landshaper (this means the text line will read Basic Artifact Land - Island) and Splinter it, splinter will see the name "Island" in the name box and remove all cards with that name irregardless of what they are in the library, hand and graveyard.

I don't think so because when something that was enchanted isn't being a legal target any more, the enchantment falls off.

I completely missed these posts yesterday when I checked.

But yes Nosada. Bobby and String Theory are correct.


In addition. Since all my other apprentices have abandoned this thread I've opened applications up for new ones. To apply PM me with the title "Apprenticeship" (any PMs without that subject line will be ignored since this is to test who reads instructions and who doesn't) and I'll send you a test that you have 5 hours to respond to. You must answer ALL questions correctly. If you miss even one, you fail. If you get them all right you'll be added to the list. Thanks ahead of time for those who take the time to help me out by applying for apprenticeship. domokun

hey yawgy, long time no see. what happened to your old apprentice? and since when have you been a site mod?
