Welcome to Gaia! ::

not sure why i haven't asked this already.

if you have 2 timber protectors in play, will they make each other indestructible since they each say "other treefolk and forests you control are indestructible?"

similar question for Vigor. Vigor says "if damage would be dealt to a creature you control other than Vigor, prevent that damage." will 2 vigors protect each other from damage?

YOU ASK MORE QUESTIONS NOW!

side note: I may or may not be changing my name back to "liz_bliz" (a common gamer tag of mine that I use many other places) soon, so if I do i no one be alarmed.

Also, yawg, if i do, I'll need you to change my name on the first page.

I'm feeling useless with the lack of questions in this thread of late....;p

eh, either people here are getting smarter, or they just are asking questions less.

Hmm, I would have said the two triggers to replace the damage would go ont he stack and who's turn it was (and there for the active player, no-active player stacking rules) would determine what happened. IE: if it was youturn your replacement effect would go on first but purity's would resolve first and vice-versa.

however i looked up the official rules:
If a source you control would deal noncombat damage to an opponent, you may have that source deal that damage to a planeswalker that opponent controls instead. This is a redirection effect: you choose whether to redirect the damage as the redirection effect is applied, and it's subject to the normal rules for ordering replacement effects. The player affected by the damage chooses the order in which to apply such effects, but the controller of the source of the damage chooses whether the damage is redirected. Note that this redirection can't be applied to combat damage.

Now I had thought that the only time a player got to choose the order of multiple replacements, or multiple anything effects, was when they all belong them them. It sounds like what they are saying here is that the turn doesn't matter, the defending player gets to say in what order the damage replacement happens.

Hm, that's almost seems to go against some of the basics of magic, giving control of when effects happen to players other than the controller of the ability. Then again, wizards has made some stupid rules decisions before.

also paying the cost of a spell or ability, that does not use the stack. No one cane respond to "i sac this creature to use this ability. They can only respond to the ability itself.

I'm not sure on this, but I think 'whenever' can still be responded to, they just can be triggered at any point, even during the resolution of another spell. They're kind of like statics in the fact that they are always checking and always there, but will trigger at any point. That's why that enchantment that turned into a crocodile whenever you have no cards in your hand triggers off of a wheel of fortune.

Question:

Sam has 3 Creatures in play including a Hissing Iguanar. Tom casts Wrath of God. Does Hissing Iguanar deal any damage?
