This thread is for the discussion of my latest article, Cranial Insertion: Diplomacy. We would be grateful if you would let us know what you think, but please keep your comments on topic.
Q: My opponent cast Sanity Grinding and put an Overbeing of Myth into his graveyard. Does that count toward the Sanity Grinding?
A: It sure does! Sanity Grinding looks for each "blue mana symbol". is a mana symbol, and it's blue, which fits the bill. That must be driving you crazy!
the question doesn't even make sense! was it typed out wrong or am I just missing something? (sanity grinding reveals them, it doesn't put them in the graveyard)

Even if the author is silenced, the performance is stopped, the story will not end.
Whether it's a comedy or a tragedy, if there is cheering, the story will continue on.
Just like the many lives.
For the us who are still in it and still in the journey, send warm blessings.
- We will continue to walk down this path until eternity.
Grim, I caught that too, but I just assumed that the Overbeing of Myth was revealed, since he's asking about whether (G/U) counts towards Sanity Grinding.
Q: Does the Ethersworn Canonist's ability apply even after it's destroyed? If a player throws a lethal Grapeshot at it, are they able to cast more non-artifact spells afterwards?
Lol, Grapeshot to kill Ethersworn Canonist... It struck me as kind of a weird choice of removal spell among all other possible ones for an example here, as it's somewhat harder to make it happen than with other removal spells. It sure can happen though, if for example the Canonist blocked a 1/1 earlier in the turn. But if by "lethal Grapeshot" you mean Grapeshot and/or some storm copies of Grapeshot, the only way it could happen is if the first spell(s) casted that turn were artifact. I could easily envision a situation involving Lotus Bloom getting unsuspended, though, which is probably what the person asking had in mind, in a likely situation of a storm deck Vs Canonist.
I'm a former judge (lapsed), who keeps up to date on rules and policy. Keep in mind that judges' answers aren't necessarily more valid than those of people who aren't judges; what matters is we can quote the rules to back up our answers. When in doubt, ask for such quotes.

Clearly the player with grapeshot is playing Dragonstorm, and his Lotus Bloom came off suspend this upkeep

We usually fix questions that don't make sense when we paste them into the article; this one slipped past. Luckily it has no bearing on the actual rules question involved.

But seriously, if you can't remember "Woapalanne", just call me Eli.
It doesn't "stop storm"... it just makes it really hard for you to get a good storm count.
They weren't saying it stopped the storm of Grapeshot. He was merely pointing out that it was kind of an odd choice of an example over something like... you know, Shock. haha
