This thread is for the discussion of my latest article, Cranial Insertion - Planechase 2.0. We would be grateful if you would let us know what you think, but please keep your comments on topic.
We're playing Planechase with Commander (the best way to play it), and Bant gave my Skullbriar, the Walking Grave a divinity counter. It went to the graveyard due to an All is Dust, but if I bring it back onto the battlefield later, will it still be indestructible?
A: Nope! It'll still have the divinity counter on it, if that matters to you for some other reason, but it won't be indestructible. Bant's ability makes the creature indestructible and puts a divinity counter on it; it's not indestructible because it has a divinity counter on it, as divinity counters themselves don't carry any rules significance. When it reenters the battlefield, it does so as a new object with no memory of the ability that made that counter appear on the card.
If the following above occurs, and then That Which Was Taken is put onto the battlefield, will it be indestructible?
Q: I have Mesmeric Orb and Mortal Combat out, but only nineteen creature cards in my graveyard. If I untap at the start of my turn and mill another creature card, will I win the game?
A: Since no player gets priority during the untap step, anything that triggers during that step won't go onto the stack until the first time a player would get priority, which is the beginning of your upkeep. By the time those triggers resolve and you hopefully mill at least one more creature card, it's past the time Mortal Combat would have triggered.
Alternate question on same topic. Say i've got the alchemist and Orb on the board, With 5 cards in my library, when i untap, the 5 lands i have i then immediately win due to the alchemist, correct?

He means Laboratory Maniac. You would have to survive the rest of the upkeep step but yes if you are milled to an empty library by Mesmeric orb, Laboratory Maniac will make you win the game when you come to your draw step and you attempt to draw your card for the turn.

Hey there. I have a question based off of one of the questions in this article. Someone asked about their DCI number here (which seemed a little irrelevant to me) but brought up a similar question.
Before they stopped major prereleases in my area, Wizards would ship out these really cool looking DCI cards with your name and number on it. However I found out that with the halt of these events and also mail promotions, that these cards are not being made anymore. This makes me a little sad because my name has changed and I would love to get a replacement card with my new name on it. Does anyone know if there is any way of getting a new one or if I should just hang onto my old one.
Once again, I hope it's okay that I post this here. If not, I'm sorry and I'll be sure to be more careful in the future
