Can someone please define everything that that yixilid jailer actually stops? I'm not exactly sure what graveyard abilities are, so, like, dredge, flashback..? What else?
Dredge, flashback, recover, Bridge from Below, Firemane Angel (both the return and the lifegain). Basically anything that works in the graveyard. A comprehensive list would be rather large.
Assume I had some card out that says "As an additional cost to play a spell, sacrifice a creature", and something comes unsuspended when I had a creature in play. I would have to sacrifice the creature, and not have the choice to not pay the additional cost, correct?
If i have teferi in play, and i have eye of the storm in play, all my opponent's instants and soceries are coutnered, right?
"Countered" in as much as they're put on the Eye, but your opponent can't play them because Teferi is in play (because you can't play sorceries during the resolution of an ability).
Someone will come along with more detail I'm sure.
1. If my opponent casts wildfire with a suspended greater gargadon in play, passes priority, and then I pass priority back, does he still have a chance to sac whatever permanents to the gargadon? Or is it too late and the spell has started to resolve?
That would be too late. All players have passed priority in succession, so the top spell of the stack will begin resolving. He'd have to cast it, and before passing priority start sac'ing to the Gargadon.
"File corrupt" means that some bytes in the file have become garbled (bits flipped, etc.) and that the computer no longer can read it as a file of the proper type. It does not (generally) imply a virus.
Does Choosing an opponet as a card comes into play, per Stuffy Doll's Ability, target that opponet? And if an opponet is chosen by Stuffy Doll, whenever damage is delt to it, does it get around Ivory Mask's ability and deal damage to the opponet?
Unless it says the word "target" on the card or in the rules, it doesn't target.
You can choose a player with Ivory Mask in play. He will take damage when Stuffy does.
It is possible to make a spell target itself (if it can). You can shunt a counterspell back at itself, but not a shock at itself (since shock can only target a creature or player where as counterspell targets a spell).
(bolded for clarity)
There's a specific rule stating that a spell cannot target itself. Shunting a Counterspell effectively counters it because you direct the counter at the Shunt. The Shunt resolves, changes the Counterspell target to itself, then gets put in the graveyard. The counter now has no target, and is countered by the rules on resolution.
Pomona CA, with my brother.
@ Vestdan, last time there was like 4-5 guys with vests, what does yours look like?
Just wanted to make sure you know the September preres aren't in Pomona (the LA county fair sorta gets in the way). The SoCal one is in Long Beach this time around (check Aztlan's or Wizard's website).
I've never sent them cards, but when buying, they're excellent.
Sorry to hear about your bad experience, but they have been quality in the past, and hopefully it works out in the near future.

Concur with jarsyl.
EDIT: as spoiled by Inquest moments before I got the clue ;_;

Haven't used it myself, but Rich Hoaen uses it to really good effect on SCG.

Happy poking

Just in case it ever mattered
