MTG Salvation

Oh okay so that functions differently then him seeing everyone else who dies during a wrath of god or something, thanks for clarifying.

so at Two headed giant my partner had Kothophed, Soul Hoarder down and I had enchanted it with my Infectious Bloodlust, our opponents used Disperse on him, does his trigger proc on seeing the enchant on himself go to the yard? I know if they had killed him he would see it, so in my mind he should see it in this case too, but wanted to post here and double check how that interacts.

in a multiplayer game with Range of influence = 1 and players B and C are inside of A's range, D is outside of A's range, 4 players total. so turn order A, B, D, C

Council's Judgment is cast by player A.

B must vote for one of their own permanents because C is outside of B's roi and D is outside A's (and same deal for C)
D does not get a vote.

based on comp rule:

801.5a If a player is asked to choose an object or player, he or she must choose one within his or her range of influence.

Is this correct? Still a bit iffy on how Roi works sometimes so wanted to double check.

Ink-Treader Nephilim gets targeted by both parts of Acolyte's Reward.

As I understand copy effects:
This will trigger because Ink is the only thing being targetted.

Every copy of acolyte's reward will target and prevent damage equal to the devotion to white of Acolyte's caster.

This is the part I'm not 100% sure about: Acolyte's second target (where damage is being moved to) will either:
A)Target inktreader as ink's copy effect only changes the first target of the spell
B)Each creature will take any damage that prevented by the acolyte's reward that targetted it.

If it is B:

Say devotion to white for acolyte's reward is 5.
Someone casts lightning bolt targeting ink.
Lighting bolt deals 3 damage to all valid targets, Acolyte prevents it and deals that damage to the same creature, prevents 2 of it and deals that damage to the creature (end result 3 damage to all creatures)

Okay thank you both, we played it the wrong way then and now I feel pretty bad since that was a pretty game ending turn.

In a 3v3 emperor game with the emps having range of influence 2, and generals having RoI 1:

Seating: (2 and B are emps)

123

ABC

Emperor 2 casts Unsummon targetting A's Deathcult Rogue. Can A Negate the unsummon?

I feel like the answer is no, because Emperor 2 is outside the RoI of General A, but I'm not sure.

I tap Rubinia Soulsinger to take control of my opponent's creature.

In respose, he casts Turn to frog

Does this prevent the control? Or Does the control still go through since I still control Rubinia and her ability was already activated?

Precursor Golem Causes a new uncanny speed to be created and targetted on each other golem.

So yes.

By targetting the agent his trigger goes on the stack, and by "eating" so to speak the lightning strike he won't be killed, so this works as you would want.

With Cipher you cast the copy and are allowed to exile it to the nivmagus.

from Open the Vaults Gatherer page:

An Aura put onto the battlefield this way can't enchant an artifact or enchantment that's also being put onto the battlefield with Open the Vaults.

So that would be a negatory.

Edit:

and from the Phantasmal Image's gatherer page:

If Phantasmal Image somehow enters the battlefield at the same time as another creature, Phantasmal Image can't become a copy of that creature. You may only choose a creature that's already on the battlefield.

I cast silence in response to the last counter being removed from a suspended card like rift bolt, does this prevent the suspended card being cast and therefore leaving it exiled forever?

I'm fairly certain this is the way it would work (so long as silence was cast in response to the remove counter trigger) but wanted to double-check.

If the target creature leaves the battlefield after you cast a card with bestow as an Aura but before the spell resolves, the Aura spell will resolve as an enchantment creature rather than being countered like a normal Aura spell. If the target creature is still on the battlefield when the Aura spell resolves, it resolves as an Aura enchanting that creature.

I imagine Wizard's official mechanics article answers this question thoroughly, and we'll see how it's added into the comp. rules in a week or two.

Ought to be castable using bestow under gaddock, based on my understanding.

Cavern Lampad (http://media-dominaria.cursecdn.com/attachments/111/923/635201278062506443.jpg) however would not.

Strictly speaking with rules the CMC is the number printed on the top-right of the card, not whatever you paid to cast it.

But take everything about spoiled cards with a grain of salt until the FAQ is released.

Addendum:

Mechanics preview:

If you cast a bestow card for its bestow cost, it's never a creature spell. Instead, it's an Aura spell with enchant creature, so you have to target a creature to cast it. If that creature has a heroic ability, this will trigger it, just as any other Aura spell would.

Okay, I see. I was confused because of the different interaction with sacrificing etc. (And I understood exiling another's creature it's just that this had a similar wording to forced sacrifice.)

Thanks everyone.

(And now I have a sadness, because that would have been fun in EDH)
