MTG Salvation

Yes, it triggers. Upon turning the card face-up, it has a triggered ability that cares about this event, so it triggers. (603.10)

The Release Notes for OTJ (found at this link: https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/feature/outlaws-of-thunder-junction-release-notes) say that at least one additional cost must be chosen to cast the spell.

Spree spells are modal spells and the lines given are modes. You must choose at least one mode of a modal spell as part of casting it.

When you sacrifice a creature that is both black and green, it triggers (not: activates) both abilities. When you would next receive priority, you put those abilities onto the Stack in the order of your choice.

With Asmodeus and Abundance, if you would draw a card, two replacement effects want to replace that draw. For each one card you would draw, you apply either effect to arrive at a different event - either exiling the card to Asmodeus, or doing Abundance's sorta filter thing. If you activate Asmodeus' ability to draw seven cards, then you make that choice one time, take the replaced event, and then make another choice and take that replaced event and so on five more times.

The appearance of the permanent owing to its face-down status is an effect that applies in a layer after the copy effects layer. For this reason, making a face-down object copy something else will not change its present values, but it is considered to change the abilities that the card would have "if it were face-up", which matters when trying to use morph to turn it face up.


Your Skinthinner is a copy of Shivan Dragon and face down, which means it is still 2/2 and nameless, but its upper face is Shivan Dragon if the face-down status ever changes. Since Shivan Dragon does not have morph you can't use morph to turn the Skinthinner face up.

So long as Infinite Reflection stays on the Shivan Dragon, other creatures you cast with morph will also work like this. They still enter as nameless 2/2 creatures, and they do not have a morph ability to turn them face up. That's also true for Gift of Doom. You can't use morph to turn it face up because the face-up side of that permanent is a Shivan Dragon, which doesn't have morph (and doesn't have Gift of Doom's attach ability).

Quote from Flisch »

Tokens have a name. It is usually the name of its type. So a saproling token has "Saproling" as a name.

It can't be blocked by face-down creatures however.

I wasn't assuming tokens, hence why I stated "IF". Please don't make dense, oafish, mouth-breather assumptions like that.

Then that can also include morphs or anything else face down.

You were wrong about what the text meant. Its intended mechanism does not fall within either of your "if"s. These people were straightening you out without judgment or vitriol and you chose violence.

If you control five creatures (including Chancellor of the Forge and Hero of Lavabrink), and then resolve Orthion's ability on a Chancellor, then you create five tokens and get five triggered abilities. Those abilities will count the creatures you control when they resolve, so it includes the creature tokens you have at that time. The abilities resolve separately, so first ten tokens are made, then twenty, then forty, then eighty, then a hundred sixty. That's 310 Phyrexian Goblin tokens and the five Chancellor of the Forge tokens.

Akoum Battlesinger only mentions Ally creatures. There's no interaction, do you have the right card?

The equip ability on an Equipment can only be activated with sorcery timing - when the Stack is empty. You can't equip the Flail to the Sparkmage in time for the damage because the ability that makes it deal the damage is on the Stack. If you could attach the Equipment to the creature by means of some other spell or ability, it is possible, but not with Equip.
Expanding on why you can't use equip: You can't equip the Sparkmage in time because, before the Sparkmage is on the battlefield, you can't attach anything to it, and after it is on the battlefield, its ability is on the Stack, disallowing equip activations, or the ability has already resolved, and it's too late.

You refer to the equip ability as a mana ability, but this is wrong. Equip is an activated ability that also specifies an activation restriction. That it costs mana to activate does not sort it into any meaningful category. The term 'mana ability' means abilities that could produce mana (and satisfy other requirements).

Bladebrand can be cast in response to the Sparkmage triggered ability, so that would work to make the damage lethal.

To trigger only once means it can't trigger more than once. Can't beats can, so those trigger-adding effects are not able to change those abilities.

The Mirrormade card you played is not, itself, a double-faced card. Since it's not a transforming double-faced card, it cannot transform, and if you would move it onto the battlefield transformed, it does not move. (CR712.14a) So for that last chapter ability, the Mirrormade just exiles itself.

The token, in no instance, can return to the battlefield once it leaves. Tokens simply don't do that. (CR111.8)

Hi everybody !!

------------------------------
GAMEPACK INSTALLATION
------------------------------

For the moment, only Magic the Gathering is available.

1. MTG GamePack is available at:
- Up to LCI - The Lost Caverns of Ixalan: http://www.mediafire.com/?ksapcl1gv7g54



- Token Pics (fullscan, named by ID, including some non-official tokens): http://www.mediafire.com/?ksapcl1gv7g54

------------------------------
CARD SCANS AND THEMES
------------------------------

By default, the theme loaded when the software starts is located in the './data/pics' folder. If you want another theme to be displayed (a theme specifically adapted to the selected CCG for example), you must choose it manually in the 'Options' menu, section 'Graphics', and you browse the folder which contains all the images for the theme. Some additional themes are usually available with GamePack, and can be found in the './games/Game_Name/data/pics', where Game_Name is the name of the selected CCG.

By default, scans are supposed to be stored in the './games/Game_Name/pics' folder. You have the opportunity to choose your own storage folder in the 'Options' menu, section 'Card scans' (It may be the case if you collect the HQ scans from slightlymagic for example). No card scans are joined with any GamePacks. Many image formats and options are available in the 'Options' menu, section 'Card scans'. HQ scans from Slightlymagic of scans from Cockatrice are supported by The Vault, provided that you correctly configure the options (format, cropping etc.)

https://scryfall.com/search?q=(oracle:" her " or oracle:" him ")&unique=cards&as=grid&order=name

Scryfall search for all cards that use the words "her" or "him". There's only 18 at present and they're all referring to planeswalkers.

They only refer to planeswalkers with gendered pronouns, legendary creatures always used it when referring to themselves. I believe its due to non-legendary creatures using it and them trying to keep it consistent with creature cards.

Your question has no clear answer under the comprehensive rules. Indeed, as to whether cards "put into a graveyard" are put on top of that graveyard by default, compare C.R. 404.1 (graveyard) with C.R. 405.2 (stack), and see also this thread, relating to the library.

In any case, although there are cards that care about the order of cards in a graveyard, the number of cards in that category is small. And in practice, in an unsanctioned casual game, if the players in the game agree to forbid such cards from appearing in the game, then the game would not be affected by players reordering their graveyards.

Quote from Rosy Dumplings »

Wait a minute… if the big stone in the middle is the main powerstone that broke in half, the stone to the right is the weak stone, and the stone to the left is the mightstone… what is that stone floating up in the middle?

"One thing we never previously told you about the Brothers' War...Gix got ahold of a third powerstone piece."

If Teferi gets embroiled in things and ends up grabbing a third powerstone piece, I’m going to lose my cool and start laughing like a madman… more than normal, I mean.

Also, I am dubbing the third piece “The Midstone”

• Shanna, Purifying Blade
  
• Pristine Talisman

I control both cards have gained no other amount of life earlier in the turn. My End Step begins and Shanna's Ability is placed on the stack, I get priority before it resolves, I tap my Pristine Talisman for a and 1 life, I then pass to resolve the ability. The ability begins to resolve and I'm asked to pay into . I pay the mana generated by the talisman easily enough.

However, for the sake of understanding the rules of the game. If I wait for the ability to begin resolving and activate the Pristine Talisman during cost payment, does the ability acknowledge that life was gained and increase the allowance for or is that restriction set as soon as the ability begins resolution and does not increase during the actual payment?

If the first player proposes a shortcut that the second player knows has a possibility of not working due to hidden information they do not want to reveal then they should call a judge and explain the situation to the judge and the judge will inform the first player that the loop must be done manually due to hidden information while not explaining that hidden information.

Quote from peteroupc »

Just as an aside, it's the same principle that arguably allows triggered abilities of the form "Whenever you sacrifice..." (e.g., Savra, Queen of the Golgari) to trigger more than once due to Teysa Karlov (or not to trigger due to Hushbringer), because sacrificing a creature includes putting that creature into the graveyard (C.R. 701.17a).

Actually:

10/4/2019 An ability that triggers on an event that causes a creature to die will still trigger. For example, an ability that triggers “whenever you sacrifice a creature” still triggers.

This card's rulings are all over the place. Either the card cares about the trigger condition or it cares about the result of the event. It can't have it both ways based on the case by case whim of Wizard's R&D/Rules Management.

The ruling on Hushbring is consistent with the ruling on Teysa

Teysa - An ability that triggers on an event that causes a creature to die doesn’t trigger twice. For example, an ability that triggers “whenever you sacrifice a creature” triggers only once.

Hushbringer - An ability that triggers on an event that causes a creature to die will still trigger. For example, an ability that triggers “whenever you sacrifice a creature” still triggers.

Neither care about the event "a creature was sacrificed".

I cast Opportunistic Dragon. Which gain control of my opponent's Bronze Bombshell.
Does Bronze Bombshell trigger?

I guess yes, since gaining control is one event, losing all abilities is another event.
