Say i have a 1/1 creature out, for the sake of this example a 1/1 soldier token from elspeth, knight-errant. It can really be any creature, but for the sake of this example let's say it's a 1/1.
I declare this creature as a blocker of a creature with trample, for example a rhox war monk with a behemoth sledge attached. Then, before combat damage is dealt, i cast path to exile or any other instant speed removal on the token. Can the attacking player then just assign all the damage to me since his creature has trample? Or is the war monk considered completely "blocked"?
601.2. To cast a spell is to take it from the zone it's in (usually the hand), put it on the stack, and pay its costs, so that it will eventually resolve and have its effect.
702.53a Replicate is a keyword that represents two abilities. The first is a static ability that functions while the spell is on the stack. The second is a triggered ability that functions while the spell is on the stack. "Replicate [cost]" means "As an additional cost to cast this spell, you may pay [cost] any number of times" and "When you cast this spell, if a replicate cost was paid for it, copy it for each time its replicate cost was paid. If the spell has any targets, you may choose new targets for any number of the copies." Paying a spell's replicate cost follows the rules for paying additional costs in rules 601.2b and 601.2e-g.
Placing a copy of a spell on the stack is not the same as casting the spell and as such does not interact with things that care about spells being cast such as the dragonauts or storm.
Yeah, I've seen a couple people throw their own cards around (one guy I recall a while back threw his Armageddon across the room and walked out the store when I informed him that it was not actually in 10th edition like his friend had told him). I have never seen a player grab and toss their opponent's cards. I do not believe I would react calmly if that happened to me.
Well, it was a scepter of dominance which is a bargain bin 50 cent rare. If he had been tossing around the foil baneslayer i have in the same deck i probably would have ripped his face off.
If two or more copies of lorthos are on the battlefield at any given time they are both put into their owner's graveyard as a state based action. That, and your deck should have two more lands. And why are you running ornithopter?
Really? He actually threw a temper tantrum because you dropped a Scepter? Wow, the most annoying & childish player I know (a 16 year old who we thought was 12) doesn't throw tantrums for bad luck. If you repeatedly correct him on the same ruling (which he repeatedly gets wrong), he sulks, but no tantrums.
... I wonder what he'd think of my Ionamorph deck.
He didn't freak out immediately, i tapped his lands on his upkeep, he drew, realized he wouldn't be able to play anything, and freaked out. I wouldn't call it a tantrum though, more of a tirade.
It seems like Jund players get really worked up when they lose, as if they think they somehow deserve to win just because they netdecked the most common deck in the format.
For example, a couple weeks ago i was playing against sameoldjund.dec in the fourth round of a tournament. I was playing mono white control. We were both undefeated. Game one, he blightnings me twice. I don't complain at all, even though that's my most hated card ever.
I manage to keep board control with my superior removal, and when i manage to hit my seventh plains with emeria, the sky ruin, i get to bring back iona, shield of emeria, which i discarded blightning earlier. I name black, he tries to respond with a terminate, and i explain that it's a replacement ability that occurs as she enters the battlefield.
He calls the judge over, the judge confirms what i said, and he refuses to scoop into game two, claiming that he has a chance, even though he has one bloodbraid elf on the board, all the while complaining rather loudly that emeria is broken, iona is unfair, even though he went turn 3 blightning and the bloodbraid into blightning. I guess that's not unfair at all.
Game two, he gets stuck on 3 lands, and i keep tapping his only source of black with a scepter of dominance. Again, the complaining starts, and it only gets worse when i play a baneslayer angel and he is holding pulse, but no terminate. When i drop a second scepter, he goes and grabs my scepters and throws them on the floor. The judge then comes over to this ~30 something year old man, who is now crying in hysterics, and throws him out of the store.
