Assuming you controlled no other creatures before the Rig dies, no. Seclusion says "As long as you control exactly one creature..."; but when the trigger for the Rig occurs, it is already in the graveyard, and so it is no longer a creature you control.
Edit: Nevermind. I forgot about the Last Known Information thing...just goes to show I shouldn't post on MTGS first thing in the morning. >_< Sorry.
I decided upon coming as Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz, because it was simple enough to do (dark green cargo pants, black turtle neck and shoes, lab coat); and it also gave me another excuse to wear my awesome lab coat Too bad I didn't have a Perry plushie to carry around with me or similar...
In a format of singletons, tutor abilities are almost always useful to help make your deck more consistent. Just make sure you have enough potential uses for it.
For example, I played Pillar of Flame. Then the Pillar of Flame goes to stack. The "Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell, Blistercoil Weird gets +1/+1 until end of turn. Untap it." effect will trigger and will go to the stack. Then I will copy the Pillar of Flame via Dual Casting. The copy then will go to the stack. Then I will let triggered ability of the Blistercoil Weird resolve for it to untap. Then I will copy the original Pillar of Flame. With this, I have an original Pillar of Flame and its two copies on the stack and let them resolve. The Blistercoil Weird will no longer untap unless I cast another spell.
Is that possible?
Yes, that works just as you stated. Players get priority between each thing resolving on the stack, so you could create the copy, then resolve the Blistercoil's trigger, and create another copy.
Buyback is an additional optional cost. You would still need to pay that each time you cast it (unless you had something like Memory Crystal reducing that cost). In a similar way, you would still need to sacrifice a land to cast Harrow without paying its mana cost, and so on. The mana cost is simply the symbols in the top right corner of the card. Anything else still needs to be paid for.
Well, if you're going to get rid of most of your deck anyway, there's always Shelldock Isle + Emrakul, the Aeons Torn. Not clever or original, but it gets the job done.
It wouldn't work because the Blistercoil Weird's ability triggers on casting an instant or sorcery, and copies of spells are simply created on the stack, not cast (except under very particular effects, such as that of Isochron Scepter).
Never had a first kiss and, at 24, never had sex. Probably never will lol.
Same for me, except a couple of years older. So many of my friends and colleagues are in happy relationships; but (at least for now), I'm quite content single.
Last year I went a little crazy. I found some cheap ninja garb, and so my costume was that, covered with a lab coat, two huge foam swords at my hips, and chemical safety goggles/gloves. I was a weird Dr. Horrible of sorts.
This year, it really depends on what I can scrounge up within the next few weeks, costume-wise. If nothing else, my "default" costume is V (from the V for Vendetta series. It's fairly easy - mostly stereotypcal ninja garb, with a full head-covering cowl, long wig, Guy Fawkes mask, black fedora, and plastic daggers (the one part of my costume I'm not allowed to use on campus).
I'm thinking of going as a Weeping Angel (if I can find a dress and lots of grey body paint, haha); or perhaps Dexter Morgan (I've already got the khaki pants, gloves, and apron...I'd just need the shirt).
Undying doesn't care about how many +1/+1 counters it had when it died, only that it did have at least one. (Even the reminder text states, "When this creature dies, if it had no +1/+1 counters on it, return it to the battlefield under its owner's control with a +1/+1 counter on it.")
Or if you can get some Omniscience and Jace, Architect of Thought, you can abuse Tamiyo's emblem and Omniscience together to repeatedly cast and use Jace's ulti to cast everything from every player's library for free. Not exactly a competitive combo, but it'd be fun to get off. (I'm trying to build a deck list around these four at the moment.)
Because the attacking creature has trample and there is now no creature blocking it, your opponent can opt to assign all the damage straight to you. That's twice 4, or 8, points of damage.
The size of the set is not infinite, it approaches infinity in the same manner that the values just before an asymtote approach but never attain infinity. I can keep counting "1,2,3,4,5", but I never say "6,7,infinity" do I? That's because infinity isn't a real number you can count to, you say "6,7..." to mean that you keep counting indefinitely or -infinity<x<infinity. Notice how there's no greater than or equal to, just greater than, that's because you can't actually count to infinity. No variable can be infinity, go ask any math professor.
You're misunderstanding the concept of infinity. The set of natural numbers IS infinite in magnitude (specifically, Aleph-0, the smallest magnitude of infinity). Infinite is not a number, but when you say a set is infinite in size, that means for every element E of that set, there exists in that set an element L such that L > E. (That is, you can always find a number larger than any number in it.)

Yup!
Also, Sanguine Bond + Exquisite Blood is a great little two-card finisher, if a bit mana-intensive. (I have a mono-black lifegain deck focused around those plus Chalice of Life and Griselbrand. Quite fun.)

The ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. Pi is a real value. It is irrational and transcendental. But it is nonetheless real.
