If I have Linvala, Keeper of Silence and Living Plane out at the same time, are opponents no longer able to tap their lands for mana? Does tapping for mana also count as an activated ability?
I don't believe Group Hug is about fun. It pretends to be while truly being about chaotic trolling of the table. The entire archetype is built on a lie.
Unless of course those playing find a table full of chaos to be fun. And there's nothing wrong with that.
The argument my opponent used though, was that the opportunity to pay the mana for the ability was triggered, while the actual payment of the mana was an activation of the land destruction.
Thank you guys. Just need a little more clarification:
If I choose the Knowledge Pool, then will Eye of the Storm trigger twice (assuming the spells going in and out of Knowledge Pool are both instants/sorceries)?
Does the Lightning Bolt become exiled with Eye of the Storm and set off that entire chain of spells, or does it go into the Knowledge Pool allowing me to bring something else out? They both say the spell gets exiled, so surely it can't do both. Would it be my choice as to which one takes the bolt, or does it depend on which of the two permanents came out most recently?

For example: could my opponent prevent my Numot, the Devastator from blowing up two of his lands using an Azorius Guildmage?
Oh wow you're right. Can't believe I've never noticed that before. I was running it in a RWU deck too and nobody has pointed that out to me...
