The text on the flip side of Nezumi Shortfang is confusing me a bit, does Stabwhisker the Odious have life loss happen for each card in the hand but stops life loss when they have 3 cards, like for example they have 2 cards in their hand so they lose 2 life and no damage at 3 cards in their hand, or does it cause life loss for each card missing from their hand under 3 cards, for example 0 cards in their hand meaning 3 damage and having 3 or more meaning no damage.
Are any of these a correct assumption of his ability?
What I meant by the pseudo targeting is that if I have to select the creature to be tapped in order to get the mana it's sorta of like targeting, but I understand what you're saying thanks for being clear on this matter.
Does a card like Phantasmal Bear sacrifices itself if it is "targeted" by the last ability of Grand Architect to add mana or does it stay because the card does not say the word target.
From what I know that if a creature card has indestructible, it can't die to destruction effect's like Doom Blade and lethal damage, but can something like Darksteel Myr for example be removed by source damage like Shock?
I'd like see to Sarkhan, not for the sake of Dragons or the like, but mostly because that story wise we need SOMEONE connected to Nicol Bolas on Innistrad, since we used Tezzeret already, that just leaves him.
When it's my Upkeep and Sheoldred, Whispering One ability activates and I choose to bring back something like Molten-Tail Masticore who's has to pay it's cost during the upkeep normally, do I still have to pay it's discard cost or has the timing to pay it passed and I still keep the Masticore.
I haven't read any of the Magic Books, though I wanted to start from the "Shards of Alara" book then go up the cycle. I always thought that Magic Lore came directly from a finished book they made, this theory of mine does seem true anymore from what I've read on the forums. So is lore something they just make on the spot?

Does Phantasmal Image when it's on the battlefield after copying the Spined Wurm have it's CMC changed as well to Five?
