I have a few questions based on a Tezzeret the Seeker deck I am learning. This is my first stab at learing extended, and I have only played Standard for a few months now. Another words please pardon my stupid questions.
1. Chalice of the Void is set to 1. If I play Engineered Explosives for 1 does the Chalice's ability cancel the explosives, or does the Sunburst ability trigger afterwards?
4. If I use Tezzeret the Seeker to fetch a Chalice of the Void or an Engineered Explosives am I able to pay into any of their abilites and does Tezeret lose any counters in the process? Could I have Tezzeret lose 6 counters and set a Chalice to 3?
last question for now.
5. If I have a Chalice of the Void in play and set to 3, can I use Tezzeret the Seeker to put any artifact with a casting cost of 3 into play without being cancelled?
1. Sunburst isn't triggered and X is part of the manacosts so if you choose X = 1, chalice triggeres and counters EE. But note that the value of X isn't necessary the number of counters put on EE in the end. Chalice only cares if X was 1 not if the number of different colors was 1 2. Yes, a land has cmc=0 which is <= 1
3. Yes, see 2
4. No, X in manacosts is only defined on the stack. Everywhere else it's considered 0 so for -0 you get a chalice/EE but you can't choose X because you aren't playing the spell. The artifact will always come into play with 0 counters. You could pay more loayality counters but you would always get 0 counters
5. Yes it's not a spell but an ability
Wow, thank you for answering this question. I have wondered about this for quite sometime. So, do only those artifact lands have a converted mana cost of 0, or do all lands?

2. Is Trinket Mage able to fetch an Artifact land such as a Great Furnace?
3. Is Tezzeret the Seeker able to fetch an Artifact land such as Great Furnace, and not lose any of his loyality counters?
