Rezzahan posted a message on Gandalf of Secret Fire and BuybackBoth buyback and Gandalf's trigger are trying to replace the same event (the spell being put into the graveyard when it is finished resolving). As the controller of the affected object you get to decide which replacement effect to apply first. The other will then no longer be applicable, and your choice of replacement will be carried out.Posted in: Magic Rulings -

peteroupc posted a message on Are dead crewed vehicle still Creatures once in the graveyard ? (same turn it was crewed)No.Posted in: Magic Rulings
In general, when a permanent goes to the graveyard, it becomes a different object from the one that left (C.R. 400.7), so in this case in general, effects that applied to the Vehicle on the battlefield, such as the crew effect (C.R. 702.122a), don't apply to the card it becomes in the graveyard — even though the crew effect lasts "until end of turn".
Also, Resourceful Return can target only a "creature card [in] your graveyard" (C.R. 115.1a).
EDIT (Oct. 8, 2023): Edited, including because some rules were renumbered in the meantime.
EDIT (Oct. 9, 2023): Remove part of last sentence. -

Horseshoe_Hermit posted a message on "Triggers only once" vs. "Triggers an additional time"To trigger only once means it can't trigger more than once. Can't beats can, so those trigger-adding effects are not able to change those abilities.Posted in: Magic Rulings -

peteroupc posted a message on Which ability stacks first in a beginning of upkeep situation?If multiple triggered abilities would go on the stack at the same time, the active player (the player whose turn it is) puts those they control there in the order of their choice, and so on with the other players in turn order (C.R. 603.3b, 101.4).Posted in: Magic Rulings

Horseshoe_Hermit posted a message on Copies and tokens of sagasThe Mirrormade card you played is not, itself, a double-faced card. Since it's not a transforming double-faced card, it cannot transform, and if you would move it onto the battlefield transformed, it does not move. (CR712.14a) So for that last chapter ability, the Mirrormade just exiles itself.Posted in: Magic Rulings
The token, in no instance, can return to the battlefield once it leaves. Tokens simply don't do that. (CR111.8)

Rezzahan posted a message on Kaalia of the Vast and Angelic Guardian1) No. An attack trigger only goes off when the creature is declared as attacker during the declare attackers turn based action. Entering the battlefield attacking does not trigger such abilities, since the only check for that happens during the turn based action of declaring attackers.Posted in: Magic Rulings
2) When the Guardian's trigger resolves, the attacker will gain indestructible, yes. Note however, that there is a window, where the creature is attacking and does not yet have that ability, where "target attacking creature" spells and abilities can be used to remove it. Namely, that window is between you declaring the creature as attacker and the Guardian's trigger going on the stack, and the trigger of the Guardian resolving. -

Rezzahan posted a message on Righteous Valkyrie abilityRighteous Valkyrie will gain you life equal to the toughness of the Martyr at the time the Valkyries trigger resolves. In your scenario, this will be 3 life. If the Martyr leaves the battlefield before the trigger resolves, you get life equal to its toughness as it was when it last existed on the battlefield, so again 3 life. Your opponent can try to lower your life total in response to the trigger, and if you have only 26 life or less, the Martyr's toughness is 1 and you gain only 1 life. Also notre, that you can respond to that trigger yourself, and increase the Martyr's toughness further with stuff like Giant Growth and gain more life. Or gain life to reach that crucial 27 life to increase the Martyr's toughness to 3 and gain that sweet 3 life.Posted in: Magic Rulings
Note, that if you sacrifice the Martyr for its own ability to reach that 27 life for the Valkyrie, you only gain 1 life, as the Martyr's toughness at its last moment on the battlefield was only 1. -

TyranidBill posted a message on Mosswort BridgeNo, the reminder text on Mosswort Bridge states 'When THIS land enters the battlefield...', 'this' referring to the specific instance of Mosswort Bridge entering. Once you have bounced and replayed it, it counts as a new object. The card you exiled with the previous Mosswort Bridge remains face-down in exile, never to be seen again.Posted in: Magic Rulings -

peteroupc posted a message on Can I run Burnt Offering in a mono black edh deck? Or only cards with Extort like Crypt Ghast.Use the Oracle text of a card, not its printed text, to determine that card's wording (C.R. 108.1).Posted in: Magic Rulings
- Although Burnt Offering is black, Burnt Offering's Oracle text contains a red mana symbol in its "rules text" (C.R. 202.1, 207.1). Thus, Burnt Offering's color identity includes red and black (C.R. 108.1, 903.4; this is so even though the text of the card as printed in Ice Age has no red mana symbol) and so can't be included in a Commander deck whose commander's color identity is black only (C.R. 903.5c). (See also this thread.)
- Although Crypt Ghast is also black and contains (W/B) in its Oracle text's text box, Crypt Ghast contains no colored mana symbols other than black in its mana cost or "rules text" (reminder text is not rules text, and neither are extort's expanded rules [C.R. 207.1, 207.2, 207.2a; review C.R. 702.101a]), so its color identity is black only (C.R. 108.1, 202.1, 207.1, 903.4). Thus, Crypt Ghast, since it's not a card with a basic land type, can be included in a Commander deck whose commander's color identity is black only (C.R. 903.5c-d). (See also this thread and this thread.)

A token would enter without being cast

Its not. My group, and tons more, actually practice restraint. You should try playing at less than 100% efficiency.

People love EDH while virtually spitting in the face of the people who brought it to us. It's sad, and predictable

'Ugin is the nail in the coffin of Painter's Servant' sure does not sound borderline. I am all for 'hey we were wrong', but revisionist history seems uncool.

Infinite combo is not a pillar of EDH, it was fairly recently the RC started to unban combo pieces. The creators are speaking out about it negatively. The RC has always been in that general vicinity in regards to infinite combo.
Making out like this is some new twist is intellectually dishonest.

Combo isn't one of the pillars of EDH. There was a time when strong combo pieces were outright banned. People can make a lot of arguments in favor of combo, but that surely isn't one of them.
Again, the point of the post was about unknown groups (LGS, MagicFest, etc) and how those have deteriorated to such a degree. It has not always been like this. I had the absolute worst game of EDH I have ever played this last weekend at MagicFest Seattle.
And cards obviously are not designed to combo together, they banned it out of Standard recently. Yes many cards within the decades do so, and I honestly get why people play them: Some games need to end.
I think its socially lacking to pub stomp people because you know they are playing '75%' and likely wont be able to stop a combo with counter back-up.

People straight up straw-manning his stance is a sad thing on MTGS.
