so my friend and i have a bit of a disagreement on when i can play a land. here is what is on the board.
i have a Courser of Kruphix and a non-land card on top of my library. My opponent has Phenax, God of Deception and a couple of defenders with combined 8 toughness that he can tap to make me mill me.
i pass priority he pass priority and Psychic Strike resolves and i mill two cards and then the next card to end up on top is a Forest
So now i have priority and i haven't played a land this turn i go to play the Forest card on top on my library.
here is the disagreement.
He says he can mill me before i play the land with the defenders he has because of Phenax, God of Deception and i'm saying he can't because playing a land is a special action according to
305.1. A player who has priority may play a land card from his or her hand during a main phase of his or her turn when the stack is empty. Playing a land is a special action; it doesn't use the stack (see rule 115). Rather, the player simply puts the land onto the battlefield. Since the land doesn't go on the stack, it is never a spell, and players can't respond to it with instants or activated abilities.
I'm pretty certain i am correct but I if i'm not please let me know.
I'm gonna have to say this sounds good, but in the forms of how you get mana I'm still confused, how long is a turn. because lets say i want to cast fireball in the middle of combat and we are somewhere where there is fire so i can pull at least a red from it, and i want to deal 3 dmg to lets say a raging goblin that has a shield for some reason giving it a +0/+1, would it take me 4 turns to pull that off? and when you cast a card where does it go what happens. also what happens when you "deck" yourself. i feel like this has some real potential here and I am very interested in this if you continue to expand on this idea. i love rpg games like D&D and a few others and to combine the two games types i love would be amazing. in some way i wish wizards could come up with something like this on their own but that might never happen. so it's up to people like you to help pave the way for game types like this
first off the reason i don't have invigorate is because my play group goes by the MTGO ban list for paper pauper. with that said I'm wondering what you all think about this deck, I'm open to suggestions
so for my ETB questions it has to do with how evolve works with Simic Manipulator and Simic Manipulator ability. so lets say he has 3 +1/+1 counters on him and then you use his ability and take all 3 counter off and take control of a 3/3 creature. when that creature come on your side of the field would that trigger his evolve?
second question is how would Grave Pact and Attrition interact. would i be able to get my opponent to loose 1 or 2 creatures?
So lets say we have a Dark Impostor out on the field and my opponent has his commander out Trostani, Selesnya's Voice. I choose to Exile his Trostani with my Dark Impostor. Would my Dark Impostor gain Trostani's Populate Ability even if my opponent chooses to put the card back in the commander zone?
Thanks
so all of this helps, but this seems to be dodging what I'm trying to ask.
lets just say that its the main phase of my turn and I'm just sitting there thinking about what i want t do.
my opponent then casts a kill spell on one of my creatures, does that work?
what I'm trying to get at is the that both the destroy ability and the scroll ability resolves then before i have done anything else he cast another destroy spell on the Platinum Angle
i have a Courser of Kruphix and a non-land card on top of my library. My opponent has Phenax, God of Deception and a couple of defenders with combined 8 toughness that he can tap to make me mill me.
Now i go to cast Aqueous Form and my opponent casts Psychic Strike.
i pass priority he pass priority and Psychic Strike resolves and i mill two cards and then the next card to end up on top is a Forest
So now i have priority and i haven't played a land this turn i go to play the Forest card on top on my library.
here is the disagreement.

I'm open to all comments or suggestions. thanks and hope you enjoy!

Thanks!
now if my opponent has a Narcotic Ooze, does it get the tap ability for G[MANA]g[/MANA] or just G
and if we are playing commander and my opponent is playing mono black, does that only tap for colourless
Thanks
lets just say that its the main phase of my turn and I'm just sitting there thinking about what i want t do.
my opponent then casts a kill spell on one of my creatures, does that work?
