    posted a message on Ishkanah questions
    Yes to both.

    1. Your opponent has two openings to activate ooze and take away delirium.
    First is after Ishkanah is cast, while it is still a spell on the stack. When the spider resolves the trigger condition will not be true and there will be no trigger to create spiders.
    Second is after Ishkanah enters play and triggers, but before the trigger resolves. Delirium must be true both for the trigger to go off and also when the trigger resolves.

    2. Ishkanah and the 3 spiders created by the trigger are each a creature and they each will trigger Path to Discovery.

    posted a message on Yield Jailer Timing
    Because layers.

    Yixid's ability-removing effect and Snapcaster's ability-adding effect are both applied in layer 6. Since they are in the same layer, they are applied in time-stamp order. Abilities inherent to the card are first removed by jailer then, with jailer already in play, snapcaster adds an ability.

    If snapcaster was played first to give a card flashback and jailer came into play after, the ability would be removed.


    613.1. The values of an object’s characteristics are determined by starting with the actual object. For a card, that means the values of the characteristics printed on that card. For a token or a copy of a spell or card, that means the values of the characteristics defined by the effect that created it. Then all applicable continuous effects are applied in a series of layers in the following order:

    613.1a Layer 1: Copy effects are applied. See rule 706, “Copying Objects.”

    613.1b Layer 2: Control-changing effects are applied.

    613.1c Layer 3: Text-changing effects are applied. See rule 612, “Text-Changing Effects.”

    613.1d Layer 4: Type-changing effects are applied. These include effects that change an object’s card type, subtype, and/or supertype.

    613.1e Layer 5: Color-changing effects are applied.

    613.1f Layer 6: Ability-adding effects, ability-removing effects, and effects that say an object can’t have an ability are applied.

    613.1g Layer 7: Power- and/or toughness-changing effects are applied.

    posted a message on Responding to prowess trigger
    yes. The prowess trigger goes on the stack above the ponder. You get priority to act before the prowess trigger resolves and also after it resolves before ponder resolves.

    posted a message on [[Official]] Legacy Ban List Discussion Thread (Read OP before Posting)
    I play Deadguy until now with two Top. I'm not super bummed. I'm going to try one or two more Smuggler's Copter to fill the selection roll. I'm mostly more excited for all the everything to come out of the woodwork and how the existing meta decks turn to attack each other now that Miracles is gone (is it?).

    Condolences to the bereaved.

    posted a message on Stack Resolution: Does ownership of the trigger matter?
    Active player(who's turn it is) puts all their triggers on the stack first in order they chose. Then non-active player does the same. The triggers of the person whos turn it is will resolve last.

    603.3b If multiple abilities have triggered since the last time a player received priority, each player, in APNAP order, puts triggered abilities he or she controls on the stack in any order he or she chooses. (See rule 101.4.) Then the game once again checks for and resolves state-based actions until none are performed, then abilities that triggered during this process go on the stack. This process repeats until no new state-based actions are performed and no abilities trigger. Then the appropriate player gets priority.

    101.4. If multiple players would make choices and/or take actions at the same time, the active player (the player whose turn it is) makes any choices required, then the next player in turn order (usually the player seated to the active player’s left) makes any choices required, followed by the remaining nonactive players in turn order. Then the actions happen simultaneously. This rule is often referred to as the “Active Player, Nonactive Player (APNAP) order” rule.

    posted a message on No Reserved List Legacy (MTGGoldfish Article)
    I'm in the "that's what modern is for" camp. Why pull the rug out from underneath an exiting and loved format when "no reserved list Legacy" is perfectly achievable by, you know, reprinting cards and adding them to the modern?
