so im testing for a deck and i have out Jace's sanctum when i cast an instant or sorcery that lets me draw like Brainstorm if i play it correctly i will scry 1 before i get to draw any cards or any effect from a spell would take place?
Ok so im looking at building a deck around heartless summoning, multiple myr retrievers and in my serach for an artifact tutor i see Mishra, Artificer Prodigy. i know from prior experience that if i cast an artifact and it gets countered you can search your graveyard and find the countered copy of the spell depending on how you resolve abilities irrc, so my question is if i have out heartless summoning cast really any artifact creature with 1 toughness can i chose to search my graveyard and find the dead creature? for the sake of my own sanity as well as anyone i torture with this deck should i make it what would be the best way to make it simple as to what is happening as well, should this be a working combo
quick edit by using the classic RTFC i can see its not infinite as i initially thought but actually creates a new issue simply if i cast the retriever it dies and i can grab it from the graveyard with the original trigger on the stack can i use the first instance to grab it after it dies the second time being a new entity which would potentially be infinte?
I vaguely remember jund playing ancestral vision sorry in advance if my tags don't work I'm on mobile don't see the tag buttons and I haven't used forums in prob a few years now, anyways I recall ancestral vision being used with bloodbraid elf and I'm trying to iron out a list finding older decks that did it is difficult being from at least 5 years ago when elves were banned and ancestral was banned before that and even looking at jund lists from 5 years just look like old clunky standard lists compared to what we have now. I figure some card draw with a 3/2 haste isn't bad but I'm just kinda curious if it's worth trying to find a couple spots to do it.
So with bloodbraid elf unbanned, sorry I don't see anything to tag cards, and I cascade into reckless bushwacker can I cast out for it's surge cost? It initially cost 3 so it is a legal cascade target but it also doesn't do much if it isn't surged. I know you can pay additional costs like a kicker but I'm not sure about alternative costs
Pretty sure this works but just wasnted to make sure, i cast enduring ideal and i grab Metallurgic Summonings when i go into my turn assuming i keep the Metallurgic Summonings when i cast enduring ideal for its epic cost i will get a 7/7 construct?
If i were to activate Horde of Notions, which does say cast and requires all 5 colrs to do so, would targeting Woodland Wanderer count as being cast for WURBG and enter as a 5/5?
EDIT decieded to RTFC and i now see that it says without paying its cost guesssing it would just die?
If I cast a creature and equip Spy kit can I activate Twinning glass and cheat something like blightsteel colossus into play even if it wasn't what I actually cast but it would have the same name?
Also sorry for the poor formatting I'm on my phone
So if 2 players are playing or only ones left in a game, if I goad my opponents creature it has to attack if able, let's say it can, and it attacks another player if able if I'm the only other player I will get attacked by that creature because there is no other player it can attack, it would it just not be able to attack bc it can't attack another player? Or if there was 3 players 1 goad opponent a and opponent b has a ghostly prison and decides not to pay 2 would it not attack at all or would it attack me?
Thanks for the reply i kinda felt like i had a pretty well put together sb. used a lot of mtgtop8 lists and kinda made an averaged out sb. Guess ill just have to wait and see
other than giving counters when they die Steel Overseer is kinda similiar and if everything else all ready has an instance of modular hes an all star giving an extra counter to other robots who will later give them elsewhere
