  • posted a message on Countering Damnation
    It's been said before me: discard, man-lands, and totems etc. all do good work you're looking for.
    Epochrasite has been my creature of choice versus Wrath-like effects. But versus Condemn and O-Ring, not so good.
    Pit Keeper and Gravedigger are good for some advantage after a wrath/damnation.
    Penumbra Spider(as well as the other Penumbra creatures, no others in Standard though) also combats mass removal spells.
    Gaddock Teeg is a new thorn in the side of the control player as well.

    "....If able"
    Dark Confidant is unable to block as it is attacking.
    You are correct.
    It is a legal target for the Hunt Down, though. Nothing of importance will happen.

  • posted a message on Rules questions re: new cards
    This makes sense in sort of a DUH kind of way.:B:
    - One issue against it that it could needlessly clutter the speculation or the new card discussion forum, which does see quite a bit of traffic during the season.

    -Also would the fact that the new issue of Scrye with a full spoiler in it make Lorwyn rules issues a "safe" topic? -It's less than a day away, and I know I may be splitting hairs, but w/e...:rolleyes:

    Trust the oracle wording.
    It's the most current, has all errata, etc.

    Just to note, auras target only while they are on the stack.
    If the enchanted creature somehow gained shroud after an aura was attached to it, the aura would not "fall off".
    --but do note that if the enchanted creature gained protection from a color that the aura is, it would indeed "fall off".

  • posted a message on Mana Burn
    Mana burn is treated as life loss.
    300.3 comp rules:
    Mana burn is loss of life, not damage, so it can't be prevented or altered by effects that affect damage. This game action doesn't use the stack.

    Yes, you have to sacrifice.
    Cataclysm doesn't target, so you'd have to sacrifice.

  • posted a message on prerelease regular sealed flights vs mega flights
    At my prereleases, there's a Main event and 32-player flights.
    The differences are amount of people(main event-unlimited), and prize support, as well as length.. More to the main event if there's quite a few people(64+).
    1st: 2 booster boxes of Lorwyn
    2nd - 8th: 1 booster box of Lorwyn


    32-player flights
    1st: 1 booster box of Lorwyn
    2nd: 18 booster packs of Lorwyn
    3rd - 4th: 9 booster packs of Lorwyn
    5th - 8th: 6 booster packs of Lorwyn

    it seems like your mega-flight is similar to my prerelease's "main event"
    --if you're confident in your abilities, do a mega-flight. It may be longer, but in the end it can be worth it.

    Very nice, Pichoro.
    Just gave it a whirl with the 'Walkers and Futureshifted templates.
    Very good!
    Thanks!

  • posted a message on arena VS Telekinetic sliver
    Arena doesn't care if the creature you control is tapped, it's ability would resolve. It's targets are "target creature you control and target creature of an opponent's choice he or she controls."
    Even if the targeted creatures get tapped before the ability resolves, it would still resolve.

    -The creatures don't need to be untapped for them to be targeted either.

    ..Yare beat me to it...

  • posted a message on Cabal Therapy
    From the glossary:
    Reveal
    To reveal an object is to show that object to all players.
    If a one-shot effect reveals a card, the card is returned
    to its former state after all players have seen it.
    If the cost to play a spell or ability includes revealing a card,
    the card remains revealed from the time the spell or
    ability is announced until it leaves the stack.

  • posted a message on Yes, there are some wild problems right now
    I guess I can post, too.
    But I wasn't able to until I randomly changed some options in the user control panel. First I tried switching to invisible mode, it didn't work. Then I changed the Postbit Style to vB3 style and it worked when I posted a rulings answer.
    I am a gutter member though. Not sure if it matters since mikeyG's a member too.

    -{mikeyG} here. I am a Gutter member, but my permissions (the options that give members access to various sections and abilities) may be different than other Gutter members since I'm a Global as well.

    Look at the oracle wording in the link you provided.

    To answer, yes.

    Note - Also see Copying Objects, Rule 503. There are enough important rules there that they are worth reading first.
