I was told the other day that when you Condemn a commander, that if you put it back in the command zone, you do not gain the life, because the life gain is conditional upon putting it on the bottom of the library. Is this true, and if so, are the same concepts applicable to Swords to Plowshares, Path to Exile, and Chaos Warp?
Say I have an opponent who casts Fireball where X is 5, and I am the target. Then he casts Reverberate targeting his Fireball. If I play Negate targeting Fireball, will he do 0 damage to me, since my counter resolves first, countering Fireball, then his Reverberate would resolve, having nothing to target, and do nothing to me?
Thanks!
Thanks!
