Thank you for replying. It's kind of unfortunate that's the way it works.
For the record, I did read the fixed topics I just don't know why I used the "[[__]]" format . I believe I went ahead and fixed the card links but it still doesn't seem to work. Is it just due to the fact it's a spoiled card?
I'm thinking the ability is on the stack and it doesn't state you must put Nicol Bolas, the Ravager//Nicol Bolas, the Arisen into exile from play, so the ability resolves and the other side still comes into play. Is this correct?
PS: Not sure if I'm linking split cards incorrectly or if card linking doesn't work on spoilers, so here is a link to the card: https://scryfall.com/card/m19/218
Thanks. I initially thought of the Vampiric Link example thinking it wouldn't die, but then someone pointed out the key difference was that the enchantments controller never changed. After they made that point, it seemed like it made sense, but I just wanted to confirm.
I know if if player 1 casts Vampiric Link but player 2 uses a Spellskite ability in response, player 1 would still gain life assuming player 2 attacked with Spellskite and it somehow had more than 0 power.
Am I correct in thinking this happens because Player 1 is still the controller of the enchantment, regardless of which permanent it is enchanting?
I ask for this situation in particular:
Player 1 has a Death's Shadow in play and player 2 steals it with Eldrazi Obligator. Player 2 has more than 13 life. Since the Death's Shadow is now controlled by Player 2, it's power/toughness is no longer determined by Player 1, but rather player 2. Is it correct that the Death's Shadow would die?
Thank you, sorry about that we should have just read the card more carefully. I guess we all just assumed we knew what the card said. Won't make that mistake again.
I was playing with my friends in a multiplayer game and one of them used Bribery on me and took an Emrakul, the Aeons Torn. Later in the game the Emrakul, the Aeons Torn died and we didn't know who was supposed to shuffle their GYs. We collectively decided it would be the player who owns the card and not the player who controlled the creature when it died since we couldn't find any rulings online.
At the last Modern night at my LGS I was playing against a player who forgot to remove a counter from Ancestral Vision during his upkeep. It had 3 counters left on it and he remembered just after I drew after his turn and removed the counter. I decided to let it slide since there was no real "butterfly effect" between when he forgot and when he remembered.
I commonly hear players say if a card doesn't say "may" and they forget then it doesn't matter and they still get to take the action when they remember. Does this "ruling" hold up in an MTG/SCG sanctioned tournament? If it does, how far beyond from when they forget is allowable?
Thanks!
Is there some ruling with the way this trigger works I'm unaware of? Or is this a bug?
