Now the question:
My understanding of an effect with more than one part is the following: Picture this situation: I have a Maralen of the Mornsong on the battlefield. Someone is playing Cryptic Command and chooses Counter target spell and draw a card. Since these two statements are in two different sentences, the counter still will be executed. Though the card draw prevented. What would happen, if the text would rather state: "Counter target spell, draw a card." Please note the comma in between. If it would be that way (as far of my understanding), the whole effect of countering AND card draw is prevented, because on part (the card draw) is prevented. QUESTION: Can you please point out the exact rules, where this is explained?
i'm pretty new, so if something is not correct, please point it out, so I can correct it!
Las night following situation:
I'm controlling Sigarda, Host of Herons and my opponent an Ob Nixilis, Unshackled. Now I'm going to search my library for something.
Ob Nixilis, Unshackled triggers on me to sacrifice a creature. Thanks Sigarda, Host of Herons I don't have to do it. However I'm still losing 10 life because of the second effect of Ob Nixilis, Unshackled.
