So on April 30th, 2008 I'm going to be meeting a friend in Tokyo and spending time there until Monday May 5th. Anyone have some tips, pointers for me? Would love to hear other people's experiences there. Also, we'll be spending the majority of time in Tokyo and plan to visit Akihabara for sure. Thanks
502.52a Replicate is a keyword that represents two abilities. The first is a static ability that functions while the spell is on the stack. The second is a triggered ability that functions while the spell is on the stack. "Replicate [cost]" means "As an additional cost to play this spell, you may pay [cost] any number of times" and "When you play this spell, if a replicate cost was paid for it, copy it for each time its replicate cost was paid. If the spell has any targets, you may choose new targets for any number of the copies." Paying a spell's replicate cost follows the rules for paying additional costs in rules 409.1b and 409.1f-h.
502.52b If a spell has multiple instances of replicate, each is paid separately and triggers based on the payments made for it, not any other instance of replicate.
* Copies created with replicate will have replicate abilities themselves. However, since those copies aren't played, their replicate costs can't be paid and their replicate abilities won't trigger.
* Each copy is separate. If one of them is countered (including the actual spell card), the rest remain on the stack.
* If the replicate trigger is countered (by the _Scourge_(TM) spell Stifle, for example), no replicate copies will be created. The original spell will be unaffected.
If the painlands end up being uncommon, I will most likely pick up a box or two of 9th. *Drools at the thought of opening up foily painlands and foily jester's caps*
