  • posted a message on indestructable palisade giant??
    Quote from Jackasher
    @ musicman - that's what I'm aiming for.

    I more question my friend wanted to know if he attacked with say a 10/10 trample and I blpcked with my indestructible palisade would I still take 3 I don't think I would but we wants more a more official ruling


    All 10 goes to the giant.
    Normally, it would deal 7 to the giant and 3 to you, but that 3 is instead dealt to palisade due to its ability. This is true even when the giant is not indestructible as all 10 damage is dealt simultaneously and subject to the giant's ability.

    Quote from Sam I am
    I suppose it made sense to you from a flavor perspective, that having 2 of the same legendary made them both die.


    Yes, as trying to summon an object that is already under another planeswalker's control would cause that object to be ripped apart.

    Edit: Now if they're both under your control, however...

    It obviously needs to be banned.

  • posted a message on U/B Zombies - Need a little help/direction
    I don't know if I changed the entire deck. It would still be U/B Zombies.

    So, Havengul Lich. You pay 1 for his ability. After that has resolved, you can cast the creature by paying any normal costs (that is, the mana cost and any additional costs.) After that, it's treated as normal (like you cast it from your hand.)

    Havengul Lich: When you cast the creature from the graveyard, it's put on the stack. From there, it's treated normally.

    Adding counterspells and things to get your creatures back will greatly take away from the deck.

    You can ditch the Twin, Lich, Grimgrin, Specter and Mutilate. They are all slow or, in the case of Mutilate, detrimental to your plan.
    Add another Diregraf Ghoul, some Knight of Infamy and Blood Artists. Also, Bloodthrone Vampire is pretty alright. All of these cards will noticeably increase your damage output.
    Unfortunately, there's no outstanding 4-drops right now. Twin may fill this space. As an alternative, Desecration Demon or Duskmantle Seer (though he can easily help your opponent more than yourself). There's even less outstanding 5-drops in these colors.
    Your mana can be more directed towards casting the triple black Messenger by replacing the Islands with Swamps.

    Well, there's one idea on which way the deck should go.

    Ofc, Vampire Nighthawk is always good.

    Quote from Von
    The way I understand it is that 'attacks' and 'attacking' are two complete different things. The trigger goes off when beastmaster is declared as an attacker. Where as bloodrush only effects creatures that are already in the midst of attacking.

    Kind of like how Lost in the woods will not effect the angel token from Geist of Saint Traft.

    Correct me if I'm wrong tho


    Once Beastmaster is declared as an attacker, its trigger is put on the stack and it is also now considered "attacking". The trigger checks Beastmaster's power at its resolution. Any power-altering effects applied to Beastmaster before its trigger resolves will be counted. Since Bloodrush can be used in the same way as an instant (given the creature is attacking,) you can activate it before the Beastmaster's trigger resolves.

    You were completely right in saying that "attacks" and "attacking" are completely different. Just that once a creature "attacks", it is now "attacking".

    Quote from spacetime
    I don't think that would happen. If beastmaster went below 1 toughness he would immediately go to the graveyard, and the triggered ability would not resolve, or resolve and do nothing.

    It uses beastmaster's last known power.

    Just like Slaughterhorn has no synergy with Wild Beastmaster.


    I don't see why not.

    Attack with beastmaster, pump beastmaster. When its trigger resolves, it'll use its current power.

    Also, wow. Shrink effects mess Beastmaster up.

    Quote from Gamester2488
    Izzet Helix - UR, Instant, Deal 3 damage to target creature or player. Target player draw's three cards.

    This card is so underpowered it wouldn't see any play. You could safely make it a common because it's terrible in draft as well.

    Wizards pls.


    That card would be extremely powerful, actually.

    ^lol

    Anyway, it would probably do this thread good if we defined "mature".

    Quote from Valarin
    IMHO, anyone who claims to be mature probably isn't.

    It's pretty likely that a mature person would claim to be mature.

    Quote from Deruku
    You do realize that worldfire will exile the first chandra. No rules violation, Just basic stack principles that all decent players should be able to understand. Or just replace the second chandra with any creature.


    No, it pretty well works the way he described.

  • posted a message on Miracle vs Chalice
    No, it does not.

    Terminus always has a cmc of 6. This means Terminus casted for its miracle cost will not be countered by Chalice.

  • posted a message on Miracles and Descendants' Path
    You are correct.

    Nowhere on Descendants' Path does it use the word "draw" and its ability will not count as a card draw.
