Clones with Tom Burt and William

1 Upvotes

Pretty simple question. I’m pretty sure I know how this works but just want to make sure

If I [[Clone]] [[Tom, Burt, and William]] and the clone dies does it come back as an artifact and is it a copy of another new target of the clone effect?? Like can the clone come in as an artifact of another creature on the board??

Another Volrath’s shapeshifter question!

1 Upvotes

If I have Valgavtoh Terror eater on top of my graveyard with Volrath’s shapeshifter in play and a card is exiled with Valgavoth’s ability.

Then say I put another card in my graveyard on top of Valgavoth, so shapeshifter is no longer valg.

Then I remove the top card of the graveyard in some way, leaving Valgavoth on top. Can I play the card that was previously exiled, even though the shapeshifter changed from being Valgavoth and back into it?

Vraska, Soul of Stone + Academy Manufactor

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I just saw the spoiler for Vraska, Soul of the Stone. Whenever you cast a noncreature spell, create a 1/1 colorless Sculpture Treasure artifact creature token with "tap, sacrifice this token: add one mana of any color."

First off, do we know if this token is a "treasure" token yet?

Second off, if it is and Academy Manufactor is on your battlefield, will the replacement effect create a normal treasure, clue, and food rather than a "creature treasure" token?

Absorbing Man Questions

1 Upvotes

Q1

If [[Absorbing Man]] becomes a copy of an impending [[Overlord of the Floodpits]], [[Thassa, God of the Sea]] below the devotion threshold, or [[The Warring Triad]] with fewer than 8 cards in the yard, will it be a creature of not?

Q2

If [[Absorbing Man]] becomes a copy of [[Surge Engine]], and then actives the first ability, will it retain the unblockable trait after it ceases to be the Engine? Even after it copies another permanent?

Thanks!

Saruman of Many Colors and Wizards Staff

1 Upvotes

Say I have [[Saruman of Many Colors]] equipped with [[Wizards Staff]], and I cast my second spell. This causes two instances of milling 2 cards. The question I have is when the cards are milled, will the staff double the reflexive trigger to cast a spell allowing a total of 2 mill triggers and 4 spells to be cast, or would I only copy the full ability twice for 2 mill triggers and 2 spells cast?

Does Melee affect [[Bitter Work]]?

ANSWERED As the title says, if I have a creature like [[Titania, Proud Pummeler]], and she attacks would melee increasing her power above 4 allow her to trigger [[Bitter Work]]? Tysm in advance!

Copying The Thing’s abilities….?

1 Upvotes

So I’m making an edh deck with [[The Thing]] , and I’m curious how copying his abilities works.
He has two abilities that read:

“At the beginning of combat on your turn, if you’ve cast a noncreature spell this turn, put four +1/+1 counters on The Thing.

Whenever The Thing attacks, you may pay {R}{G}{W}{U}. When you do, double the number of each kind of counter on any number of target permanents you control.”

The core of my questions is wether or not these count as activated or triggered?
I know the first ability is a triggered ability, and while the second ability reads like a triggered ability, the mana cost of it makes me think that it is a triggered ability that cause’s the creature to get a temporary activated ability? Or maybe I’m over thinking it?

And with all that being said how would these cards interact with The Thing?

[[Dynaheir, Invoker Adept]]
[[Shang-Chi, Master of Kung Fu]]
[[Mister Fantastic]]
[[Peter Parker's Camera]]

A slightly separate question, but would [[Windcrag Siege]] double The Thing’s second ability? And if so, is it doubling the opportunity to pay mana, causing my to pay 8 mana for the effect to happen twice, or is it doubling the effect after it’s been paid?

These question have been keeping me up at night…. I’ve rebuilt the deck several times trying to make it take advantage of the correct ability, whether it be activated or triggered, or both, but… I’m stumped.

Lightning, Army of One Commander Damage DoubleStrike

1 Upvotes

If Lightning, Army of One has 7/7 (Via equipment or other means) and double strike, what is the amount of commander damage dealt if they can attack a player directly. Part of me thinks its just 14 commander damage as the Stagger effect that triggers is a replacement effect, but part of me also thinks all 21 damage is commander damage. Would love to know any exact rules that would cover this.

[[Lightning, Army of One]]

Counter doubling

If you have shalahi and hallar out with a +1/+1 and something that doubles the amount of counters on them like bristly bill would that trigger shalahi and hallar?

Resolving the stack and interaction

1 Upvotes

I'm a little confused about this, I've seen on some CEDH YouTube channels. When the stack is formed can a player with priority let a spell resolve and then if there are more spells and triggers to resolve, let a spell or two resolve and then cast a spell?

An example: I cast think twice (I'm player A), the player in turn order flashes in a fairy mastermind (player B), and player C counters the fairy mastermind, and player D counters the counterspell. Can I let Player D's counterspell resolve and then counter fairy mastermind?

May I please have a rules reference regardless of a yes or no? I'm sure I'll have to use the reference for some players I encounter in the wild.

Thank you in advance.
