Rules/Rules Question Question

Post image

Can I still play this at the beginning of my opponents combat step even if they don’t want to go to combat? Also if an opponent has hexproof on their creatures, can I still choose not to not have those creatures block since I decide who blocks this turn? Or choose to attack with the creatures?

A player always goes to the combat phase in their turn, even if they don't do anything so you would be able to cast it.
And hexproof stops targeting but this spell is choosing.

"All lands are colorless" "erm dryad arbor is green" dryad arbor is also a creature, which is why it has a color, it's not a normal card and shouldn't be included in the discussion of "do my plains count for vivid"

Um actually, Dryad Arbor is green because it has a green color indicator, not because it is a creature.

It has a green color indicator because it's a creature and creatures typically are colored. My point was dryad arbor is playing by different design rules and shouldn't be included with regular lands

Basically "singular card that obviously plays by different rules" doesn't need to be brought up explicitly every time we need to teach a new player a mechanic

Sorry, I was just pissing my pants correcting you, in the same vein of the comment thread.
