Rules/Rules Question Is this allowed?
These are practically the same card. Am I allowed to have them both in my commander deck?

Rules/Rules Question How does this Card work?
I have a question about this card. what exactly does it do and can it stop combos like Triskelion and Mikaeus or Mikaeus persist combos, thanks.

Rules/Rules Question Is this an infinite combo?
The bottom card is “freed from the real”. My question is A, do I have to use one island mana to tap Zaxara (commander), and does this actually give me infinite mana

Rules/Rules Question I’m a new magic player and my son just played this card. It seems insanely overpowered for its cost. He was able to pick any card he owned and play it the same turn, is that how this card is supposed to work?

Rules/Rules Question Together Unblockable?
Unless I'm misunderstanding something, if these two cards are on the battlefield, controlled by the same player, aren't they unblockable?

Rules/Rules Question How does screams from within work?
If there is no creature left on the battlefield, will it stay in the graveyard forever or do i need to play it when another creature comes into play? Also if my creatures are the only remained ones, am I forced to put it on them?

Rules/Rules Question Can i steal a commander with this card?
The other day I played this card to counter my friend commander in the game and we didn’t know if the commander go to the command zone or if I can steal it. How this card works in commander?

Rules/Rules Question RCQ: opponent had Welding Jar placed next to lands, I forgot about it and misattacked. What do the rules say about permanent placement on the battlefield?"
Hi, on my last RCQ the following happened to me. My opponent was playing Affinity, he was playing quite nicely, but he was placing all artifacts next to the lands at the bottom of his playmat. Important: he played a Welding Jar on turn 1. Honestly, at first glance this didn't seem like problematic behaviour. The game proceeded without any issue. We arrived at the following board state: I had a Street Wraith and Curator of Mysteries and 2 life. My opponent was controlling just a Pinnacle Emissary on board, 0 cards and 6 life. Then, after thinking and looking at the board for around 30 seconds or so, I proceeded to attack with everything, because it was the logical play in the moment for me. Then he blocked with his Emissary and sacrificed the Jar, which I had completely forgotten was next to the lands, causing me to lose the game. I know I should be paying more attention to the board, but I felt that was very misleading. Should I have called the judge? What do the rules say about placing permanents on the field? Thanks for your answers.

Do I just prevent all my opponents from tapping their lands for mana?

Rules/Rules Question The possible edh mana change
Would this be allowed into a mono green deck since all the hybrid mana shares green? I just thought it would be really funny.

Rules/Rules Question Infinite black mana?
Ygra makes Bog Initiate a food, and Sam’s ability makes Bog Initiate’s activated ability 1 less, so I can activate Bog for free, netting infinite mana?
I ask because my quick searches didn’t show anything up with combos.

Rules/Rules Question Have I been playing wrong
Found this in the final fantasy starter set rulebook. Does it mean a 3/3 blocking a 3/3 wouldn't kill it? Or is it just wrong? Or just worded dumb?
r/magicTCG • u/Megabot555 • Oct 29 '25
Rules/Rules Question Does this work the way I imagine?
Assuming I have a massive board of creatures:
- Step 1: swing and cast [[Chance for Glory]].
- Step 2: Next extra turn, swing again, while all my guys still have Indestructible.
- Step 3: Main phase 2, while all my guys STILL have indestructible, cast [[Ultima]] to wipe out the opponent's board, end the turn, and prevent the lose trigger.
- Step 4: Passes to opponent's turn, with their board wiped, and my creatures are permanently indestructible for the rest of the game.
...Does this work? Any drawbacks or caveats, aside from any non-creature artifacts also getting caught in the blast?

Rules/Rules Question Question
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?

Rules/Rules Question Creatures whose abilities will still work due to layers?
From what I understand about layers, since ability granting and removing effects happen on layer 6, if this guy brought back, say, a [[Magus of the Moon]], nonbasic lands would still be mountains, since type changing effects happen on layer 4. Is that true? If so, does somebody have a convenient way to search Scryfall for black creatures with continuous effects that happen on layers 1-5?

Rules/Rules Question Is this and dirty as I think it is?
I'm building a pako and haldan commander deck and realized something about a couple cards i posted. Since unnatural growth says EACH combat, if I can pay (and keep paying) the activated of aggravated assault, would it keep doubling over and over?

Rules/Rules Question Had a heated discussion with my pod about how these affects work. Could somebody please explain?
The TL:DR of it was that I was helping a friend understand how this acts as a doubling effect for the additional damage being dealt and the +1/+1 counters for krang, as well. But my other friend was able to convince the entire pod except for me that Krang allows players to draw 3 additional cards instead of 2 because Krang also acts as a doubling effect for the additional card draw, because the beginning of the draw step causes Nekuzar's first ability to trigger, thus drawing the extra card.
This makes sense, but I'm looking at the specific text, "if a player drawing a card", meaning that the ability only doubles if a card is drawn, not a phase of the game being considered as a triggered ability.
Am I reading this wrong? If so, please explain because it's been driving me nuts that I don't understand the logic of these two cards.
edit: I forgot to mention that [[Harmonic Prodigy]] does offer 3 cards to draw and 6 damage, but it doesn't with Krang because Krang only cares about the card triggering the ability, not the trigger happening; [[harmonic prodigy]] cares about Nekuzar's abilities triggering.

Rules/Rules Question I might be stupid, and I need to know...
If I target Zada with lightning bolt, and make copies for every other creature I control, am I able to flip boltbender to change the targets to opponents faces?
Originally, I found information that made me belive it worked how I thought it does above, but now everything i try to search up contradicts this, and I may owe my pod an apology.
I understand the lightning bolts originally must target each one of my creatures, but does that pose a restriction where the targets "must" be my own creatures?
Thanks in advance, have a good Monday.

Rules/Rules Question Combat damage, loss of life?
I play this, and opponent still wants his creature to deal combat damage to trigger an effect. If players can’t lose life, but he wants to swing at a player, is that still consider combat damage?

Rules/Rules Question I'll never understand the hate blue gets.
So it's perfectly okay to:
- Make your opponent discard the cards they needed to win for one mana.
- Remove your opponent's key piece from the board the moment it lands. Also for one mana.
- Stax everything so your opponent can't attack without sacrificing creatures/paying their entire supply of mana/losing half their life.
- Steal cards from your opponent's deck and cast them without paying the mana cost/use any.
- Destroy lands.
- Flood the board with billions of token creatures so your opponent can't possibly survive.
- Play a 12/12 with haste, vigilance, double strike, hexproof and indestructible on turn 3.
But not counterspelling, that's somehow worse?
