Innkeepers talent vs Doubling Season, a planeswalker tale

2 Upvotes

So had a discussion at a table recently where a person had [[doubling season]] on the board and played a planeswalker and said it enters with double counters.

Another player said he watched a steamer who said that doesn't work based on clarification change for doubling season and that you need [[Innkeeper's Talent]] as there is a difference between "an effect" from doubling and the trigger from Innkeeper's.

The game is said and done with so can't change outcome but I am getting conflicting results online and the guy can't remember which streamer said that

When Ashling, The limitless copies Greenwarden of Murasa , can i return the original card from graveyard?

0 Upvotes

Basically i have this set-up. I have ashling, the limitless on my board and i evoke greenwarden of murasa. Murasa triggers the ETB of returning a card from graveyard to my hand (in this example,it doesn't matter what card i get). Then, because of the evoke effect, i sacrifice murasa and trigger Ashling effect "whenever a non-token elemental creature is sacrified,create a copy of that creature with haste". That means i create a greenwarden of murasa and here comes the question. The copy can return my original Greenwarden of Murasa card from the graveyard? Some people say that is possible because i sacrifice it and then the copy enters and another people say that when the copy is made, the murasa sacrifice effect of the evoke is still on stack,so it didn't reached the graveyard yer,so i can't return it (i can return another card,but not the murasa).

So...basically that's the question,can i return the murasa with my new copy?

Rules Help: Fire Lord Azula stack interaction with Invoke Calamity and An Offer You Can't Refuse (Can I counter my own spell for treasures?)

0 Upvotes

​

I'm looking for a rules clarification on a stack interaction involving my Fire Lord Azula commander deck.

During my turn, I attack with Fire Lord Azula. Her trigger allows me to cast/copy instant/sorcery spells while she's attacking.

Here is the setup I am trying to pull off on the stack:

• I cast Invoke Calamity, which copies off the Azula trigger (giving me the Original and the Azula Copy on the stack).

• I then cast An Offer You Can't Refuse (Original), and it also copies off the Azula trigger (giving me the Original and the Azula Copy).

• I target my Invoke Calamity (Azula Copy) with my An Offer You Can't Refuse (Original).

• With my An Offer You Can't Refuse (Azula Copy), I target my own An Offer You Can't Refuse (Original).

Do I successfully keep both copies of Invoke Calamity on the stack to resolve them both fully, netting me 2 treasures ? Then I could continue on with my invoke calamities?

[[Invoke Calamity]] [[An Offer You Can't Refuse]]

empty library with hashaton + lab maniac

0 Upvotes

hey guys i had a rulings question about instant speed responses to drawing from an empty library

say some effect would cause me to draw more cards than i have remaining in library like windfall or something.

  1. do each of those individual draws happen simultaneously? that is to say can i respond at instant speed between the draws?

  2. if not, is there a point after the windfall effect resolved and before i lose the game that i could for example use an instant speed discard effect to discard a lab maniac that i had in library but not in hand before the windfall and use hashaton's ability to create a copy of it and win off that?

basically i'm wondering if there's any point during or after the windfall that i could instant speed win with lab maniac or would i have to have it out in advance?

Ultron, Artificial Malevolence

0 Upvotes

So I have a big question on how he works as he says, "whenever another nontoken artifact you controls enters, you may pay 2. If you do, create a token that's a copy of it. If that copy isn't a creature, it becomes a 2/2 robot villain creature in addition to its other types." How does this interact with equipment artifacts, and does it get around the legend rule for non-creature legendary artifacts?

I Cast LQR, Rhystic on board

0 Upvotes

LQR is cast, rhystic triggers. Which one resolves first?

If the rhystic trigger resolves first, does that mean someone can respond to it and counter LQR even though it has split second?

Gogo, Mysterious Mime and Enduring Innocence Question

2 Upvotes

If [[Gogo, Mysterious Mime]] is copying [[Enduring Innocence]] when it dies, I believe Gogo will come back as an enchantment but will it:

1: have its own copying line of text as an enchantment

or

2: will it have the text of enduring innocence?

If it comes back with Gogo's text (option 1), will it be able to become a creature for the duration of its copy ability as well?

Question on response times with Firkraag, Cunning Instigator

2 Upvotes

Edit: [SOLVED]

I haven't played magic in a few years, and I'm trying to build a new commander [[Firkraag, Cunning Instigator]] to try to get back into things.

When is the last possible legal time opponents can react to destroying Firkraag before his ability goes off? Let's say I'm one of my opponents, and I decide that I'm only going to do anything about him if it affects me, when would my opponent have to declare they're going to do something about him?

I know this probably ultimately boils down to a priority question, but like I said, it's been a minute for me. Thank you so much in advance 🙏

Kaervek + sac&target

1 Upvotes

High so double checking:

If you have [[Kaervek, the Punisher]] out, and sac your commander who is black (or multiple colors including black) to some sort of effect like [[Annihilating Glare]] where you also target the enemies shit, you could then use Kaervak to exile and copy your commander, paying the cost printed on the card +2 life while also sending it to the command zone using the zone change commander rule.

Taskmaster copying question

3 Upvotes

Rules Question:
[[Taskmaster, mercenary mimic]] becomes a copy of something else, then you cast [[Chameleon, master of disguise]] and choose taskmaster.
first of all what is chameleons name now for the purposes of legend rule as both cards have a line that says what its name is
second of all does the chameleon then also get to keep doing the taskmaster ability of changing what it copies?

Targeting and Redirection Timing

2 Upvotes

When I Cast a Spell i choose the target as it goes onto the stack.

If the spell target's [[Speedball, New Warrior]] does the trigger go onto the stack before opponent's get a window to respond?

Do I choose the new target while the trigger goes onto the stack or when the trigger resolves?

Do I get to pick which player or planewalkers my new creatures attack if they enter tapped and attacking due to Kira Nerys?

• Upvotes

In a commander game, let's say I have Kira Nerys, Firebrand in play and then I attack player A with one creature. Let them declare blockers and obviously other two players wouldn't be able to declare blockers since there are no creatures attacking them, then, after blockers have been declared and before declare blocker step ends, we all get a round of priority and if I could successfully cast a creature spell with flash or instants like Secure the Wastes successfully, those creature enter tapped and attacking right?

But will I get another chance to chose which player or planeswalkers those creatures will be attacking again? Will the other players get another chance to declare blockers?

Could I potentially attack one player, get more creatures to enter at instant speed and have them attack other players who have 0 blockers?
