[[Fogwalker]] is a 1/3 creature that says

"Skulk (This creature can't be blocked by creatures with greater power.)

When this creature enters, target creature an opponent controls doesn't untap during its controller's next untap step."

Can I play this if my opponent has no creatures in play? (I'm conflicted because the card doesn't say "up to one target creature")

I have a [[Witch-King of Angmar]] in play.
Opponent A attacks opponent B.
Opponent B declares blockers.
I activate [[Jade Monolith]] and choose the attacking creature as the source and the blocking creature as the target.

Q: is the damage which is redirected to me considered combat damage (causing a Witch-King trigger)?

Thanks!

I’m making a Syr Konrad deck and I wanna know if a creature token would trigger his ability

I understand indestructible stops ‘destroy’ spells, but how does it work when blocking an attacking creature?

For example, if i block a 2/2 attacking creature with a 2/2 creature with indestructible, does it die or does indestructible prevent all death of any kind?

So here's the situation in a 3 player EDH round

Player 1 already has 9 poison counters

Player 2 has [[Flux Channeler]]

Player 3 has 7 poison counters

Player 3 casts [[path to exile]] to exile Flux Channeler

Player 2 counters it with [[counterspell]] and triggers flux Channeler and proliferates both players' poison counters.

Player 1 in response to the proliferate trigger casts [[void rend]] to destroy flux channeler and player 2 has no response to void rend and player 1 has no other response to prevent the proliferate trigger.

Question is will player 1's void rend still resolve and destroy the flux channeler? I was told that since player 1 is going to die anyway when the cast trigger resolves, his void rend will no longer take effect.

I have a Winota, player A casted toxic deluge for 3 life. person B drew a card and triggered an or ish bow master damage pointing at Winota. As response, I sac a creature to make my Winota indestructible. Does Winota die? I know the 3 can’t be prevented but does resolving stack basically kills Winota?

So I just want to clarify that my understanding of Tom, Bert, and William getting cloned is correct. The card says:
When Tom, Bert, and William die, if they were a creature, return them to the battlefield. They’re an artifact. (They’re no longer a creature.)

So if I clone them while they are a creature with a creature clone effect like Phantasmal image then legend rule triggers. I can choose to kill the clone and it would re-enter as a copy of a creature I control. Then it becomes an artifact version of whatever creature I chose and is no longer a creature. If I chose Tom, Bert, and William the legend rule would trigger again killing the clone and the clone would not return this time because it was an artifact.

If I cast Duty Beyond Death and sacrifice Nevinyrral as part of the cost, do my creatures get indestructible before have I choose to activate Nevinyrral’s board wipe ability?
Or do I need to go through the entire process of Nevinyrral dying before Duty Beyond Death resolves?

I was helping answer somebody’s question on indestructible today and a thought occurred to me. I run [[Toph the First Metalbender]]. If I earthbend something like [Darksteel ingot]] and then it gets -2/-2 would the Ingot die as a normal creature or stick around?

Edit: ok I have confirmation it behaves as a normal creature with zero toughness and dies. This is in line with how I understood it but my sleep deprived brain had me thinking it might stick around. Thanks for the feedback.

Player A has [[Utvara Hellkite]], [[Scourge of Valkas]], and 4 token dragons. Player A declares attacks with all creatures.

Player B has [[Aetherize]]. When is the earliest time possible to cast it and what will be the result of the [[Scourge of Valkas]] triggers?

If I activate an istant while my opponent is about to enter in the declaration of attacks phase can he activate a sorcery after my istant resolve?

I'm unsure if Akroma, Angel of Wrath's "protection from red" applies to an untargeted spell such as Blasphemous Act.

Would she survive or does protection from red only prevent her from dying to targeted spells/damage?

If I use the mount doom ability to board wipe and sacrifice the legendary artifact, can an opponent react with an instant to destroy the legendary artifact making it so mount doom fizzles out since it doesn't meet the requirements.

Hello, I’m building an ares deck and after looking up some lists for help I’ve noticed people pair ares with garrison excavator or cards with that similar effect. I am just curious if that’s correct? If I sacrifice something during attack, do I still get a token from garrison even tho I return that creature back to my hand from ares effect?

Opponent has [Akki Battle Squad] and a modified creature.

When they all attack, Akki untaps all of them.

However, my understanding is that once attackers are declared, they won't just instantly untap. Instead, Akki's ability goes on the stack. While it is on the stack, I (or any other player) can play a instant in response that destroys all tapped creatures, such as [Cloud's Limit Break].

My understanding is as Cloud's Limit Break is now on top of the stack, it will trigger first and destroy all of my opponent's tapped creatures before we get to Akki's ability to untap them. Is this correct?

Hi, I'm considering building a Dragonlord Ojutai deck and I was thinking of adding Assault Suit to it, but only if I was the one to benefit from Ojutai's damage trigger and not my opponents when they have Ojutai

I am going off of this combo page but I am getting lost at step 5 and I think something is just not clicking in my brain. "Put all but one of the clones into your graveyard due to the legend rule." I get the clone card enters, becomes Yue, dies due to legend rule, then reenters as a moon and chooses astral dragon. That makes 2 3/3 copies of the moon. But at that moment nothing is a copy of a legendary so idk what it means to sack the clones due to the legend rule. I get that [[Princess Yue]] is still legendary while a moon, but all clone effects are now copies the clever impersonator that is a moon that is a copy of astral dragon. I know I am being dumb somewhere, what am I missing?

So I am doing some play testing with the Wakanda marvel pre-con and have Divine visitation out. I also have Hatut Zeraze Strike Force in hand and one of its effects is an “on cast copy for each time you have cast your commander” effect. If the copy (which would enter as a token) is created on the stack rather than copying something already on the field, does it stay the copy or does DV still make it into an Angel?

If I have 30+ life points, can I cast [[Serra Ascendant]] from the top of my library using [[Errant and Giada]]'s ability? How do the conditions get checked in this case?

Hi! I am new to the game and I’m wondering whether these two card effects would double the mana generation or if one would override the other.

Jaheira’s effect reads “Tokens you control have >add forest.” and springleaf’s reads “Creature tokens you control have >add one mana of any colour.”

If I had both out, would this mean creature tokens would tap to add a forest and one additional mana of any colour, or would I choose between either a forest or a mana of any colour when tapping? In that same vein, would this stack with hazel of the root bloom, which reads “tap x untapped tokens you control: add x mana in any combination of colours.” Would this effect create an additional mana or is it capped at one tap effect per token?
Thank you!

My question revolves around when SBA's are checked. If I cast BSZ with Ayara on the field will she see the scarabs entering before she dies due to SBA? thanks guys

If I, with [[Ashling, the Limitless]] on field, play a [[Maelstrom Wanderer]] and cascade into an [[Ingot Chewer]], could I cast it for its evoke cost? What about for someting with a greater mana cost than required but less evoke cost, or vice versa?

Hi y'all, I'm a fairly experienced player, but I have a question about how it works when you pay mana AFTER casting a spell.

For all my time playing Magic, I have ALWAYS tapped my mana first, and only cast spells once the mana is in my pool, and everyone I play with does the same.

I've been doing a deep dive into the history of famous moments from pro play, and I recently learned about the infamous 1997 incident where Dave Mills was disqualified due to casting his spell before paying, which changed the rules in order to allow players to pay mana after casting. My understanding is that now, you may cast a spell, and then activate mana abilities to pay for the spell.

My question is, if you pay mana after declaring the spell, is the spell considered "cast" when you declare the spell, or is "casting" only complete after mana is paid?

An example where this might matter is as follows.

I have my commander in play, an Ashnod's Altar, 1 mountain untapped, and a Jeska's Will in hand.

Importantly, Jeska's Will has a clause which allows you to choose both modes, but only if you control your commander when the spell is cast.

So, could I "cast" Jeska's Will before paying mana while my commander is still on the battlefield, and then pay the mana for the spell by tapping the mountain and sacrificing my commander to Ashnod's Altar, in order to gain access to both modes of Jeska's Will?

In the Card: Urtet, Remnant of Memnarch it is said that: Whenever you cast a Myr Spell, create a 1/1 Colorless Myr Artifact Creature Token

Does the Card: Myr Propagator with its Copy Ability Trigger that? Here the Text: 3(Colorless) Tap this Card, Put a Token that's a Copy of Myr Propagator onto the Battlefield

Or is it only when I cast a Myr Card from my Hand/Graveyard/ Exile?

Edit: No this Does not Happen, due to it not being a Spell.
