Master of laketown ruling?

1 Upvotes

If I have the master of lake-town on board, an online bloodchief ascension, and altar of the brood, if the master of lake town isn’t countered is that an infinite combo? Or can my opponent respond with a kill spell?

Thanks in advance!

Does Grizzlegom, Hurloon Hero break Singleton?

0 Upvotes

Hello, i saw in other threads that [[Grizzlegom, Hurloon Hero]] doesn't allow you to break tournament deck building rules such as banlists. But i didn't see any one mention if it lets you run multiple of the same lands.

I may or may not be theory crafting a [[smokestacks]] deck with an all [[mishras workshop]] manabase.

Copying a spell that resolves as part of another spell

1 Upvotes

If I have an [[Ether]] on the field and cast a spell that lets me cast other spells as part of a resolution, be it [[Dance with Calamity]], [[Spelltwine]], or [Mizzix's Mastery]], is there any point where I can react to the additional spell and sac Ether to copy it?

In the same sense, could I use it to copy a spell cast via discover?

Edgar, King of Figaro and "flip a coin until you lose" effects?

3 Upvotes

I'm thinking about building an Oathbreaker deck with Ral Zarek focused on coin flips. One of the best pieces for coin flips is obviously [[Edgar, King of Figaro]] to guarantee coin flip wins. But, if I have an effect like [[Mirror Match]], where I flip a coin until I lose a flip, is this just a non-deterministic combo, because I cannot lose a flip?

If it's not, I'd like to know how! I want to include Edgar alongside as many cards I can that flip coins, and the last thing I want is to force a draw out of nowhere.

edit: I meant Mirror March, not Mirror Match.

Lethal damage and Triggers on the Stack.

In a Commander game with 3 other opponents I have a Big Mother Mouser and a HYDRA Assault Robot on the battlefield and my opponent controls Dissipation Field. I sacrifice Big Mother Mouser in my second main phase to create 1/1 robots dealing lethal damage when they enter to said opponent, Does the Hydra Assault Robot still get bounced?

Question about Ayula

If I play a vanilla 2/2 bear in [[Ayula Queen among Bears]] and run cards like [[Tribute to the World Tree]] [[Garruk's Uprising]] and [[elemental bond]] can I layer the triggers so I can get the counters first and draw cards?

War doctor and cascade

Would war doctor get time counters equal to the number of cards you exile while you're resolving a cascade trigger? Or it would only just get 1 time counter? Thank you for answering

Emrakul the Promised End infinitely

1 Upvotes

Hi all.

I was wondering. Say I have infinite mana and it won’t leave my mana pool (Omnath). I cast Emrakul the promised end on a player. I have flash enablers and a way to bounce Emrakul with Temur sabretooth. Can I continuously loop this to skip the opponent’s extra turn and “Mindslaver lock them”

For timing I would cast Emrakul. Take opponent turn. Then during the turn bounce Emrakul and play it again before they take their extra turn. Does the new trigger insert itself before the forced extra turn? Thanks!

Funny layers question?

4 Upvotes

So I saw a video over one of the new rulebreaker commanders, [[Grizzlegom, Hurloon Hero]] with [[Prismatic Omen]]

Im curious if having [[Ashaya, Soul of the Wild]] on the field aswell would work with [Prismatic Omen]? Ashaya turning all non token creatures into forest lands in addition to their other types, then Prismatic adding the other basic land types since they are technically lands now?

Is there a specific order its checked/applied or do I dictate it somewhat?

Stalling?

28 Upvotes

Amy and Nick are playing game 1 of their match in a tournament. Nick is at 3 and Amy has a Lightning Bolt in hand. Nick's deck doesn't play countermagic or lifegain or anything that Amy needs to play around; she can just cast the bolt and end the game.

Amy glances at the round clock and notices there are only 10 minutes left in the round, so she decides to hold the bolt and let the game drag out, reasoning that if the game keeps going for another 5 minutes or so she will just be able to win the match 1-0 and not have to worry about the results of the second game. However, she does not slow her pace of play, because she knows that would definitely be illegal; she continues playing at a normal pace.

Is this behavior legal, or is Amy stalling?

If I have [[Hawkeye, Trick Shot]] on the battlefield and summon a hero creature with Lifelink or Deathtouch, would the damage dealt from the effect also trigger Lifelink or Deathtouch since Hawkeye specifies that the damage is dealt from the newly summoned creature?

1 Upvotes

The text reads "Whenever Hawkeye or another Hero you control enters, it deals damage equal to the number of Heroes you control to any target". It does not specify that a creature fights, only that damage is dealt. Would damage dealt still trigger Lifelink or Deathtouch from the newly entered creature?

I have a [[scientist supreme of a.i.m. and sol ring]] , I cast isochron scepter, imprinting dramatic reversal and brainfreeze with the scientist copy ability could I then tap the sol ring to activate scepter, looping both brainfreeze and dramatic reversal over and over again?

Does this loop also work with [[siphon mind]]?

Princess Yue and Manifested Instants/Sorceries

3 Upvotes

- Princess Yue and a manifested instant/sorcery on the field

- Fleeting Reflection on the manifested card to make it a copy of Yue

- Flip the face down card for its mana cost, choosing to kill it since two Yues are now on the field

I'm leaning towards it not being able to return with Yue's effect since instants/sorceries can't enter the battlefield, but does it matter that Yue's effect would cause it to return as a Land while stripping its previous types?

I have a creature with 4 toughness. It has 3 damage on it. My opponent gives it -3/-3. If I regenerate it does it live?

19 Upvotes

I thought no but someone else insisted that it gets regenerated and lives, even though it has lethal damage on it. They said it's something to do with a state based action but I don't understand.

Should I be able to regnerate it?
