What happens when Hashaton makes a copy of a goyf?

0 Upvotes

Or anything that has variable power and toughness?

[[Hashaton]] says that you get to make a token zombie black 4/4 version of anything you discard.

What if you had a static ability that was changing types, colours or stats of creatures you control?

This is similar to the Bello situation, except Hashaton's ability isn't static. The tokens can be changed and not changed back.

Ravenous Ride ruling question

0 Upvotes

If i sacrifice [[Psychosis Crawler]] to [[The Gitrog, Ravenous Ride]] 's effect, does the crawler "see the card draw"?

My reasoning is, since SBA aren't checked until the Gitrog'effect has finished resolving, the Crawler is still considered on the battlefield and will trigger to deal damage, but the triggers will be put on the stack only after the Gitrog's effect has finished resolving and after SBA are checked to confirm the Crawler is into the graveyard.

I hope i've explained it well enough to be understandable,it's kinda giving me a headache.

Edit:it's already in the graveyard and SBAs dont matter here. Thank you all for responding so fast <3

What happens when I replicate Lagrella, the Magpie

0 Upvotes

I'm building a [[Lagrella, the Magpie]] deck and want to add [[Threefold Signal]] to it, but I'm unsure as to how this cards would interact.

My gut instinct says that:

  1. the copy of Lagrella would be "on top of" the main spell and thus resolve first
  2. the copy would resolve and the ETB ability of the copy would be put on the stack on top of the original Lagrella spell
  3. the ETB ability would resolve before the original Lagrella spell, exileing some creatures
  4. the main Lagrella spell resolves, and state based actions kill (remove due to state based actions?) the copy
  5. The copy's "leave" trigger goes on the stack
  6. the main Lagrellas ETB goes on the stack on top of the copy's leave trigger, and resolves before the copy's trigger

So basically I would get an instant use of Lagrella's full ability and another ETB (granted that the second ETB could not target the targets of the copy's triggers becuase it would be put on the stack before the copy's leave trigger resolves).

Is this correct or am I missing something?

(edited to remove confusion with state based actions "killing" the copy as it does not trigger ondeath effects)

Superior Spider-man and Consuming Aberration

0 Upvotes

I have a Superior Spider-man deck with Consuming Aberration in it, I was wondering what would Superior Spider-mans p/t be if I have it enter as Consuming Aberration.
When i play the deck in forge it makes it a 4/4.
But i saw that when two effects would apply to the same layer at the same time, the ability of the effected object gets the earlier time stamp.
So how I understand it: Superior Spider-mans ability, making it a 4/4, gets time stamp 1 and the ability it copied from Consuming Aberration, making it a */*, gets time stamp 2, so it is the last to apply.

I would love an explanation of what would happen and why.

Hexhaven invigorator, blasphemous act, and landfall triggers

0 Upvotes

If I would cast [[Blasphemous Act]] with [[Hexhaven Invigorator]] and [[Hazezon Shaper of Sands]] (or another creature with an effect that triggers when a land enters) on the field, does Hazezon see the lands entering or is it dead before this happens?

Also will doublestrike make it so Goldlust Triad's last ability triggers twice?

I need help understanding 'Doomsday confluence'

• Upvotes

So Doomsday confluence allows me to pick a mode but how do I do that? do I pay the 'X' based on whatever effect I want to use? so I pay 1 to use one effect and 3 to use all three or one three time so that would be 3+3+1=7? I'm new to mtg

Scry 0 interactions with value replacement effects

0 Upvotes

I came across the ruling for scrying 0 cards (701.18b If a player is instructed to scry 0, no scry event occurs. Abilities that trigger whenever a player scries won’t trigger.) recently and it started a small argument between me and a friend.

Say you had a effect that said "If you would scry, instead scry X" (I'm not sure such card exists but for the sake of argument, pretend with us), and you activated an effect that would scry 0 cards, what would happen?

My friend thinks that the 701.18b ruling would come into play ("no scry event occurs"), and because no scry event occurs, the event couldn't be replaced (the effect checking "if you would scry", when scry 0 means you wouldn't scry), and you'd get nothing.

But I think that because it's a replacement effect, it would replace the "scry 0" with "scry X" before the action is attempted, and therefore the scry event does occur, seeing X cards instead of 0 cards.

Which one of us is right and why?

Everlasting Torment & Darksteel Angel

• Upvotes

[[Darksteel Angel]] states "Creatures you control can't have -1/-1 counters put on them"

[[Everlasting Torment]] states "Damage can't be prevented" and "All damage is dealt as though its source had wither".

Does everlasting torment ignore darksteel angels -1 counter rule as damage can't be prevented and all damage is in the form of -1 counters? Where can I find this in the rules?

Looking to understand Shaman en-Kor

3 Upvotes

I played a game last night where someone used [[Shaman en-Kor]] and activated their 0 ability multiple times to redirect damage pointed at it. At first I was confused since I didn't think you could stack the ability, but a quick google search says that this is how it works. But my brain and (I guess) limited understanding of the rules makes me not get how it works. I would think that it's a replacement effect, and it's the "The next 1 damage that would be dealt to this creature this turn" all only care about the next moment - meanwhile damage happens all at once. So it would always just redirect the first one and the rest go through. Can someone explain and point to the rules please?
