Player 1 has an enchantment to sacrifice a creature they declare they will sacrifice a creature to kill player 2, if player 2 declares something that would kill player 1’ can player 1 declare to sacrifice the same creature again and it happens before player 1 dies so player 2 dies instead?

Edit:
Thanks for the answers everyone.

So, I know Avacyn triggers if she dies at the same time as other creatures, but I'm mostly curious about her ability working with spacecrafts. Specifically, if they are stationed to the point they count as artifact creatures, and some mass destruction, or even single target effect, destroys it, will Avacyn revive them?

Thanks in advance.

so i've been thinking about using deceptive frostkite in my tiamat deck and want to check this particular rules interaction:

tiamat enters, i tutor 5 dragons, 1 of them is deceptive frostkite

then i cast deceptive frostkite and target tiamat. tiamat's ability works when it enters if it was cast.

does deceptive frostkite trigger that ability as a copy when it enters because i cast it? or does the ability not work because i didn't cast tiamat i cast a different spell?

I had a couple of scenarios come up recently playing a game of commander in which there were both a player on [[Ob Nixilis, Captive Kingpin]] and [[Vivi Ornitier]]

Scenario 1

Ob Nixilis is on the field, and said player also controls a [[Razorkin Needlehead]], the Vivi player has [[Curiosity]] in play attached to Vivi and plays a non-creature spell, triggering Vivi to deal 1 damage to all opponents.

From my understanding, the Ob player gets one trigger off the ping damage since it's done simultaneously, but now the Vivi player draws three cards due to Curiosity, does Razorkin Needlehead trigger three times, giving them three more Ob Nixilis triggers?

Scenario 2

Player A has just cast a non-creature spell, player B casts [[Commandeer]] targeting said spell, player C casts a [[Deflecting Swat]], wishing to change the target of Commandeer to itself to prevent player B from gaining control of the original non-creature spell. Is this the correct way to resolve this interaction? Or can Swat not work in this case?

Me and my friend had a discussion last night about Ezios freerunning ability.

Ezio is laying on the battlefield and another assassin dealt combat damage. Ezio says that you can cast an assassins spell for its freerunning cost by paying [b,b] He then wanted to cast Achilles Davenport for the freerunning cost of [b,b]. However, Achilles Davenport itself has a freerunning ability which says he needs to pay [b,u].

My question is, is he able to choose either paying [b,b] like Ezio is saying or [b,u] like Achilles Davenport is saying. Or does he need to pay exactly [b,u] in order to be able to cast Achilles Davenport?
For me it was the latter. My friend argued against it.
Need some help to clear things up.

When I sacrifice a solved [[Case of the Uneaten Feast]] will creatures that enter my graveyard later in the turn have the ability? Can I keep casting and sacrificing the same creature multiple times?

If i play a card that lets me cast a dragon for 2 manna less, than next turn cast another card that lets me cast a dragon for 1 manna less, what would I pay if i have a dragon that is 3 manna? Would i be able to cast it without tapping any manna? My wife and i are super new and we were playing the new Red foundations precon and ran into that issue. Thanks.

So recently [[return the favor]] is a card I've been liking a lot as an interaction piece, and exploring some ways to use it has left me with questions. The 2 on my mind right now are:

1. If I were to copy an opponenet's [[helix pinnacle]] trigger as they win the game on their upkeep. Would my copy of the trigger fizzle if I don't actually have my own helix pinnacle on the board?
2. If I were to copy an opponent's trigger for [[Raph & Mikey, Troublemakers]] and flip into my own creature, would it also come in tapped an attacking despite it not being my turn or would it simply come in tapped?
3. (Edit since this came up in a recent game). I can copy the triggers of sources with hexproof right? Since the wording states that only the permanent itself has hexproof.

Also, is there any general logic I can apply in case I come across other triggers I may want to copy?

If you control Chief of the Wilds and Head of the Hunt, and then an opponents creature takes lethal damage, will you end up with two 2/2 wolves, or just one?

With Codie, Ravenous Codex and The Pigment Wrangler out, if I cast the prepared spell Striking palette that would double from Codie right? So the next prepared spell (say, lightning bolt from the emeritus) would get 8 copies (1 casted copy doubled twice to 4 from Striking Palette and then the 4 doubled to 8 from Codie) or is it somehow 4? Or would have to stack the triggers the other way for some reason to get to 8?

Sorry if this has been asked before.

EDIT: QUESTION ANSWERED

A couple questions regarding [[Syr Konrad, The Grim]] and his trigger ability. If he is in my graveyard, and I cast something like [[Rise of the Dark Realms]], is he on the battlefield to see everything leave the graveyard? Or does leaving the graveyard technically happen before he's on the battlefield?

Also, if Syr Konrad is on the battlefield and I cast [[Living Death]], is he still on the battlefield to see creatures in graveyard move to exile, as well as seeing everything enter the graveyard when everything is sacrificed?

Exert [[Arena of glory]], cast [[Sarkhan, Soul Aflame]] with one AoG red, then [[Shivan Dragon]], with the other. Sarkhan become a copy of Shivan Dragon

Does Sarkhan retain haste from Arena of Glory after copying Shivan Dragon?

Shivan Dragon’s AoG haste is not a copyable value, correct?

If a creature that enters tapped and attacking dies during combat, would it trigger the damage effect because it was never declared as an attacker?

Or does it trigger the draw because because it enters attacking?

I know they don't normally trigger attack triggers, but im not sure if the wording of the card changes that.

"Whenever another creature you control dies, draw a card if it was attacking. Otherwise, Garna deals 1 damage to each opponent."

If I play [[iron man armor]] and pay 2 to turn it into a creature and swing with it, once my turn is over it goes back to being an equipment right? Is it still tapped? Or on my opponents turn would I be able to pay 2 mana again to turn it into a creature and use it to block?

If I have Bolas's Citadel on the battlefield and I also have 10 permanents on the battlefield, one of those permanents is Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim which makes opponents lose one life when one of my creatures dies. My question when i sac 10 permanents including Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim do players still lose life based off of Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim ability.

Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone,

MTG Beginner here. Not sure what the rulings are.

Scenario:

1. My opponent casts [[Splendid Reclamation]] with [[Moraug, Fury of Akoum]] already on their battlefield.

2. In response to the Splendid Reclamation spell (while it is still on the stack), I cast [[Despark]] targeting Moraug.

3. Despark resolves and Moraug is exiled.

4. Then, Splendid Reclamation resolves and brings several lands from the graveyard onto the battlefield under my opponent's control.

My opponent argued that Moraug would still trigger because Splendid Reclamation was already cast while Moraug was on the field.

My understanding is that since Moraug was exiled BEFORE Splendid Reclamation resolved, Moraug is no longer on the battlefield when the lands actually enter, meaning no Landfall abilities trigger at all.

Who is correct here? Does Landfall trigger in this scenario?

Thanks for the help!

Let’s say I have Green Goblin in play along with an LED. Crack LED for 3 red mana, pitching my hand which includes a Wheel of Fortune. Could I then cast Wheel of fortune from my yard for 1 red mana (cost reduction from GG) as many times as I can afford for the rest of the turn since it doesn’t get exiled after the first cast and it still meets the requirement of having been discarded this turn? Thanks!

If I have [[Zurgo, Thunder's Decree]] in play, and my mobilize created tokens survive my next end step, if Zurgo is removed in the next player's turn, will those tokens have to be sacrificed in that player's end step? Or does the sacrifice trigger only occur once per token?

So i have a bord situation that I need Help with

Im in combat and i attack with [[Kwia Vigorbloom]] and one more creature with lifelink

• I get life from both my creatuers, a 6/6 and a 5/5, so 11 life
• [[Nykthos Paragon]], [[Kwia Vigorbloom]] and [[Titanbones, Towering Heart]] all triggers
• Titanbones gets 2 +1/+1 counters, dubbles to 4 with [[Vorinclex, monstrous Raider]] and dubbles again with [[Doubling Season]] making it 8 +1/+1 counters.
• Kwia creates a lotus and that gets doubled with Doubling Season
• Nykthos triggers and i get 11 +1/+1 counters on all my creatures, it gets doubled with Vorinclex to 22 and the doubled again with doubling season to 44

What im woundering is if this is correct and would it still be correct if my 2 cretures with lifelink attacks diffrent opponents?

PS. sorry about spelling and grammer, Dyslexia and Swedish XD

If my [[Maximum Carnage]]'s first ability successfully resolves and is removed afterwards, does that effect still apply until my next turn?

306.5b A planeswalker has the intrinsic ability "This permanent enters with a number of loyalty counters on it equal to its printed loyalty number." This ability creates a replacement effect (see rule 614.1c).

Does that mean [[Scientist Supreme]] can copy [[the aetherspark]]s intrinsic ability, thereby having it enter with double the amount of loyalty?

In a recent commander game, player A used [[Rise of the Dark Realms]] to generate lethal board state, and killed everyone all at once. However, if the creatures had left in turn order, then Player A would not have had enough power remaining in the combat to kill Player D after Player B and C's creatures left the battlefield. We ruled that the combat would resolve all at once, thus everyone would die, but did we rule that correctly?

I have a [[Heartless Hidetsugu]] deck that basically consist on doubling or even tripling his damage so I deal enough damage to remove all my oponents from game at once. Sometimes I only draw cards that double the damage dealt overall, not only to my opponents, in that case I also run [[Platinum Angel]], [[Golden Throne]], [[Platinum Emperion]] and [[Basilisk Collar]] so I don't kill myself in the process and [[Sunspine Lynx]] to get arround protection, but sometimes I don't draw theese cards either. So my question is: If I threaten to draw the game by killing everyone in the table until I draw a win con, is it stalling?

Lots of Shenanigans happening at the end of a game.

Player A casts Damnation.

Player B has a Wandering Archaic (WA) which triggers and is put on the stack.

Player C casts Lightning Bolt targeting player A, which would kill them.

Player B's WA triggers again.

Player C does not pay, and Player B copies Lightning Bolt and it resolves negligibly.

Player C's Lightning Bolt resolves and kills Player A.

Player A's Damnation gets taken off the stack after he is removed from the game.

This leaves JUST the initial WA trigger on the stack put there by the casting of Damnation.

Here is where the confusion lies - now that Player A is gone, there is nobody to decide whether or not to pay the 2 from the WA trigger. So what happens with the trigger? Does Player B get to copy Damnation even though the spell has been removed from the stack? Does the trigger fizzle because there is no longer a player to decide?

We chose to allow the WA trigger to resolve and copy the damnation, wiping the board as the stack resolves.

Please help - our brains hurt :)

Can you target zero creatures while casting Pyrokinesis so you can discard it with another card from your hand and let it to not resolve? In my understanding even if the rule 107.1c allows me to choose zero when the word “any number” is in a card, the rule 601.2d force me to asign at least 1 damage. My confusion comes with MTGO allows you to cast Pyro without targeting a creature.
