Short answer: No.

Long answer: No sir

Alas, this does not work. That is because the damage part is part of the activation. Comparing this with city of brass:


you will see what the difference is. Killing your opponent using the icy on a city will work. Combining it with the path is a little bit more difficult.

I'd say it probably is easier. Back in the day when I was doing calculations, there were a lot of damage races with creatures and stoof. I expect a lot less of these now, as there are (probably) more "Oops, I win" possibilities.

Card finished / not in need of flavor text?

I think it is best to answer this question using the "rules addition" on karmic justice


Applying this to the current situation, burning away the sharpshooters creates a trigger from the sharpshooter. The difference being that this trigger actually does something for karmic justice (costing your opponent a permanent), where it will not deliver for the sharpshooter (untapping an already dead creature is quite difficult I have noticed). Adding 100 squirrel tokens does not add anything, except for adding a lot of triggers that will not do anything upon resolution...

Oh, and if you look at the rules forum rules you will see that it is usually nice to add the rules text from cards to your post.

I am more for the wording from parallax, which gives you way more control over the spell.

Time for a neat flavour text?

Name sounds cool. The wording on adding / removing counters still feels icky to me though. Somebody else have that feeling too?

I'd assume that cars would be designed kinda rollercoastery (did I just invent a new word?).

What will realy boggle your mind is that the moon and the sun would actually influence our movement

I agree that it does not need a second effect to be usable. I definately prefer the Suspend 4 - U version, as this is more blue. It starts cheaper, while giving you more control over the card itself (remains in play longer for no investment, and effectively has suspend 3 for 1U too).

Assuming we keep the suspend 4 - U version, it is time for a name, flavour, etc?

For a card creation contest on another forum I made this card, accepting that it would probably cross the line on the powerlevelboundary. And obviously, it did...



However, it did bring me on the track of the card I am suggesting here:

Suspend Counterspell
2UU
Instant
Counter target spell.
Suspend 4 - U
1: add or remove a time counter from ~this~. Use this ability only when ~this~ is suspended.

Cool idea, or total rubbish? Feedback welcome of course.

Current wording:
Prophetic Denial
2UU
Instant
Counter target spell.
Suspend 4 - U
1: Put a time counter on ~this~ or remove a time counter from ~this~. Play this ability only if ~this~ is suspended.

I was expecting a new trailer, but this is soooo much better

Anybody know what kind of music is played at this gig?

Then at least say "GG" Which implies that saying something like ROFL or ROFLWPIMP while being at it is probably a bad idea as well...

1: So…  What happens if no spells or abilities were played immediately after blockers were declared, then the combat damage gets assigned (but damage hasn't resolved yet).  Now a bolt is played and I respond with CTW. 

The stack would look like this (from oldest to newest items): Combat Damage - Lightning Bolt - Culling the Weak
First the culling the weak would resolve (with the negator already in the yard -before- it resolves, as it is part of the payment to be made).
The lightning bolt would be countered upon resolution, as it lacks a legal target now.
Then the negator deals its 5 damage, with the damage of the goblin disappearing into nothingness.

2: Does a player have to say "I'm playing this spell before, or after combat damage was assigned"? 

No. The usual way to do this in the combat phase is that the active players asks "Combat damage on the stack?". This indicates that he hands over priority to the opponent. Then the opponent can choose to fire of spells / abilities (like your opponent did using the bolt), or wait until after combat damage is on the stack.

3: How exactly do you know which is which?
4: An argument can be made for both things to be true, correct?
5: One person can say we played these spells after damage was assigned, and the other says, no we played these spells before damage was assigned.

If you follow the point 2 guideline, no confusion will ensue.

6: Because combat damage is assigned to the stack, does that mean it is on the stack and it will resolve eventually?

This is indeed the case. However, be sure you know which creatures are around when you put combat damage on the stack. Also remember that "combat damage" is not an instant spell that you can put on the stack "at will". Combat damage on the stack can only be done with a fresh empty stack. So in your example, you can only go to the combat damage step after both other spells have resolved.

7: Can spells or abilities be played after combat damage is assigned, but before combat damage resolves?

Yes.

My post was intended to give silvernail some pointers to the rules-forum rules and a generally useful link. "Figuring out by yourself" was meant to reflect reading the wording on wizards when looking it up to post it, thereby possibly already answering the question and if that is not the case it obviously is okay to post the problem here. Apparently my post didn't fully reflect my intentions, so my apologies for that.

In addition, you might try to figure stuff out by yourself by searching using the card search at the wizards site. These contain the current wordings of all cards, and you can learn a lot by trying to figure it out by looking there first. This might also be a useful link

Edit: What they said...

"Oops, it started bleeding again..."

Somehow my first thought on this subject was "what do I care which way the beer goes, as long as its into the glass..."

Anyway, I am righthanded and tap clockwise.

Also:
I once asked a similar question to the professor in my advanced flow classes (for Bram's info: Gertjan van Heijst). He told some people actually did some experiments both on the northern and southern hemisphere with a circular tank of water, leaving the waters to rest for multiple days (could have been a week). With such a sufficiently prepared environment, the formation was actually completely random. Crisis averted!

There actually was an article in our local newspaper about this thing this morning. And by local newspaper I mean a paper for a small province in the Netherlands... Yay for useful inventions

The damage equals two in both cases. The difference being that after damage is on the stack, you can still flip Phage. Phage is the one dealing the damage now (the damage came from that permanent, most recent info is used), so a Death star trigger will be put onto the stack once the damage resolves. And indeed -> GG.

Yes and no, depending on the "cunning plan" of your opponent.

There are two ways your opponent can interrupt your gameplan, assuming critter A and Ninja B.
Plan 1: Bounce Ninja B before damage is on the stack. You can go Ninjitsu on his ass, deal 2 and draw a card. No damage from critter A.
Plan 2: Bounce Ninja B after damage is on the stack. You can try to go Ninjitsu on his ass, but it will not change anything. Critter A and Ninja B deal damage, but no card drawing occurs. No trigger as the damage is from the old Ninja, not the one fresh from the monestary.

Exception on plan 2: if critter A happens to have first strike, you can fuck your opponent over twice. If he bounces your Ninja, you can always go japanese fighting style using the Ninja AFTER critter A deals damage. You still can (ab)use your ninja to draw a card. The only way your opponent can prevent you from drawing a card is bouncing with Ninja damage on the stack. He cannot prevent you from dealing full damage though.

I hope I didn't make the examples too complicated...

No sir. The combo is just an arbitrarily large number of times removal and putting into play of several permanents.

Girl on girl with Mary Cheney. Owned!

To add even more strength to your words, I'd like to add this link. In the case of the quoted website, it is just a "hoax" instead of something serious like the discussed woman, but fact (of life) is that a lot of people start shouting / behaving like lunatics even though they haven't even the faintest idea of what is going on. Especially with the "press" smelling a  story in it...

As it is a triggered ability, maybe comboing it with some stifle-like cards might work?

Although it still is a weak gameplan I think. They should have given this morph

This won't get you chicks directly, but a free vacation every year to a place to catch them might help : click

Shouldn't this include a non-land clause? Otherwise it will filter all lands for a zero mana activation...

A very nice idea btw...

I sure hope that picture is taken i Japan...

Just found quite a new trailer of the movie. Was going to say that this made me NOT want to watch the movie ASAP just to piss off Bram, but this trailer is awesome!

As I understand it, you take a cool creature (Phage), make it multicolor AND slap on a huge drawback, just to make sure it can still be chump-blocked or control-magiced... Only advantage is that turns your deck instantly into life.dec if it happens to be sworded.

Sorry, but I don't like it at all, and see no way to make it work in an elegant way...
