Two questions: Groundseal vs. Tog, Necropotence

[boasnapes]

First off, I'd like to say that everyone in this forum are my new buddies . I have a great deal of knowledge about the rules and the game itself, but once in a while I am unsure of rulings on certain cards. I am glad this forum is available for people like myself. Now on to the questions....

 I overheard someone say that with a Ground Seal in play, you cannot pump 'Tog via the graveyard. This sounds very wrong to me as you are not targeting the cards being removed. So to pump or not to pump, that is the question?

Now this one should be easy too. Say Bob draws 14 cards with Necropotence. Will he have to discard down to 7 in his discard phase, or does he get to keep them all? I thought he had to discard down to 7, but I wasn't totally sure.

Thanks again guys

Of course Ground Seal does nothing against Tog. It doesn't target, so it follows that Seal does nothing.

Yes, you have to discard down to 7 after you gte your Necro cards.

Thanks a lot Matt. I just needed to hear that I was correct. Go me!!!

Don't forget that those cards that are 'discarded' are removed from the game due to Necropotence being in play.  Way, way too often I see people forgetting about this restriction.
