Rules quiz

Mox Emerald, assuming you have no creatures in play.  If you have creatures in play, even if they're < 12 power, one of them will be the top card (your choice).

[TracerBullet]

I disagree.  The first part of the Welder exchange ability is the sacrifice of the Mox.  This is the reason you can no longer have somebody try to Weld a Dreadnought in for a Dreadnought and sacrifice the one that was in play for the one that's CIP.


The Dreadnought's ability would make it the last card on the top of your GY.  The order of all things in your GY would be-

Dreadnought
Creatures you sacrificed
Mox

Why would the Dreadnought's ability change its order in the graveyard?  

It didn't go anywhere.

You end up with:

Creatures Sac'd to Dreadnought (if any were in play when the ability resolved)
Mox
Dreadnought

The fact is, that the dreadnought never left the graveyard; it didn't left it's position underneath the mox too

Well, I´m out of questions.

I could give people a pain in de head by asking what happens if someone reanimates a WGD with Dual Nature in play, but that is no quiz, just some serious amount of abilities to stack.

Feel free though

Well, this question is probably my favorite rules question to confuse new level 1s with.  It's pretty confusing to explain without visual aids, but I'll give it a shot.

Bob and Jenny are playing a fun mono-blue mirror match.  They each have 40 Islands in play.
Jenny casts a Tidal Kraken.
Bob casts a Confiscate (now labeled Confiscate-A) on the Kraken.
Jenny casts a Confiscate (Confiscate-B) on Bob's Confiscate-A.
Bob casts another Confiscate(-C) on Jenny's Confiscate-B.
Jenny casts Aura Graft, switching Confiscate-A's target to Confiscate-C.

What happens?

[Limbo]

Ok, let's do this step by step:

Jenny plays and controls the kraken.

Bob plays and controls conf-A and as a result, controls the kraken.

Jenny plays and controls conf-B and as a result, controls conf-A, and as a result, controls the kraken.

Bob plays and controls conf-C and as a result, controls conf-B, and as a result, controls conf-A, and as a result, controls the kraken.

Jenny plays Aura Graft, gaining control of conf-A with the graft AND gaining control of conf-C with conf-A. Jenny now controls the tidal kraken, that has no conficates on it, and all 3 conficates that enchant each other in a triangle. They still have legal targets, as all 3 are enchanting permanents. Destroying one would kill all of them though.

Hmm, if those confiscates were lesbians, we were up for a nice treat

Short and sweet, heres another one:

I am playing first in game one of a DCI sanctioned tournament match. I lay a land and say "Go". How many times have I passed priority?

If you dont know what priority is or how to pass it, just answer 42 and get some brownie points.

Should we just assume your opponent doesn't play vine dryad? Why does this matter? :/

What a completely useless and brainless post.

I´ll try it.

- Untap step
- Upkeep step - 1
- Draw step is skipped
- Main phase 1 - 2
- Beginning of combat step - 3
- Declare attackers step - 4
- Declare blockers is skipped
- Combat damage is skipped
- End of combat - 5
- Main phase 2 - 6
- End of turn step - 7
- Cleanup

So my answer is 7.

[Jebus]

Well, that's the end of that.
