If I'm, for example, "going off" with Reveillark , Body Double , Aven Riftwatcher , and Greater Gargadon , can my opponent require me to walk through all of the steps involved every time? Can he refuse to allow me say "And I'll repeat this a thousand times" once I've demonstrated the repeatable loop? Rule 421.2 says: 421.2. If the loop contains one or more optional actions and one...

Can you over kill a creature? Example. Can you mulitple lightning bolt an ornithopter two or three times in a single phase even though the ornithopter only takes 2 damage to be destroyed.

I just have a question regarding how lifelink works. My opponent attacks with Knight of Meadowgrain , and I block with a 1/1. Does he gain 1 life or 2, and why?

This came up in a match yesterday. I discard Conflagrate to Chain of plasma . I assume I retain priority to activate Conflagrate s flashback, before my opponent can Extirpate it. Is this correct?

So, I'm sitting for a judge test tomorrow, which I doubt I'll pass, but I've got to give it my best shot, so I want to ask something. Any important rules I should be studying especially hard for? If possible, the number in the Comp Rule book would help, since IIRC it's an open test.

ok my question is this, say i have 4 furnace of rath s on the field and i have 4 spitemare s on the field one of whom is pariah ed... if i were to shivan meteor one that isnt pariah could i shoot it back from one to another and before it gets to the pariah ed one, shoot it at me then deal it to the spitemare and then it goes to the opposing player... if so would it get damage times 2to...

question about him..or her or whatever. its ability to bring back an elemental is horde of notions WUBGR: you may play target elemental (creature or card, we'll just say creature) from your graveyard without paying its mana cost. since it doesn't say until 'end of turn' does that mean you can make any number of them playable and then play them when you want? (still at legal times, ...

During FNM last night my opponent and I put ourselves into a quandry. Both players at 3 life after combat, I play a psionic blast targeting my opponent, and in response he activates Keldon Megaliths. The Ruling we got was that the game was a draw and it goes to game 4. I'd like a ruling on wether the ruling was correct or if APNAP applies or card wording applies. Card tags are important. ...

i attack with my two wren's run vanquisher s.. my opponent blocks the two with his thoughtweft trio .. the trio is alive and my vanquishers die right?

Firstly, typical "i am sure of the answer to this" Ok Opponent plays Rite of Flame , Seething Song , Seething Song , Dragonstorm . He only puts three hellkites into play. He shortcuts and searches his library all at once and puts them into play at once. It is not my responsibility to tell him to get another Dragon because it is a hidden zone and the card has specific ...

this came up yesterday during a draft match: player has windbrisk raptor , and a few other random dudes in play. he intends to play mirrorweave to turn all dudes into raptors (with the intended goal of committing some major life gain through attacking with the house). the player in question was under the impression that this could be done at any time during combat... like playing it after...

If Nelson goes to Mirrorweave his creatures into Thistledown Liege s, and I Snakeform the Liege, what happens? Break it down for me, if you could. I'd like to learn how to rule this for myself for other creatures in the future. Thanks a ton!
