"get +1/+1" is different than receiving a +1/+1 counter. there is no counter involved. it's a static ability. it just continues to be true while the permanent with the static ability is in play. so your creatures won't be effected by, say, kulrath knight 's static ability. bramblewood paragon does not have a static ability that boosts P/T. it has an ability that gives +1/+1 counters when other things come into...

Oooooh. I see. That's interesting. Thanks! And what about my other question about Painter's Servant and Pithing Needle?

1) You just counter the one trigger from that one cycle. If you Cancel a Llanowar Elves you can still play other Llanowar Elves, this is no different. 2) You have to Stifle it after he discards. To play the ability, he has to pay all the costs (everything in front of the colon) so you can't counter the ability until he has discarded something and thus played the ability. And no, once again, it does nothing against any other abilities, why...

If it was a 2/2 Double Strike vs a 2/2 vanilla, does the double-strike creature still assign regular combat damage even if it killed the creature with first strike damage? Like let's say that 2/2 double strike had lifelink but the creature blocking it was 2/2 vanilla and died with first strike damage. Do I still get 4 life from my double strike?

Tide works great against RDW... they usually fear Magma spraying it when it will cost them a permanent card which will end up getting you a magma spray. It's also related to Demigod?! :] Remember kids if they don't let his ability resolve and play a counter spell then the Demigods ability will go on the stack after getting Demigod right back. This was best displayed when I watched a Fae match up my friend was in. He attempted to cast...

1) If my opponent has an Astral Slide in play, and he is about to cycle a card (say renewed faith), and I stifle Astral Slide's triggered ability. Does this mean that my opponent can't use Astral Slide's ability anymore whenever he cycles until the end of turn? Or does it mean he can't use that Astral Slide's ability anymore ever during that game? Basically making it a dead enchantment? Or does it just mean he...

First of all, It will be destroyed by Wrath of God. The acronym for Protection is DEBT: Damage, Enchant/Equip(/Fortification), Blocking, and Targetting. If a spell or ability doesn't do any of those things, then it's fair game. So, as for your other example, Light from Within will still boost a Stillmoon Cavalier, but, Suture Spirit wont be able to target it. As to your second post, Same thing happens. If a creatures toughness is at...
